Peggy’s Favorite Posts from Year One
As another way of celebrating our first anniversary, Jennifer and I are compiling our fave posts of the past year. As many of you longtime readers know, I joined Tree Hugging Family in February. So, while I haven’t been here the entire year, I’ve at least been a Tree Hugging Family reader for that long.
It’s been a wonderful experience. I have the dedicated community here to thank for that. And, of course, my fun green co-blogger Jennifer who got this blog off to such a great start and keeps it going that way.
Here are my 12 favorite posts of the last year. They don’t belong to a particular month. I jumped around the categories a bit. We write so much, it was difficult to choose. So, please chime in if I’ve left out your favorite post! : )
Candied Flowers — I love both flowers and candy, so this idea is just awesome to me. Thanks to Jennifer for putting the directions together for us.
Hug This Tree: The Chocolate Tree — That’s right. I’ve been fascinated with cacao for years now. I just adore the sound of the word, and the taste of chocolate. Yum.
Moving on from the sweet theme . . .
Used for the New Year — This was my very first post for Tree Hugging Family. I was a guest blogger then. If you missed it, please ponder just what’s so wrong with “used.”
CleanWell’s Kid-Safe Hand Cleaning Products — This one may seem strange, but I loved receiving CleanWell to review. While I decided not to purchase the soap, I’m on my third installment of the natural hand sanitizing spray.
Hug This Animal: Bonobo — Of course, the bonobo is my favorite primate. I think. I really like them all, but if I had to pick in a pinch I’d say I admire the bonobo best. And we still have a lot of work left to do to protect them.
One Small Step: Please Don’t Feed the Animals — I want to say this to the “crazy duck lady” who empties out bags of bread each day, but I don’t have the heart.
Green Wedding Idea: Wedding Cake Toppers — I’m not a huge fan of weddings, but I found these cake toppers to be very redeeming! And cute. Too cute.
Meatless Meals: How to Cook Everything Vegetarian — Well, I still think this cookbook rocks, so by extension, I like this post as well. I need to make naked tamales again soon!
Green Book Review: Big Green Purse — My favorite green book of the year!
Cats and Climate Change: Greening Feral Cats Too — Don’t forget the feral kitties.
Biodegradable Resting Spots — Sounds morbid, but it’s important to think about.
Eco-Friendly Birthday Theme Cakes — Jennifer picks her favorites, beautiful! And interesting.
