Working on Kept, My Son’s Childhood History Book
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. Check with your neighbors if they may either need yours, or if you want some from your neighbors. Our school supplies get sent home every year and these are what my son was…
Buy Nothing Give Success – Pill Holder
Buy Nothing Give Success – pill holder 8 years ago… How many of my stories are like this lately? This is from my pregnancy prep. The year before we intended to work on getting pregnant I started a big health and exercise regimen and I was on a lot of supplements. This definitely helped. I…

Berry boxes tend to be #1 clear plastic so most recycling providers/contractors will accept that color and number. Remember the chasing arrow () doesn’t mean recyclable.…
Re-Home Encyclopedias on Buy Nothing Project
Encyclopedias re-homed! @buynothingproject saves the day again! I’m helping a neighbor to downsize their home and declutter and one of the things they needed to rehome was a 1976 set of Encyclopedias. Now as far as my neighbor, her friend the original owner of the books, and myself new, people just used these to cut…
Little Jar for Lotion in Your Car/Purse/Bag
Lotion from home in a glass bottle is going to be greener than a travel tube, any tube, or a pump. I found a small glass jar at the Guadalupe @wheatsville location. There are plastic jars at @naturalgrocers if you want something smaller, and lighter, but they are plastic. My grocery store doesn’t have anything…
Mending our Handmade Pikachu
Doing a little mending tonight on Cute-achu. Make a little mending kit with the most popular colors that you wear so you can fix a seam or a button when you need to. Here’s a mending kit from HEB. Who has all these colors? Plus you have to process the packaging. I’d rather get more…
