Your Green Resource time again! And, a little life update from here in Ricci-ville.

I feel only slightly guilty that I haven’t had any time at all this past week to get a new post up. So many ideas, so little time! I’m a mother first, and a blogger second, so sometimes this blog gets a little lonely. That’s ok. Better it than them. We’ve been doing lots of giggling lately, which has been good for the soul. I promise you no certain number of pinnable posts and shareworthy tutorials, but I do promise honesty and genuine striving to valiant homemaking. I will share my journey with you, and I invite you along for the ride.

We have been running around town this past week checking out rental properties in the search for our own place as of April 1. If you’re new around here, here’s the quick and dirty version: we moved back to our hometown area (the Toronto area) in September 2012 after 2.5 years of living out West in Alberta. We have been staying in my sister’s townhouse while she was away, and as of April 1 we are going to be living in our own space again (Seriously looking forward to that. Also looking forward to unpacking the boxes we packed last July so that we can remember what all we own!). The search took a depressing turn today when our dream place slipped through our fingers. Booooo.  I’m still so bummed out about it, but keeping up hope that we’ll find an even more incredible place to call home for the next few years. One day we might just save up a down payment and buy a house of our own! A girl can dream.

So, on to business here…

What is “Your Green Resource”? It’s your chance to share all your green ideas, resources and solutions with ALL of our readers! That’s right, when you link up on any of our blogs, your idea will get shared with all of the readers here and at:

Emily at Live Renewed, Megan at Sorta Crunchy, Stacy at A Delightful Home, Rebekah at Simply Rebekah, and Mindy of Creating Naturally

We know that many of you have posts of your own about your green journey that our readers will love. Some examples of Green Resources you can link up:

* Real Food Recipes
* Repurposed Projects
* Upcycled Projects
* Organic Gardening Tips
* DIY Natural or Green
* Thrifty Solutions

In addition to making this a weekly place where you can both share and learn new green ideas, each week we’ll be Pinning our favorite post to the Your Green Resource board! We want your green ideas to go viral – so we’ll pin the post for you!

The post I chose to pin from last week is the Almond Bliss Smoothie recipe from Good Girl Gone Green. I’ve been on the lookout for new smoothie recipes lately – I always make the exact same recipe, and I need to shake things up a little! This one looks different and amazingly tasty. I love maple syrup!

 So, now it’s your turn:

Just a few things to remember as you share your green living links – OLD OR NEW – with us each week:

* Make sure to link to the post with your green/natural/frugal living idea – not your homepage.

* We would love it if you could spread the word about Your Green Resource to YOUR readers by linking back to one of the six hostesses. Posts with a link back to Your Green Resource are the posts eligible to be pinned to our Your Green Resource pinboard each week.

* Your Green Resource is a GREAT way to connect with other like-minded bloggers. Check out the other links shared this week – it’s a great way to grow your own blogging community!

Happy Thursday!
