My son had workbooks leftover from last school year. We did some of them during the summer but not much. I posted these on my local Buy Nothing Project Facebook group and someone asked for them. There are a lot of homeschool families, or just parents that want to offer extra help and lessons. You…
Does anyone else thing of Mater when they use the word “Modify!” I’m cutting down yard signs from one style to another, so instead of a milk-carton sleeve they fit the corrugated plastic signs.

Medals and Awards: Less is more. Not only are more impactful rewards going to mean more, there’s also less waste created by making so many rewards and awards for absolutely everything. If you must use paper certificates and work hard on the animation. Austin Creative Reuse is one of the few places and ways I’m…
Geode smashing is a fun and easy way to entertain my son! We went to Nature’s Treasures for the geodes at his request and we already had the hammers, safety glasses and ear muffler. He did end up really getting into it so I had him put on my rain boots to protect his legs…

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…
I’m posted candles in my local Buy Nothing group. I’m helping a neighbor downsize and they had all these candles… Luckily I checked the list at Austin Creative Reuse and they Do Not accept candles. I imagine they get so many because there are a lot of people that end up in this situation. I…
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…
Shredding is available at UPS! I am so excited to share that at least at my local UPS in Austin, they have partnered with Iron Mountain and now offer secure shredding for $1 a pound. It all gets recycled too! Recycle your broken shredder at your local Goodwill, Best Buy or recycling center. Donate you’re…
