Library Haul today! Food is always interesting in our house: how to reduce waste, eat healthier, food as fuel, etc. Our neighborhood hosts a big Eid event so I’m working on learning and explaining more about it, especially to my 7 year old. He’s also on spring break so he’s doing a lot of building…
I found a seam ripper! Austin Creative Reuse had a seam ripper! I broke mine trying to remove handles from luggage. They also had all three colors of thread I wanted for mending. I walked around and looked at everything for ideas for Easter basket egg filler and basket filler. I will use the ribbon…
Sharing is caring! I don’t purchase items for my videos or posts. It either comes into my spheres naturally or I will ask my neighbors or my Buy Nothing group to get something that I’m getting questions about or dealing with. I have gotten rid of a lot of things over the years and so…
It’s St. Patrick’s Day today. Make sure to reuse your green! Reuse green that you already have for St. Patrick’s Day, don’t buy new.

More sheets and jeans to Austin Wildlife Rescue from my neighbors/family. I’m also excited to share AWF started selling their shirts and kids’ workbook along with stickers at their drop-off center on MLK if you would like to support them locally when you make a dropoff of supplies or animal. One of the opportunities I…
My son was so excited to find these baskets for me! Wash your baskets, especially ones that are new to you and are from second hand or thrift stores. Even from other people you know. Just wash things that are new to you to clear out dust, animal dander, etc. This is the super dark…
Don’t hide what sparks joy for you! I’m going to do a little Marie Kondo today. I fell in love with this butterfly hair clip my son picked out from @okasanvintage. It’s too pretty to keep in a drawer when not in use so I actually keep her on my towel rack until I need…
