Yesterday, when we were at Blueline Paddle Surf Shop picking up our paddle boards, I had to check out their selection of eco-friendly sandals. And I fell in love with the Umi from Ocean Minded – made from recycled plastic bottles, car tires and croslite, these sandals are super-comfy and vegan. I picked up a pair in turquoise, one of my favorite colors. You can grab a pair from the Ocean Minded website for $19.99 – what a deal, since I paid $30.
Which color would you choose?
This morning, the mister and I went on a 2 hour bike ride at the beach. It was fantastic – we stopped to admire some amazing blue crabs cleaning their homes along the bike trail and then stopped and watched in amazement as a beautiful Blue Spotted Stingray chased a school of fish. Isn’t it fun to get out in the middle of the work day and do something adventurous?
While I get showered up so I can finish my work day, here are a few green things to take you into the weekend:
– Organic Valley is giving away $200 to NCGA food coop.
– A super cute Trick or Treat bag for a good cause.
– A fantastic cave in Mexico. Wow.
– Talk about Up Close and Personal.
– Would you go camping on the lake?
– Did you grab your FREE sterling silver earrings from AmaraGold?
Have a lovely safe weekend, I will see you back here on Monday.

Do you remember our trip to North Carolina last autumn to see the leaves change color? The mister surprised me – for our 12 year anniversary, we are taking another trip this October. We are so excited, especially Eben (yes, we are taking him on our anniversary trip – he is the most important part of our love!) He can’t wait to pick giant pumpkins in the pumpkin patch, stroll through the corn mazes, admire woolly worms, take amazing hikes and munch on caramel apples at the farmer’s market. Can you blame him?
I grew up in a log home in the mountains of Utah, so taking an autumn trip and staying in a log home is very important to me. I want to share those memories with Eben – and North Carolina is so close to us, it is so easy to jump in the car and drive to autumn – since it doesn’t come to us in Florida. Ha. And I GUARANTEE that Mr. Sweet Greens will be talking of building one of these the whole way there!
Do you have a special trip that you take every autumn?
I would love to hear about them.
Hello, Friends. How was your week? Are you in the back to school grove? We are looking forward to a weekend of biking to the beach and dinner with friends. Simple and sweet, the way weekends should be. While I finish up for the day, here are a few green things for you to enjoy:
– This would be fun as a holiday advent calendar. A Rootbeer each day.
– Dislike beets? This salad might change your mind.
– Find local food in your area. Yep, there’s an app for that!
– Let’s celebrate National Honey Month by eating this for brunch tomorrow.
– Now this is my kind of fashion – bike fashion.
– The perfect recycled bow ties for your little guy.
– This photo makes me think of the last days of summer.
– Today is the last day to win this fantastic package!
– ALL of my readers get a pair of sterling silver earrings for FREE.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of fun and family time. I will see you back here on Monday.

Ever since we moved back to Florida, Mr. Sweet Greens and I have been talking about buying paddleboards. We want to paddleboard because we love to be on the water and think it would be the perfect activity to enjoy as a family while getting a great workout. The idea of standing above the water with a great view is very appealing.
We have been doing research on eco-friendly paddleboard companies and came across Everpaddle located in Hawaii. With a commitment to keeping our oceans, coasts, environment and community healthly, Everpaddle seems like the perfect fit for us! I love their Everpaddle Stand Up Paddleboard Packages and this heart paddle is fantastic! Now, if I could only find them locally in Florida.
Have you tried paddleboarding?
