If you support something with color, don’t forget to layer. I had a school field trip (red) on the same day as a Thursday in Black, and it was cold. I chose to layer shirts, but I could have also used my Thursdays in Black button or scarf to have my black on. Thursdays in…
Gift cards are the way we go for birthdays. My son has a birthday party today and we give gift cards so kids can get what they want, and we support a local business that the birthday family might not have explored before. We went to Terra Toys this week to get the gift card…
I swap out books on my vintage brass napkin holders as the season or holiday comes up. Here we’re going from Halloween to Fall. I love the idea of using these vintage napkin or letter holders for this. I got the idea years ago from maybe an influencer using an IKEA product? I’m not sure…
Happy Kwanzaa if you celebrate! Let’s do a book swap! I use these vintage brass napkin/envelope holders as shelves to display seasonal and holiday books. I switched our Christmas books: Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies’ Christmas Book, and Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast Who Donut for Kwanzaa books: Together for Kwanzaa and The Seven Days…

I tried to rehome these hooks my best friend, a professional organizer, came across in her work. Buy Nothing Post: Give: 3 chrome double hook hooks One like but no Comments or takers after several months, during the summer. Well it turns out that my son’s school has these things, all types of double hooks…
A neighbor asked what to do with Greenlight air pillows so I sent in the question to Austin Resource Recovery since I wasn’t sure with the conflicting packaging information. The bags say “Bio” but then they also have a #2 on them. They say they are designed to biodegrade. I asked if these can these…
ISO Disability Ministries. If your place of worship has a disability assistance ministry, or you work for a group that accepts and rehomes used items like wheelchairs, special bedding, medical machines etc., will you please reach out to me? I need some reliable consistent places to rehome these items. Thanks! #rehome #reuse #disabilitysupport #neighborshelpingneighbors #zerowaste
Let’s remember what we’re saving. We went on a family nature walk using Austin Wildlife Rescue‘s Junior Wildlife Rescuer Activity Book. I pulled out the Neighborhood Bingo, put it on a clipboard, my son picked out his marker, and off we went. Firey, the Red Frilled-Neck Lizard came along. This is a great way to…
