House clean out for Austin Creative Reuse and Goodwill Central Texas. I did find the keyboard that was lost, and I found a whole bunch of other things. As I’ve mentioned it’s not new stuff. It’s just stuff that I’m seeing with new eyes and ready to move along. A lot of it’s craft and…
Kid kickboard foam can be recycled. If your kid also uses their kickboard as a shield or a battering ram and it gets broken, tear the polyester fabric off and trash it. The Styrofoam can be recycled at the Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center or your Ridwell Styrofoam collection bag. If you aren’t in Austin…
Liquid hand soap: refills all the way! If you choose to use liquid hand soap, find one you like that sells refills too. Refills are going to be more cost effective and save material in the long run. Bar soap in general tends to be more zero waste overall even if you get one shrink…
Please clean/wash the pads if you can. Car seats expire so check the expiration date. I collect these to recycle if they’re expired for the Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center in Austin or to take to @safeatx women’s shelter if they’re in good condition. If you shop at Target, their annual car seat recycling program…
Processing kids’ crafts. There are so many different types of materials that kids use in crafts and projects. Let’s work on a few. Also, it’s okay to process you kids’ art. You can’t keep all of it.

Please do not buy confetti balloons. If you must, please do not pop them outside. If you pop them outside, do not do it on a windy day and pickup/vacuum all the confetti. I did a campus cleanup at my son’s school last month and I was still finding confetti in the grass four months…
Sharing my book haul from Birdhouse Books and Gifts. My son had two on his list that he wanted from his book field trip last week and then of course I always grab more for him and for me. Abby has a lot of puzzles for kids and adults in her store so make sure…

I tried something new recently! I went to Bella Beauty College for a hair trim by one of their cosmetology students. Can’t tell the difference, good! They cleaned up 2 inches of split ends and layers from growing my hair out the last year and a half. It’s nice to not have tangly hair. If…
