‘Tis the season for some traditional treats. Cranberries are one of those things that really set the holiday season in motion for me as soon as I can find them in the grocery store. The clerk cashing me out usually isn’t too impressed with my excitement, and it’s only in recent years I came to…

Homemade Laundry Detergent
With more all-natural products coming out all the time, often with hefty price tags, it’s a clever skill to be able to craft your own cleaners and detergents that are equally as friendly for you as they are for the environment. Homemade laundry soap is one of the easiest how-to’s out there and it can save…
Ask For Paper

Today we are going to cover perhaps the easiest life change you can make that costs absolutely nothing to do. The only thing you need to do is remember. When you go to the…
Buy Less Plastic
Happy eco-friendly Friday everyone! This one seems like a super obvious topic but let’s touch base on some of the things we buy without giving it a single thought. We’ve already gone over toothbrushes and disposable razors in some of our earlier discussions, but there are so many other household items that come in plastic…

Last Thursday afternoon I went to my couch, commandeered my television from my kids, and faced Mount Laundry yet again. After seeing some people post about the show Tidying Up on Netflix, I decided to…

Sunday Funnies
Back in about January, I think it was, I purchased a new dining room table for our family because the one that we previously owned was only big enough for a few of us to sit at. It just wasn’t practical and not having enough seats or space for all five of us really bothered…
Vegan Cherry-Peach Cobbler
We’re a little bit hooked on cobbler right now. The boys think they’re just eating cake, I get to introduce them to new fruits, and we all get dessert. Everybody wins. A lot of this recipe is similar to the Vegan Blueberry Cobbler recipe, but I did a little more than just swapping out fruit. First of…
