Buy Nothing Fail: Chicken Decor
I was hoping someone would love this guy the way I did but no takers on Buy Nothing. I fell in love with this stuffed chicken at first sight on an Instagram post for a local country primitive store. It was handmade and the cutest thing! Now I’m not really much of a chicken person.…

Posted on Author TaylorPosted in About, Children, Crafts/Office/School/Meetings, Products, Places & ReviewsLeave a Reply
This is not an ad or sponsorship. I ordered this for my son years ago in response to mail or email I received. “The baby book, reimagined.” I loved the line on this for my son. We have tons of photos and videos, but how do you capture the cute things he says or some…
Buy Nothing Success: Dryer Balls, Almost Snowballs
🫳Buy Nothing Success: Dry Balls. These were never a big game changer for me so they just sat in the laundry room cabinet for 8 years. So I offered them up and someone was excited to give them a try for free! They are supposed to help with fluffing and they’re 100% wool but not…

Preschool Tip: Pip-Squeaks Washable Markers
Pipsqueaks are great for preschool kids learning to write. The shorter length is easier for them to learn proper grip and control.

Recycle Torn Window Screens From Hail Damage
Recycle Window Screens if you can’t repair them. There are repair kits for screens at hardware stores you can get if you have a small spot or a few. My screen was busted so I recycled the thing. If it’s difficult for you to repair or have time to repair, ask around if a neighbor…
Corks for Pollinators: Floats for Bird Baths
Water for wildlife, especially pollinators! Reuse wine corks or bottle lids for floats in your birdbath and a birdbath can be a bowl or plate on some kind of stand, it doesn’t have to be officially a birdbath. Rethink items. This way bugs can float and not slip/ drown. Thinkery, the Austin children’s museum, DOES…

Plastic Coolers can’t recycled so please take care of them, donate or share them if you aren’t using them, and keep them maintained and in use.

Buy Nothing Give Success: Coins
Posted on Author TaylorPosted in About, Outdoors, Products, Places & Reviews, Reusable, Zero WasteLeave a Reply
I’ve had two sets of coins from other countries to rehome this month, a few from Canada that I after-the-fact recalled were from my in-laws and a few from Africa for a neighbor of mine that isn’t online. Both went very quickly and had several interests. I have no plans to go to these countries…
