Introduction	I am a work-at-home mom to two wonderful little boys. Since becoming a mother and quiting my job to raise my children, I have longed for the homestead life. 5 acres with horses, chickens, maybe a cow, a garden, and a home. Since that dream is still years down the road, I’m doing my best to institute the principals of living with the earth into the reality of my urban townhouse. I'm trying to raise my family to be conscious of the environment and the impact that our every day choices have on the health of our planet. Although I long ago replaced most disposable products in our home with reusable ones (diapers, paper towels, napkins, etc.) I had never found a suitable alternative for the sandwich baggie. Since I pack a lunch for my husband every day, and for me and the kids when ever we'll be out of the house over the lunch hour, I found myself going through a lot of plastic baggies, and I knew there had to be a better way. Thus was born: the WallabyBag. Until my husband graduates with his PhD, my homestead is in my heart.
