I found silicone lids for my 11 cup Pyrex! They are a bit tight but I’m hoping they’ll stretch out a bit. After 11 years of top-shelf in the dishwasher and hand washing, the edges are chipping on my original plastic lids. The cracked plastic lid can be recycled in blue/single-stream cars. Mine is going…
I’m sharing my fall seasonal Indigenous Box. I gotta share before my winter box arrives today! I like to support small businesses particularly those that are BIPOC/HUB/SMBR (I’m a purchaser/contract administrator by profession). This box came with an assortment of indigenous/native products curated by a small indigenous company in Canada. It’s a great way to…
I got a little @blackpearlbooks treat for myself. I’m so excited to get the last copy of The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer! It’s the same author as Braiding Sweetgrass. If you don’t live in Austin, find your local bookstores and check their inventory or call them. Most bookstores have an online shop you can…
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…

I just fell in love with the concept of doing something with these and I finally found some at The…
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…
Stock containers, soy milk, and some alternative milks, these mixed material containers: composite, these go in the trash. If you can find glass or plastic those are going to be recyclable but these cartons go in the trash can. If you’re unsure: milk cartons, the square ones, they also go in the trash can. They’re…
Happy National Bird Day! What’s your favorite bird? I like cardinals and painted buntings. I also love a good turkey in the fall for decor. #birds#wings#NationalBirdDay#nationalbirdday Pink bracelet is 4oceans Flamingo bracelet, native to Florida. Solid orange bracelet is 4Ocean’s Albatross bracelet. Learning about albatross birds and all the plastic they ingest is what really…
For my book people. My car is getting stickers. I would have been a librarian in my other life. https://www.etsy.com/shop/SprinklesStudios @sprinklesstudios #smallbusiness#books#ilovebooks#etsy @etsy #librarylove#librarygirlie#publiclibrary
Took a few things over to Goodwill today which was the same location that I got my favorite boots and jeans! So comfy and I feel pretty cool. #goodwill#giveback#donate#clearingout#thriftfinds#thrift#secondhand#jeans#boots
