WE NEED YOUR HELP AND FEEDBACK!!!!!

Hi Friends. Hope that you are all well! Mandy and I have been talking about creating a new blog for our friends to create a on-line community of friends and family who are interested in healthy living, green practices,great recipes on a budget,snacks for toddlers,making your own bread, gardening, etc....for families and for singles. We need to know if this is something that you are interested in and if this type of on-line community is of interested. I know there are tons out there- it would just be something fun for our friends and growing community of people with families who desire healthy, simple living. We would LOVE to hear from you. The idea is to hopefully post daily or every two days with new recipes, snack, lunch and dinner ideas, in addition to anything to do with healthy living. We would also love to entertain any other ideas or thoughts for those who work inside and outside the home.We would love to hear your feedback, ideas and what is practical for you. We think it could be a great way to be apart of daily living with each of you. So if you have read this- we would love your ideas and feedback before we get started! Thanks! The Schlenker/Stewart Girls!

Hey Jen... this sounds awesome. It would be great to be able to "live life" with all of you so far away. I love it!! I think it would turn into a little life source for all of us! ;)

Hey girls,
I would definitely check it out. I have a picky toddler (despite all efforts for him not to be), so any advice and recommendations are welcomed. Love to you both!

Jen,
I'm super interested! Like all the rest of the ladies on here, I'd love to know what others are doing, especially with budgets, healthy cooking, and even maybe fun family crafts (I am not a crafter at all, but I think my kids would enjoy some creative action). Great idea girls!

Hey Jenny,
It has been a really long time. I got a note from Eric Soderin and as I was checking out his blog, I also saw yours. I love this idea. I love that you love this idea. Nick and I are constantly trying to figure out how to live simply and in a way that has a gentle impact on the world. I'm not on the computer much, but I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Hey Jenny, I think this is a great idea! I'd love to help out in the building/design of it if you need it. I'm building a couple of blogs for people and have done a few for myself and have wasted way too much time with mommy-blog-osphere. :) Even just got back from a blogging conference in Nashville. So just let me know if you want some help/advice/etc. Love you girls.
check out my blog http://gidgetgoeshome.com if you haven't already to see my attempts at something a little similar.
