Dryer Lint is Trash: It’s Mostly Plastic
Dryer lint goes in the trash. Most of our fabric contains polyester, which is plastic, and therefore should not be put in compost systems and therefore used on plants and our food. Clean your lint trap before/after every load for higher efficiency and safer drying. #lint#dryerlint#trash#dontcompost#polyester#plastic#laundry#laundrytips
DIY: Water Heater Igniter Replacement
Super proud of my husband this morning who replaced the igniter on our water heater. Thank you internet. I’m also grateful for my time at Building Services at the City of Austin so I could direct him to a local Granger for the part. Austin has two locations if you need something local like this.…

Comadre Panaderia: Austin Bakery Austin Flour
Early birthday present for me from Comandre Panaderia! So delicious and they use Barton Springs Mill flour, our favorite! This is our second visit and hubby grabbed everything we hadn’t tried the first time. Our 7 year old’s favorite is the red berry concha. I can’t pick a favorite, it’s all great!

Maternity Belt: Keep Things Moving Along
I found my maternity belt / belly band in the back of the laundry room cabinet. This is 7 years after I had my son… This is your reminder to go through your things at least once a year and move them along to someone who can use them as soon as possible, both to…
Homemade Peanut Butter Cups: NO Palm Oil
I made my own peanut butter cups! All store peanut butter cups have palm oil in them and that’s neither healthy for humans or the orangutans’ habitats that are destroyed for palm oil production. Heads up most baked or prepackaged goods at chain stores have palm oil in them. It seems to be in everything……
Silicone Pyrex Lid Replacment
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…
Indigenous Box: Seasonal Discovery Box – Fall 2024
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…
Shop Local: Black Pearl Books 01/16/25
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…
