Cleaned out my spice drawer! Most spices expire max 4 years and some sooner than that. Only vanilla extract and salt are infinite. Compost old spices and recycle or trash the packaging as appropriate. If you went all in on spices during covid, it’s been about 4 years since the height of covid and so…
More sheets and jeans to Austin Wildlife Rescue from my neighbors/family. I’m also excited to share AWF started selling their shirts and kids’ workbook along with stickers at their drop-off center on MLK if you would like to support them locally when you make a dropoff of supplies or animal. One of the opportunities I…

Dryer lint goes in the trash. Most of our fabric contains polyester, which is plastic, and therefore should not be put in compost systems and therefore used on plants and our food. Clean your lint trap before/after every load for higher efficiency and safer drying. #lint#dryerlint#trash#dontcompost#polyester#plastic#laundry#laundrytips
Super proud of my husband this morning who replaced the igniter on our water heater. Thank you internet. I’m also grateful for my time at Building Services at the City of Austin so I could direct him to a local Granger for the part. Austin has two locations if you need something local like this.…

Early birthday present for me from Comandre Panaderia! So delicious and they use Barton Springs Mill flour, our favorite! This is our second visit and hubby grabbed everything we hadn’t tried the first time. Our 7 year old’s favorite is the red berry concha. I can’t pick a favorite, it’s all great!

I found my maternity belt / belly band in the back of the laundry room cabinet. This is 7 years after I had my son… This is your reminder to go through your things at least once a year and move them along to someone who can use them as soon as possible, both to…
I made my own peanut butter cups! All store peanut butter cups have palm oil in them and that’s neither healthy for humans or the orangutans’ habitats that are destroyed for palm oil production. Heads up most baked or prepackaged goods at chain stores have palm oil in them. It seems to be in everything……
I found silicone lids for my 11 cup Pyrex! They are a bit tight but I’m hoping they’ll stretch out a bit. After 11 years of top-shelf in the dishwasher and hand washing, the edges are chipping on my original plastic lids. The cracked plastic lid can be recycled in blue/single-stream cars. Mine is going…
