Paulina Lake Lodge

We took a little road trip for the 4th of July weekend. We went to Lava Land in Central Oregon. While we were there we stopped at Paulina Lake Lodge and had dinner in the caldera then we went to the Obsidian Flow.

Here are a few pictures from the trip.







How'd you spend your holiday . . . ?

Happy 4th of July!!!

Earth-Friendly Friday

I got a package in the mail from Green Works on Tuesday. It had this sturdy tote bag in it, which I will use when I go grocery shopping - and save the landfills from a few hundred plastic bags over the course of one year. But another really cool thing about this bag is that it was a reward I got for submitting an Earth-friendly idea. How EZ-smeazy is that?

And this bag was designed by Hollywood actress and mom, Jennie Garth. The Green Bag by Jennie Garth is made from 100 percent recycled cotton and is reusable.

Green Works is a great company so, if you get a chance, check out their website.

(Hope you all have a fantastic "green" holiday weekend!!!)
