These are some of my favorite frames to us around the house. For some reason a lot of my coloring sheets, I love to color sheets with pencils, end up being squares. I like to hang up my own art and my family’s art around the house rather than prints and paintings, though I do…
I’m catching up on blogging with reusable dishes! I’m having a green tea matcha latte and lemon bread at Brentwood Social House blogging this morning. They wash the dishes and I will compost my napkin at home. This is a great local place to get coffee, tea and food. It’s near my son’s school and…
Attending a pizza party? Bag up the boxes and compost them! Austin Recycles will pick up lawn and leaf bags of pizza boxes for you with your curbside compost and the bags are a great way to bring them home. They fit in a passenger seat or the trunk very well. I can fit about…
Here’s your candy/Halloween quick tip sheet: Candy bags go in the trash. This is the big bag that all the little candy comes in. There is usually a No Plastic Bag How2Recycle label on the back.

We’re being green! One of the projects I received approval for was to create a recycling station at church. Through our normally scheduled activities I noticed we were creating plastic bag and film waste, as well as Styrofoam waste, and as part of my decluttering efforts I was finding old and corroded batteries stashed all…
If you have the option and ability, a fresh pineapple is going to be cheaper and greener to process than a precut one in a plastic container. I have found that using a great bread knife works the best. Here’s what I do. Grab your kitchen compost collector because there will be a lot to…
Day 6 of Plastic Free July was Avoid Pre-Packaged Produce. This focuses on buying loose or bulk produce instead of plastic-bagged produce. It also encourages you to avoid using plastic produce bags. Personally I would like it if we even avoided using single-use compost bags or paper bags for produce when there are reusable cotton and…
