Just ask around. My son’s old play masks are going to his drama teacher and these neck ties from a declutter client are going to the Art and Drama departments to share. We finally received the two secondhand sewing machines Art had been asking for so they can sew or weave the ties. I don’t…
My attempts to remove what appears to be laser engraving on this glass did not work. I found this glass at a client’s house today when we were decluttering. It’s going to be a great water cup for the bathroom! Someone shared on my TikTok that it is engraved and there would be a whole…
Binders melt in the attic. Please don’t store binders anywhere non-air-conditioned. Don’t store them in the attic, the garage, shed, where they will melt and rust. The stickers will get gooky and creatures will poop on them. The rings will rust. Keep one or two on hand and then put the rest out in circulation…
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie from the Netflix Halloween episode. Shown are Pig, Mouse, Moose and Cat, my version. We had Pig (Piggy), Mouse, and Cat (Bartley from True and the Rainbow Kingdom and yes I know ours is pink and not black). I found Mouse at Sprouts this fall season. We realized…
School trinkets, party favors, and odds and ends are great to add to your trick-or-treat bucket! Don’t forget to add stickers, pencils, bracelets, pretzels, and other non-sweet treats.

Ants on a log, our version. We use carrots and today I had black (raisin) and red (craisin) ants. My son isn’t a big plain raisin guy but he’ll eat them as ants. #kids#kidfood#antsonalog#raisins#craisins

If your place of worship has a disability assistance ministry, or you work for a group that accepts and rehomes used items like wheelchairs, special bedding, medical machines etc., will you please reach out to me? I need some reliable consistent places to rehome these items. Thanks! #rehome #reuse #disabilitysupport #neighborshelpingneighbors #zerowaste
This is our thrifted costume for Book Character Friday. My son chose to be Oliver with Mouse from “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” so made their outfits. He used his own navy shorts form school instead of jeans (he doesn’t like jeans and it was too hot for pants) and I planned to…
National Apple Day! How do you apple? We like slices and I like applesauce. About once a year I’ll make an apple pie. This is a pretty standard snack for my son at school. An apple, this one is Honeycrisp though he also enjoys Galas, and a homemade muffin. This muffin happens to be pumpkin…
Card tables are so sturdy, and they have so many uses, that it’s really easy to rehome even if they’re decades old. Older churches and garages tend to have a few of these laying around. Spiders love them so I definitely encourage you to rehome them and keep them clean. I personally use two when…
