DISQUS

Marriage is a decision to love another person just as they are, and love ourselves in the process. It is choosing to love a person who you don't like in some moments and realizing that it is worth the effort.

I couldn't agree with you more on this one. I absolutely HATE those stupid "Thanks for following" messages because it is so obvious they are robots and even more obvious that they are nothing more than a ploy to get more clicks. I agree -- makes me want to unfollow the sender on principle.

I watched this on ProBlogger, and you seriously inspired me. I was holding my breath when you were making that call thinking it would go south quickly. But you made it so ridiculously easy that I started doing my own cold calling today. Way to get me off my bloggy butt!

I can't disagree with you at all. Donating furniture and larger items should be a lot easier than it is. I can't speak for New York, but in Georgia, we've always had to take our furniture to Goodwill or Salvation Army drop-off locations ourselves. It took some extra time and renting a truck, but it was worth it knowing that the pieces wouldn't end up in a landfill. We also ask around to friends and family to see if they need any of the items we're getting rid of.

My hubby and I believe we have found our dream home, but we also believe we can find a greener hoome that we'll feel better about buying. This book would help us evaluate the current home's green-ness.

Thanks for including GreenYourDecor!

The new design really does look great! It's fresh and lively, and I think it was a great move to include your photo in the header. As a graphic designer who loves to tweak, tweak, tweak, I know how long it can take to pull it all together to a design you love. You really did a great job!

I really like the Born Free sippy cups too. Looks like they are popular :) Thankfully my daughter is at the age when she's not pulling, tugging and dropping everything to make it leak, so its been pretty good to us.

A step-by-step guide to green building would be right up my alley. Just what I need to put me in true visionary mode. These are some truly awesome giveaways!

And my love for vintage furniture continues! I love these chairs! I recently blogged about another company that does similar work: Kanibal Home. Their furniture isn't quite as pricey, but it is definitely great to have vintage furniture options. Lotus Bleu's fabrics literally make me salivate...lol. Thanks for the great tip! This is one I will definitely have to pass on to my readers!

As a graphic designer, I can't believe I hadn't heard about MOO cards before! Thanks for the heads up, particularly since I need to get some new cards both for my graphic design business and my blog :)

Ever the green decorator (my blog can attest to that) this giveaway literally makes my day. And since I've been meaning to pick up a copy of The Lazy Environmentalist, it makes my day twice :) I've been looking at the wall next to my bed trying to figure out what to do with it....now I know!

These photos are great! You obviously chose a talented photographer, but you are a very photogenic family, too!

Glad to hear Home Depot has started this program, because this is a large part of the reason I have been reluctant to buy CFLs. Now if I can just find some affordable LEDs...

I'm a graphic designer by trade (mostly branding and print...not much web), and when I started my blog, I didn't realize how different the blogosphere was. I started off with a boring 2-column design that I soon realized didn't reflect my content or the likely sensibilities of my audience. Now, both my header and my page background reflect those. Considering my blog is about eco-friendly home decorating, I wanted it to be sophisticated and pleasing to the eye. And I think the color scheme definitely reflects that it is a labor of love.

I have a new 3-column design with 2 columns in the right sidebar. This has allowed me to put my RSS feed and newsletter subscription above the fold, while still being able to offer targeted ads to my readers. All of my ads are either about green living in various areas of life, or about home design and decorating -- both which are very related to my content and therefore likely to interest my readers. And while my header is fairly deep, it's not as deep as it was at first, and again, I think it reflects the content of my blog.

This is a great idea. Typically, the people who come to GreenBlog are probably the ones who are already trying to make a difference. Millions of people use StumbleUpon, and maybe the Earth Day page will encourage many of them to participate.

I'm not sad for the U.S. to lose this particular designation. But collectively, we are still a bunch of wasteful polluters who haven't even begun to undo the damage we've done to the planet.

As much as I love Apple computers, this is a ridiculous complaint. The 2 logos are clearly different, and it is unlikely their industries and purpose will intersect. Noone is going to mix them up.

I love finding items like this! So many people hold the misconception that everyone who loves the environment is a hippie tree-hugger. I love items like this that are both stylish and eco-friendly, and once more people understand that you don't have to sacrifice one for the other, I think so many more people would go green.
