Library visit! So much good stuff at the Southeast Branch Austin Public Library! This location has an enormous Spanish section and large kids area. It’s also bri ght and has a large equitable focus! I usually grab the featured books for my son that the library puts out and my 7 year old is loving everything…
Meet my new earrings made from upcycled cereal boxes! These are from Jabebo Studio. I have Wild Turkeys and the 12 Days of Christmas here in the featured photo plus their Red Foxes. The two Christmas earrings are four birds calling on a landline phone with a cord and a partridge in a pear tree!…
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…
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…

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…
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,…
