Happy Mardi Gras! I grew up in Louisiana so we celebrate Mardi Gras. According to Wikipedia, “Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday”, reflecting the practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual Lenten sacrifices and fasting of the Lenten season.” There are a lot of parades, food and trinkets…

Our family goes for walks on the weekends around my neighborhood. Since I received my 4ocean Cleanup Kit with trash tongs for my birthday, it’s really motivated my four year old son and husband to pick up trash as we walk. I share some of our finds on my Instagram and Facebook pages and I’ll…

Wire Hangers

Posted on February 13, 2022February 16, 2022Author TaylorPosted in Crafts/Office/School/Meetings, Metals, Recycling, ReusableLeave a Reply

Take wire hangers back to the dry cleaners or find a local one near you. They always appreciate those (reuse is free to the business and allows them to save money) and many places will have a collection bin out by the counter. Charity clothing closets are another option but call ahead both to see if…
