Happy New Year!

Happy New Year folks! I can't believe how the years are just flying by now. The days are long but the years are short. Now that we've been settled in the city of Chicago for about 2 1/2 months I feel that I can return to my composting ways. My makeshift composter that I had made last year from a laundry hamper has been curing for the past few months in my in-law's backyard. As a novice composter, I didn't take into account of moving (again) or these cold wintry months where decomposition takes twice as long. The design of the compost was also poor because of its rectangular shape and open top, it was hard to stir the compost. I've just been browsing on the internet today and found a great blog called enviromom. Its written by two mom's who have taken on the challenge to greenify their lives and family. There was a short post and a video about the way their families compost, which was ingenious! One family uses the Earth Machine (which I am about to purchase) while the other family buries food scraps in their garden. I am loving their blog and their ideas! Here is their composting post.

Anyway, it's a new year and I wish everyone a happy and hopeful one! My new years resolution for this year is to 1) always have hope for the future and 2) work on building better and stronger relationships. What are yours?
