CLOTH It's been a hot minute since I've posted about anything reusable in our home. Probably because I'm too busy washing it all But I am SO proud to say it has been just over 4 months since we have purchased any paper towel for our household ... My quick math says that has saved me about $80 in 4 months, that has almost paid for my reusable stuff! Although it may seem like an investment up front, they quickly pay off @marleysmonsters @cheeksahoyhandmade @grovia #sustainableliving #reusablediapers #clothdiapers #reusablepapertowel #reusablenapkins #reusablewipes #reduceyourwaste #wastefreeliving #reuseit #ecofriendly #greenlivingtips #livegreen #refillables #reusablebags

When it comes to Planning a Food Garden the first step is to consider what you truly eat (and therefore have to buy) the most of in the Summer Season For us it's basically what is in the photo below plus a few extras we grow and a couple I dream of growing (aka fungi ) Sit down with your family, make it a fun time and write down everything you dream of growing to eat! (You won't do it all but its always fun) ... This list is ideally what I would be asking you to provide me with in order to begin planning your garden Plus your space, sunlight exposure, drainage and more Anyone else dreaming of the garden yet or is it just me?! #growgreens #groworganic #sustainablegardening #growgardensnotlawns #growyourownfood #freefood #playinthedirt #dirtforyoursoul #barefootgardener

This time of year is different for everyone... For some it is filled with pure joy-whatever that may be. For some it is a fight over where or when a kid or parent should be present.... For some its a consistent reminder of those who aren't here. Let us all remember the PRESENT is called one for a reason. Stop. Breathe. Take it all in. Every moment is a gift, even though some feel like they are impossible Shelb #staywoke #bepresent #thepresentisapresent #bewhereyouare #stayfocused #anxietysucks #kickanxiety #staypresent #thismomentisthebestone
