I just finished two major collection drives with my neighbors and church. I collected shoes and boots to donate to the Austin Disaster Relief Network for Hurricane Helene survivors and towels for the babies at Austin Wildlife Rescue! We collected 14 grocery bags of shoes and 8 garbage bags of towels and sheets! Collections are…
Here we are acorn collecting for our new stuffy, Squirrely. He’s a gray squirrel from local shop Nature’s Treasures. Squirrely is a stuffed animal made from recycled bottles from Wild Republic. Squirrely needed dinner and I wanted an outside activity for us to do together. I’m working on getting us outside more for our eyesight,…
Library visit! So much good stuff at the Southeast Branch Austin Public Library! This location has an enormous Spanish section and large kids area. It’s also bri ght and has a large equitable focus! I usually grab the featured books for my son that the library puts out and my 7 year old is loving everything…
Meet my new earrings made from upcycled cereal boxes! These are from Jabebo Studio. I have Wild Turkeys and the 12 Days of Christmas here in the featured photo plus their Red Foxes. The two Christmas earrings are four birds calling on a landline phone with a cord and a partridge in a pear tree!…

I’m starting Outfit of the Day videos and photos, #OOTD, and I hope it helps you with the decisions and choices you make, or to consider why you make the choices that you do! Sometimes we have the option to choose between fabrics, materials, local or corporate, and sometimes we just get what we get…
Low effort, simple, reusable bathroom changes for seasons. I don’t want a lot of stuff or things to dust so I like to use “big impact” seasonal changes. I change the rug, the soap dispenser, and the towel, plus the picture frame inserts. Soap dispensers are from @heb and I refill them from a big…
Zero Waste Block Leader Idea: Collect yard signs of any kind on your porch, patio or at your front door and allow neighbors to take some if they want them. We can take them to the Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center – these cannot go in your blue carts, to be recycled and sometimes creative…
This is still my favorite way to wear my black Sierra wool& dress three years later! I grew up in a uniform jumper with a shirt under it so I really enjoy this dress/shirt combination. At the time my school plaid was navy and dark green. I love red and black together. In elementary school…
