I recently read a statistic that said not only was their so much plastic trash in the world that it would cover the 8th largest country to be knee deep, but that 80% of plastic ever made has been single-use plastics. That means our world is drowning in trash. So how do we live a…
The motto of eco-friendly camping is “leave only footprints, only take pictures” and is where every parent can start in teaching their children about environmentalism and responsibility in nature. The warmer months are approaching and family camping trips are right around the corner. Warm summer days and long weekends enjoying nature, are such a dream….
Several years ago I also heard about the 4 gift giving rule. You know “Something you want, something you need, something you’ll wear, something you’ll read.” It’s cute. But it always missed the mark for me. I would come up with ideas that were good, but didn’t fit the mold and personally, I desire the…
6 weeks after my husband came home telling me we were moving on short notice to Boston. We stepped off a plane with no place to call home, no friends in the area, and a desire to settle in and make it familiar. Holding 2 kids and 17 bags, we were ready to call Massachusetts…
If you’re a regular here, you know my family is in the process of moving across country. Moving in itself is typically not very “green” and can lead to a lot of waste. Especially with kids and all they can accumulate and come with, packing up can not only be difficult, but also lead to…
I remember the day as a child I saw brown eggs for the first time. Did I want to eat them? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Why? They were dirty. When did our society make any product that isn’t pure white something that is “dirty” or less desirable? It is such a shame that there are two or more…
It was two and a half years ago that we started our natural parenting and cloth diapering journey. Somewhere in the first half of my first pregnancy, we started digging deep into how we could be better stewards of both our environment and money even with children. While we knew we wanted to save money,…
As Christmas decorations come down, there are always items that are broken, torn, or simply otherwise trash. Figuring out how to recycle Christmas trash and finding new ways to re-purpose it can be difficult, but there are several crafts that you can do yourself or with your children to give that trash a second life….
Looking for an easy game to make out of things you probably already have around the house? Make a DIY Skee Ball and Darts game. So it’s not quite skee ball, but has some elements, and it’s not really darts either, but it also has some elements. SO It’s just the love-child of the two. Maybe…
Broken chalk. Pieces of Broken chalk everywhere. That’s what I see when I look at my front porch and patio. My daughter loves to just snap it in half and she is notorious for pressing too hard when she is playing with it. This means I have tons of chalk that she doesn’t want to…
Every new mom searches for baby must haves, trying to figure out what things to not miss out on and trying to save money. I know that it was definitely something we asked about and tried to find the answer to. However, I soon found that the basics are truly the only must haves that…
Bottle caps of all shapes, sizes, textures, and materials are something we typically find a lot of in our house. They can make great craft supplies and toys before getting recycled, so we are always looking for ways to use our stash. (We do have a collection of bottle caps that is a variety that…
