Sustainable living that's easy on the planet, easy on your budget, easy to do.
I cannot describe the newfound excitement for going to the loo. Going pee has become synonymous with joyride! I have two bathrooms. Each had a toilet. Those now have bidets, and I am having a blast telling everyone about them. (Be prepared for a few puns!) On top of being super eco-friendly, a bidet is … Continue reading Better Off With Bidets
Can we just admit that we don't need the gifts? C'mon... say it with me, "I do not need to buy presents." A few years ago my side of the family decided to end the gift-giving dance. It got to the point where I was giving someone a $50 gift card so that one person … Continue reading Give Up The Gifts
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)
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
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
Period. No, literally, periods are creating a damn mess of our planet. Well, not "the bleed", but rather those plastic-filled tampons and pads we use every month. According to the Women’s Environmental Network, “Tampons, pads and panty liners generate more than 200,000 tonnes of waste per year, and they all contain plastic – in fact, … Continue reading It’s A Bloody Disaster
I am in a stage of life right now where my holidays are local. We don't wander too far from home. With little kids, this just works for us. For a couple of years, we've been vacation-bound to the shores of Wasaga Beach with the extended family for our summer getaway. While playing with my … Continue reading The Grass Can Be Greener On The Sandy Side
