The Most Beautiful Person I Know
My daughter is the most beautiful person I know. Sounds like a bit of a cliche, I guess, but when Seventh Generation asked me to share with you the most beautiful person in my life, all I could think of is her smile, her compassion, and her clever mind. She’s young, of course, which brings […]
How Can You Recycle Electronics?
Amazing. When I was a child, few families had a personal computer. No one had cell phones.

Thank You, Guidecraft and Klutz, for Helping Kids Affected by Hurricane Sandy
I want to take a moment to thank Klutz and Guidecraft for bringing Christmas to some of the children devastated by Hurricane Sandy on Long Island. Many of these families lost everything in the storm. A toy at Christmas is a little bit of hope–it is the gift of caring to the parents and a […]

We have several personalized books for my daughter but none for our sons so my older boy was delighted when My Very Own Pirate Tale, personalized with his name, arrived from I See Me. This charming book centers on a pirate captain’s search for a new first mate. Sea creatures suggest qualities the perfect candidate […]
Adopt a Long Island Family Affected by Hurricane Sandy
