I erred.
We go as a family to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings.
We eat organic foods, eschew transfats and HFCS.
We travel on foot and by stroller.
We go to the local coffee shop.
We carpool to work daily.
We own a small business.
We volunteer.
We recycle.
I won't go back.

I'm with you. Living 'locally' can be challenging at times, but it beats WalMart any day.
Have you read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver? It would be right up your alley, I think.

Amen, sister.
And if we're recommending books, how about Nickel and Dimed (Barbara Ehrenreich)?

Well now we'll have to take a vacation. Two books on the list, and I have seen that Kingsolver book at our beloved, long awaited independent bookstore in town...Red Fox Books. I shall go and buy these, let them taunt me on the night stand until I cave and find the time to read.

Absolutely. And, oh those eyes....

I never returned to work after Ava died and instead spent my time volunteering.
It was the most humbling experience ever.

Wow - those eyes are fabulous!

This is very close to the mantra I sing to myself every day (though I find myself erring again and again.)
I'm glad you survived Walmart; that was a close one!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
