Let glass go. Don’t stockpile glass for reuse or collect, especially if you don’t or won’t actually reuse it. If you just keep moving your stash around it’s not helping you but it could help someone else. It makes me sad and frustrated to see “zero waste” or “sustainable” influencers pull out tubs, bins or…
The first time I saw a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) I thought it was a headband. I told the little girl I loved her headband (purple & pink!) and her mom told me it was a hearing aid. I had no idea! My son goes to a school for kids with speech, language and…
Pencil shavings go in the trash. The color on the outside is paint. Don’t compost them. #pencils#pencilsharpener#trash#paint#schoolsupplies#art#artsupplies
This is bath time for real. There’s metal, there’s plastic, there’s silicone, there’s bubbles and fun. That is how it is. We can have goals, we can have hopes, and then there is reality. How much we impose our adult will on the situation is up to us and how we feel. Some days it’s…
The kids Korean and foreign language section at Recycled Reads by the Austin Public Library is amazing! This seems like a great selection and availability to me, but let me know your thoughts!

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 just finished two major collection drives with my neighbors and church. 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…
I updated my turkeys to be historically accurate this year. It turns out that the settlers we now call Pilgrims, first of all did not call themselves that, and secondly did not wear the tall hat with a buckle we have come to associate and include on all Thanksgiving decorations. Why do we do that…
