My fancy blues: @popfizzcheers and @mimisorigamis. I finally found a gorgeous blue headband by my favorite headband maker and always love my Mimi’s Origami crane earrings that are multicolored. My head is larger than a lot of people so a lot of headbands are tight and uncomfortable, even give me headaches, but not PopFizzCheers! These are the most…

I have winter updates to my reusable picture frames! I finally figured out what I wanted to do. This is my kitchen counter update. I found a beautiful greeting card from Joy Gift Shoppe, a local Austin gift shop that recently moved to Kerby Lane. I mounted it on a 12 x 12 scrapbook paper…

I collected shoes and boots to donate to the Austin Disaster Relief Network for Hurricane Helene survivors and towels for the babies at Austin Wildlife Rescue! We collected 14 grocery bags of shoes and 8 garbage bags of towels and sheets! Collections are…

These sea turtles from Wild Republic are made from recycled plastic water bottles. Our family does not…

This was also a good stack for the pumpkin patch field trip and #wearorangeday (there are at least two of these: one for gun violence and one for…
We’re being green! One of the projects I received approval for was to create a recycling station at church. Through our normally scheduled activities I noticed we were creating plastic bag and film waste, as well as Styrofoam waste, and as part of my decluttering efforts I was finding old and corroded batteries stashed all…
