I'm not the craftiest green diva, but I have been so inspired by some of my creative friends lately. Pinterest has become a visual buffet of craft porn and I've been having this urge to stop everything, run to Michael's for supplies and get creative with so much of the old stuff lying around here.

Oh boy. Whether you are rooting for the guy who got Clint Eastwood to babble to an empty chair (Mitt Romney), or the guy who is tap dancing as fast as he can in the White House to the “be patient. hope is on the way” song (President Barack Obama), you know this is a critical crossroad in our country’s history.

I was scheduled to be on a TV morning show called Ebru Today Monday morning the week of the meatless media poo-storm (ironic it was a Monday, never thought of that). I picked my topic a couple of weeks prior and planned to talk about the importance of understanding how our food impacts the environment.

We had a little fun this week getting settled into our new Green Divas HQ. In this video, we talk about Green Diva Lisa's travels, having a relatively eco-friendly move and why I'm celebrating having bats in the belfry!
