Save Trees with These

During meals, use cloth napkins (like these from Gumps) or hand towels for the little ones. If they aren't too dirty, I re-use them to wipe the counters in the kitchen. Double duty!

Eliminating one napkin or paper towel daily is a huge tree saver!

Clean House, Clean Planet

Do you (like me) have any leftover Xmas boxes filled with those ultra-annoying styrofoam peanuts?

Here's what you do:

Return them to UPS or any mailbox service store. They'll take them and reuse them. Simple!

Fresh Start: For the Kitties and Pooches

GIVE THIS

TO ME!

Here's such a simple solution to all those once-loved towels, sheets, and worn blankets: Donate them to your local vet or humane society! They'll keep the furry friends, like Pixie, so super comfy.

Fresh Start: Share the Warm Fuzzies

I have two kids born 19 months apart. During my cleaning purge, I discovered an excess of 50 gorgeous baby blankets, like this one from minky. Now that Luca is two years old, I decided to set them free!

So I donated them to his preschool. Now there are more than enough warm snugglies for naptimes.

Ahhhhh.

Fresh Start: Purge is the Word!

Something about all those new presents needing places in my bulging closets and drawers is enough to give me a nervous breakdown! So, purge is the word! 

Here's a fabulous eco-tip: Take those heavy duty boxes (my favorites: Tiffany's and Louis Vuitton boxes -- yes, Santa rocks!) and store breakable ornaments and family photos that have been shoved in the drawers. (I also put baby books and photo albums in these fabulous and totally reusable boxes. Perfect!)

Resolutions: Keep Diapers from Disarray

Finally! A seriously sultry ruched tote bag that can hold your spare diapers, snack bars, juice boxes, chapsticks, lipsticks, bottles, binkies, and blankies, too. Someone please pinch me.
