Great news! Graham cracker bags are now recyclable! The How2Recycle label on the bottom says to recycle when it’s clean and dry (hence my wet one since I rinsed out crumbs) at a store drop off for plastic bags recycling. Bag drop offs are usually at the front or right inside the door. Please don’t…
Earth Month y’all! Woo! I’m behind on posting content because I was running and driving all over the place for zero waste, school and church. Woo! So one of the coolest things I got to participate in this month was the 2nd Annual Care of Creation Fair at Triumphant Love Lutheran Church (TLLC) on Saturday…

If you’ve read my post RETHINK: Picture Frame Crafts & Replacements, you saw that I replaced some framed items with new inserts to update my son’s room into something…
Reuse: It’s been hot here in Texas, 113 today, and so I’ve been using my son’s swaddle blanket to cover the front seat the sun is shining on. These are great to keep in the car. My now 6 year old will use it as a blanket when he’s cold, as a swaddle for his…
