fine living on a shoestring budget
Green living is so important to me.
I firmly believe that living green can help you save green. It was through my weekly Food Waste Friday posts that I became incredibly passionate about food waste and composting.
That passion turned into a business. I now own and operate a compost education website called Naples Compost. We have three missions: To educate people about compost, to provide high quality products for our customers to purchase, and to pick up and process compost for our customers who don't want to compost on their own.

I know I’m not alone when I say that pumpkin makes everything better, even chili! Check out this super easy, and somewhat healthy, recipe for pumpkin chili. My weeks keep getting better and better.

It’s been a bit of a crazy week here so I’ve been craving comfort food. My dad has been in the hospital, my 12 year old little brother has been a typical moody middle schooler who hates homework, and my two boys have been sick. I feel like I’m at the max for what I can…
