Emptying the bathroom trash and compost cups into the kitchen bins. I’ve reused yogurt tubs and labeled them. There’s one in each bathroom. The science shows that the larger bin we have, the more we’re inclined to fill it up. So if we start with small and in theory we would make less waste. Note:…
Reusing Kids Writing Equipment for Adults Chalkboard is great for meal planning and fever/med tracking. Magna Doodle is great for example writing for kids to follow for things like birthday cards. It’s also helpful for word comparisons when learning to read. #kids#writing#kitchentips #learningwithouttears#magnadoodle#reuse#rethink#fever#momlife

Wire Hangers/Dry Cleaners: Take your wire hangers back to the dry cleaner you got them from as soon as possible so as not to stockpile them. Most dry cleaners are full of hangers and seem to only want their brand. If you can’t find a local dry cleaner that won’t take them back, find recycling…

Photo drop from Austin Creative Reuse today! They take so much stuff! Some of the things I’m working on rehoming for someone right now include quilts, lace, tablecloths, doilies and other crocheted material, greeting cards and stationery and probably a major office clean out.

🫳Buy Nothing Success: Dry Balls. These were never a big game changer for me so they just sat in the laundry room cabinet for 8 years. So I offered them up and someone was excited to give them a try for free! They are supposed to help with fluffing and they’re 100% wool but not…
