What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

CRUNCH!!!!!

the advent calendar is getting full! less than 2 weeks until the big day. that means one week left until i HAVE to get packages mailed out. yikes! thank goodness i only have one more big(ish) project left to finish. this wouldn't be so bad if we were not also house hunting, taking a crash course in homebuying 101 (we are hopefully putting in an offer by weeks end), AND doing a major revamp to coyote's menu which we hope to roll out for the new year. whoa. can you say exhaustion? is that even a word, it sounds funny? please please please let the kids sleep past 5am tomorrow. PLEASE!!!! wish us luck on this house, we really love it!

deck the halls

finally got the decorations up. we have a tiny tree. i love that we can fit on top of the (fake) fireplace though. sometimes i really want a big one, but this saves a lot of stress with little ones running around. happy holidays!
