Pipsqueaks are great for preschool kids learning to write. The shorter length is easier for them to learn proper grip and control. Check with your neighbors if they may either need yours, or if you want some from your neighbors. Our school supplies get sent home every year and these are what my son was…
Water for wildlife, especially pollinators! Reuse wine corks or bottle lids for floats in your birdbath and a birdbath can be a bowl or plate on some kind of stand, it doesn’t have to be officially a birdbath. Rethink items.

I’ve had two sets of coins from other countries to rehome this month, a few from Canada that I after-the-fact recalled were from my in-laws and a few from Africa for a neighbor of mine that isn’t online. Both went very quickly and had several interests. I have no plans to go to these countries…

Encyclopedias re-homed! @buynothingproject saves the day again! I’m helping a neighbor to downsize their home and declutter and one of the things they needed to rehome was a 1976 set of Encyclopedias. Now as far as my neighbor, her friend the original owner of the books, and myself new, people just used these to cut…
Lotion from home in a glass bottle is going to be greener than a travel tube, any tube, or a pump. I found a small glass jar at the Guadalupe @wheatsville location. There are plastic jars at @naturalgrocers if you want something smaller, and lighter, but they are plastic. My grocery store doesn’t have anything…
4 used crates for the Austin Zoo! The Zoo is all rescued animals and accepts retired and surrendered animals. I love that I can help them, and so does my son! This also helps neighbors clean out their garages and houses! Both sides win and I get to have an outdoor experience with my son!…
Keep it or move it along, which type are you? Do you hold onto things until the ideal person or organization comes along to donate too or do you need it out of the house? Do you drive a little farther for an organization that is more ideal for your donations or that will treat…
