This is all so exciting!
Late in August, we scrapped the family cars and started a blog. Then the blog started getting some traffic and regular readers. As the family adjusted to the new lifestyle, we came to realize that we were not strictly car-free but more of a conscientious car user. Since late August, we've used Zipcar a few times, a taxi, rented a car, taken buses, walked, and of course ridden many miles on bikes.
With the evolving family lifestyle, the blog needed a bit of an update so we had a little contest to rename the blog. A reader in Seattle sent in the winning entry. http://carfreeinannarbor.blogspot.com/2010/11/we-have-winner.html The Seattle Reader has received the bars and said that she was enjoying them. See bars here http://carfreeinannarbor.blogspot.com/2010/11/cranbery-white-chocolate-pecan-oat-bars.html
With a new name in the works, I once again asked my very talented daughter to design another blog banner for me. The child is a wonder - so creative and adept at multi-media arts. This past Spring, she won first place in a Peeps photo contest with a photo called Napoleon Bona-Peep. Two years ago she won second place in a local graffiti spray paint contest. Kathrin also made this video shortly after we started this car-less thing http://carfreeinannarbor.blogspot.com/2010/10/car-free-adventure-as-interpreted.html
If you are interested in having Kathrin prepare some multi-media artwok for you, leave your contact information in the comment section below and I will pass it on to her.
