Making bread today. My husband created a recipe that really works for us so we’ve stopped buying grocery store bread and I make this. We all love it and my 8 year old lives to help. Recipe: 240g flour 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 2 tsp yeast 1 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon…
Our Adams Creamy Natural Peanut Butter from Smuckers unboxing. When I made this video it really hit home how much packaging this is. I wish my HEB had not stopped selling this peanut butter that we really like that comes in a glass jar with a metal lid because having it shipped is a lot…
Peaches, Cherries, Apricots oh my! Reuse/Recycle your fruit box Trash the plastic cupping paper. It’s not soft enough to recycle at a plastic bag station and not hard enough for the recycling carts. Eat your fruit, compost or share with critters. #peaches#nectarines#cherries#stonefruit#sustainability#zerowaste#recycleright #CostCo
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. NOTE on the Featured Image: The exterior crack does not affect the cooling aspect of the example cooler so we still use this cooler. TIP: I do not recommend…

Berry baskets can be recycled. Trash the pad. Rinse and dry the container. I get this question fairly often so I hope this helps and please share this information. 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.…

A little step, a little more forward, maybe a little backwards, but keeping the goal in mind. I did buy a single use juice bottle today, I did ingest. Microplastics, I did take it home to recycle. I am not strong all the time. It’s a process… #babysteps#inprogress#juice#microplastics#noglassbottle#plasticbottles
Strawberry Smoothie experience. This is what works for my son and we can control the ingredients and materials of his smoothie. We also can choose greener products that are recyclable. We are using a Miir cup here, but reusable silicone food pouches also work great with this smoothie recipe. Can you tell we like Costco?!…
