Sharing the first trip of the year to the recycling center! So much holiday styrofoam from neighbors from gifts and end of year clean outs! I could not fit it all in one trip and will have to make a second one. Austin Recycles #atxrecycles #styrofoam #recyclestyrofoam #lesslanddill #zerowasteblockleader #zerowaste This is my haul below.…
Let glass go. Don’t stockpile glass for reuse or collect, especially if you don’t or won’t actually reuse it. If you just keep moving your stash around it’s not helping you but it could help someone else. It makes me sad and frustrated to see “zero waste” or “sustainable” influencers pull out tubs, bins or…
The first time I saw a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) I thought it was a headband. I told the little girl I loved her headband (purple & pink!) and her mom told me it was a hearing aid. I had no idea! My son goes to a school for kids with speech, language and…

This is bath time for real. There’s metal, there’s plastic, there’s silicone, there’s bubbles and fun. That is how it is. We can have goals, we can have hopes, and then there is reality. How much we impose our adult will on the situation is up to us and how we feel. Some days it’s…

With my new @myfahlo bracelet I can follow and support Braveheart who is an endangered Megallanic penguin. This bracelet supports the @globalpenguinsociety to monitor her well-being and her chicks. I chose a penguin, and I tend to go for traditional colors, because it’s a thing in my family that we love Penguins of Madagascar especially…
Journaling outside. If we don’t slow down to enjoy nature, creation, then what are we working to help and save? It’s been so long since I was this calm and quiet. Many thanks to @emmalrobles for the inspiration. How gorgeous is this fluffy ground cover that took over the yard? It grouped around the stepping…
The kids Korean and foreign language section at Recycled Reads by the Austin Public Library is amazing! This seems like a great selection and availability to me, but let me know your thoughts! This is such a fun bookstore and the prices here are just ridiculous! It’s another wonderful way to keep these books out…
