The Ultimate Blog Party!!

Ladies, it is that time of year again!



The Ultimate Blog Party is going on over at 5 Minutes for Mom!

The blogging life is about relationships — meaningful friendships that grow out of sharing who we are and getting to know one another.


***********************************************************************************************************


Now, on with who *I* am.

Hi.. I am Crunchy Green Mom.
I am a single mom of six children and a hippie.

No, not the kind of hippie you might think.
I am the eco-friendly, plates made from leaves,
Hair dye made from henna, organic soaps and clothes.

However, I like to look stylish, I am dating a Republican.
(Breathe... I know.. it was weird for me at first also.)
I am addicted to my Blackberry and I love to drive trucks.

That doesn't mean I don't want to do right
by my kids, my earth and myself.

My two chosen books that I am following are: Gorgeously Green and The Green Year

There is a brief history of who I am, now for a treat. (Look to your right, those are my kids. Pretty cute huh?) Oh.. the OTHER treat!

I am doing a giveaway for a lovely local company called

Om Shanti Handcrafts

This Etsy shop is owned by Kate and her product is amazing.
When I opened up the box I was greeted with these lovely treasures.





They smell... clean.
They don't leave a heavy residue on your skin and
the dedication to detail is recognized.
Not too strongly scented to over power your natural scent.

My feet are going to be thanking me all night for these treatment!
Summer is coming and I need to make sure they look great in sandals.

Heaven? Yes, I was so very happy to get my hands on these. So was the toddler, she took a bite out of it. I am assuming by the look on her face, she was not impressed with the flavor.

These lovely little gems will be taken to my boyfriends house tomorrow and remain there for me! He keeps saying I need to bring things over... this is my first contribution to "my" shower.
