An Introduction

My husband and I made changes to our lifestyle and finances after the arrival of our only child; it is a continuing evolution of "small change" that we hope will add up for the greater good of the planet and thus a better world for her to inherit; hence the name for this blog. And so, thanks to my friend, CountryGirl's encouragement, I have morphed into CityGirl and will be reporting from (as she affectionately refers to it) my Urban Homestead for anyone who is interested in alternative energy, energy conservation and various other topics in making ends meet with limited resources.
