Gosh, there’s just so much going on this week; it’s going to be really tough to choose what we’ll be doing in addition to what’s already on our calendar! I know we are definitely going to Whole Foods Market today to show love and support for Jodi (owner of our CSA). And even though that Adventures of Eco-Man play will be a bit of a drive for us, we love going down to Hollywood Beach! I know some people refer to it as HollyWeird (how rude!) but I just say that it has a “colorful & charismatic crowd”! 
I love that most of these events are FREE, and as always, they all fit into Sofia’s Ideas on Simplicity, Frugality, and Frivolity… all with an Eco-Mentality!
What about you? What are your plans for the week?
