How to Grow a Fall Garden (Green in 365)

This is Day 265  of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary of  Accidentally Green, Contributing Writer  Until last year, I only thought of gardening as a spring and summer possibility. Since I had never heard of fall gardens, I had never tried them before. Boy, had I missed out on a unique growing season. Grow a Fall Garden Fall gardens can be started near the end of summer. Depending on your climate, this may be mid- to late-August, or mid- to late-September. Typically you should … [Read more...]

Repurposing Containers for Toy Storage

  This is Day 228  of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary Kimes Bernstein of Accidentally Green I used to think that my husband and I had a lot of belongings. And then we had kids. Suddenly, the contents of our home multiplied. First it was all of the bulky baby gear – a Pack’n Play, swing, bassinet, and strollers. Once my babies outgrew those things, then toys and books began to fill our house. Now that our children are reaching school age, their toys are shrinking in … [Read more...]

Energy-Efficient Drying

This is Day 197 of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary Kimes Bernstein of Accidentally Green When it comes to laundry, the way you choose to dry your clothes can save – or waste – a lot of energy.

How to Prevent Mosquitoes Naturally

This is Day 169 of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary Kimes Bernstein of Accidentally Green For years I thought that commercial mosquito sprays and citronella candles were the only ways to deter mosquitoes. Then I discovered a host of natural ways to prevent the pesky bloodsuckers. My family tried these techniques last summer. While we don’t live in the deep woods, I did notice that we weren’t bothered by mosquitoes. So we’re repeating the same methods this summer with  hope that they’ll … [Read more...]

  This is Day 134 of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary Kimes Bernstein of Accidentally Green I remember when compact fluorescent lightbulbs were introduced to the public. My husband and I had just bought our first house, and we invested in dozens of CFL lightbulbs to conserve energy. Room by room, we replaced every incandescent bulb with a CFL one. The lighting definitely looked different, but we were excited at the thought of saving so much money. Then our electric bill … [Read more...]

By Hilary Kimes Bernstein of Accidentally Green Thanks to a host of hazardous chemicals, toilet bowl cleaners are some of the most toxic cleaners on store shelves.

  This is Day 79 of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary Bernstein of Accidentally Green As a new mom, I shocked our family’s pediatrician by mentioning that my newborn son was teething. That’s right – two tiny teeth were poking through the gums of my one-week-old. Because he was so young, there was no remedy I could offer, except for frequent breastfeeding. Oddly enough, his teeth disappeared back into his gums and didn’t reappear for another three months. That strange … [Read more...]

  This is Day 51 of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary from Accidentally Green I really wish my family could afford to buy all organic, all the time – especially because I would love to avoid exposure to pesticides and genetically modified organisms. But unfortunately, our current grocery budget just doesn’t allow it. Even with a limited budget I try to buy as much organic food as possible, lots of fresh produce – and I avoid buying produce listed on the Environmental … [Read more...]
