Low effort, simple, reusable bathroom changes for seasons. I don’t want a lot of stuff or things to dust so I like to use “big impact” seasonal changes. I change the rug, the soap dispenser, and the towel, plus the picture frame inserts. Soap dispensers are from @heb and I refill them from a big…

Yard Signs as Shelf Liners
Zero Waste Block Leader Idea: Collect yard signs of any kind on your porch, patio or at your front door and allow neighbors to take some if they want them. We can take them to the Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center – these cannot go in your blue carts, to be recycled and sometimes creative…
My wool& Dress 3 Years Later
This is still my favorite way to wear my black Sierra wool& dress three years later! I grew up in a uniform jumper with a shirt under it so I really enjoy this dress/shirt combination. At the time my school plaid was navy and dark green. I love red and black together. In elementary school…
Reuse: An Oven Tray as a Trivet
Reuse an oven tray as a trivet. This oven rack is from three toaster ovens ago but it has feet so I kept as an excellent trivet for muffins and cupcakes to cool off. The feet raise the rack up to allow air to circulate under the muffins and cool the bottom down. This post…
Refillable/Reusable Picture Frames
These are some of my favorite frames to us around the house. For some reason a lot of my coloring sheets, I love to color sheets with pencils, end up being squares. I like to hang up my own art and my family’s art around the house rather than prints and paintings, though I do…
Buy Nothing Give: Nap Mat for Kinder
My son is going into 1st grade next month so we don’t need our nap mat anymore. I tried keeping it around to use in building forts and such but he didn’t use it so we both agreed to post it on Buy Nothing. I actually didn’t have any parents who wanted it. A grandmother…

Pollinator Day in Mueller! This was the 3rd Annual Pollinator Day which occurs the Friday before Earth Day. This was my second year tabling. I was asked to focus on Planet vs. Plastics, the international Earth Month theme and since I knew that when I made my new board for the Care of Creation Fair,…
Care of Creation Fair April 13, 2024
Earth Month y’all! Woo! I’m behind on posting content because I was running and driving all over the place for zero waste, school and church. Woo! So one of the coolest things I got to participate in this month was the 2nd Annual Care of Creation Fair at Triumphant Love Lutheran Church (TLLC) on Saturday…
Eclipse Glasses
Wondering what to do with your solar eclipse glasses? The City of Austin (Texas) will set up collection boxes through April 26 at all Austin Public Library locations and City of Austin Community Recreation Center locations. Astronomers Without Borders will then redistribute the glasses so others can have a safe way to view a future…
Reuse: Those Elastics
I tend to keep all those ribbons, elastics, strings and such that come from gifts and may come in handy. Now, that can get to be a bit much so I do cull it out when my sewing box gets too full, but generally I have several types. My son made two of the energy…
