Refusing, Reducing, Reusing, & Recycling

July 6, 2011

So it wasn’t until recently that I realized that there is another “R” when it comes to reducing waste. We all know the big three- reduce, reuse, and recycle, but I also recognize now that refuse is another one- and potentially it’s even the most important! I think this is the case because you can [...]

Dandelions Not Just Weeds

June 15, 2011

So you may have a few of these yellow beauties (yes, hear me out! :) ) popping up in your lawn or field so I thought I’d share a few things that you might not know about dandelions. First, and foremost, my grandmother used to make an amazing dandelion jelly. Who would have thought, right? [...]

May 26, 2011

If you ask my husband what my number one pet peeve is, he’ll definitely tell you it’s wearing shoes in the house. I literally *cringe* when it happens and have gotten to the point where I mostly don’t mind asking people to take them off. Now I’m not super picky about a spot free, disinfected [...]

ChicoBag Produce Bags Review

May 14, 2011

I decided to purchase this set of 3 reusable ChicoBags (produce bags) a couple of months ago on Amazon and I couldn’t be happier with them so far. They roll up into the cute little sleeves that you see above, but are actually 16″ x 12.5″ each and hold a lot of food! They are [...]

Cleaning TOMS Shoes

May 12, 2011

So if you own a pair of TOMS, you know that they are pretty cool, but also pretty smelly even if you don’t generally have super stinky feet (and especially if you walk in any water). TOMS are meant to be worn without socks and comfortable enough to wear all the time, but can thus [...]

Reusable Swiffer Wipes

May 10, 2011

Although I don’t usually like showing off my household dirt, I just had to share how great my reusable swiffer wipe works. I purchased it last year at a local artisan’s market for about $5 and it not only picks up everything on the floor extremely well, but also washes out like new every time. [...]
