Sustainable living that's easy on the planet, easy on your budget, easy to do.
I have been wanting to write about this for a year! In January of 2021, I had just finished watching Down to Earth with Zac Efron and Darin Olien. A docuseries about the amazing communities and countries that are working to better the environment, it shows that there are ways to improve your health all … Continue reading My AHA Moment
Note: I first wrote this post last year before COVID-19 hit. I was ready to share it when the world paused and no one knew what was going to happen. Sara's business is back up and running just like it was before. She has confirmed that the only changes from pre-Coronavirus are: the licensed kitchen … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping III (Lady Sara’s Bounty Review)
Tell me this. Why in the heck do you want a ginormous, 3-foot, stuffed in polyester, synthetic crap bear with a stitched on giant red heart? Like, really, I ask you. What are you going to do with it? Let's keep this Valentine's Day beating its green heart with some really basic choices, and show … Continue reading Show The Planet Some Love On Valentine’s
Walking through a conventional grocery store sometimes brings me angst. I am surrounded by plastic. Have you actually stopped and looked around? Excluding the produce section (but ignoring the flimsy, dolphin-choking produce bags in that section), any aisle you're in is almost plastered by, in and with plastic. Picture the baking aisle: baking powder, cinnamon, … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping II (Zerocery review)
The last blog I posted was a big, long post. It was on sustainable grocery shopping. So I thought it was good to send out a simple post to my readers about a quick, easy tip. One tip that could be done as soon as you're done reading this post. How often do you take … Continue reading Pitcher Perfect
You guys asked for it. Here it is. A Day In The Life series post on grocery shopping. And it's a doozy. This is my longest post yet. But really, grocery shopping isn't a little task on life's to-do list. We do it each and every week. Bleh. If there was one adulting duty I … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Grocery Shopping
Weather's cooling down, and it's so nice. I love layering up, yet still wearing my Birkenstocks. I look forward to those hot morning cups of coffee a little more. In the daytime I still have the windows open because the air smells so fresh and it feels so crisp. The house can cool down pretty … Continue reading Cool Weather? Turn Up The (oven) Heat
Halloween is one of the cutest holidays ever. Newborns in little skeleton onesies. Toddlers in one-piece animal suits. Kiddos emanating childhood dreams through costumes. And for me, this holiday is one of my faves: chocolate bonanzas, carving pumpkins, Ghostbusters on TV on repeat, Hallmark Channel movie sets at fall fairs and corn fields. Just things … Continue reading Halloween Is Scarier Than You Think
I love simple therapeutic pleasures. One of them is movies. God, I cannot get enough of movies. Good or bad. And I am happier when I have added a cold glass of local beer to that experience. Salty goods and pizza are my weaknesses. But I get a real kick from writing, especially this blog. … Continue reading A Day In The Life: Bulk Refill Pantry Shopping
By now most of you know how I feel about plastic. You know the emoji that looks unamused. Just add that guy to any instance where I see one-time, single-use plastic. It's rare when I don't bring my own reusable containers and bags. When I forget (or think I won't need one) I end up … Continue reading A (repurposed) Paper Bag A Day Keeps The Plastic Away
