Goodbye Tree Hugging Families!

During the summer of 2007, I’d been writing for b5media for a while, and when my editor at the time asked for ideas for a new blog, I suggested Tree Hugging Family. I’d seen all sorts of green blogs, but none for families in particular, and being in a family, that made me cranky. My editor loved the idea and by the end of summer, Tree Hugging Family sprouted.

Almost 1,000 green posts later, it’s time for me to move on to other adventures.

Your new blogger here is someone you hopefully remember – Peggy! Our ex (and now back) THF co-blogger. Peggy left a year ago, and has been missed, so it’s awesome she’s coming back. She’s a great friend of mine, a super cool blogger, and I know this blog will be in excellent hands.

I’ll still be hanging around THF as a loyal reader, but if you miss me a lot, I’m an easy blogger to find. I’ve got plenty of green projects going on around the web. Come visit me at one of them.

The decision to leave THF is hands down the hardest blogging decision I’ve ever had to make. I adore this blog and love the readers here and all of your thoughtful, helpful comments. I feel like my son Cedar and me have both been able to grow so much greener over the years and a lot of that is due to the constant positive reader feedback and participation here.

Tree Hugging Family has been an amazing journey and it’s been such a huge honor that you’ve all shared your green goals, green living challenges, and ideas here. I wish all of you and your families well in your continuing efforts to get green, stay green, and build a cleaner, more eco-friendly world for your kids.

Take care and keep on hugging those trees!
