Well, I’ve finally figured out how to enjoy my Keurig without all the K-cup waste. Eureka! You know I can’t live without my coffee in the morning. Please, disregard my just-rolled-out-of-bed look. Here’s what you need: The Green Cup- coffee pod adapter ($5) DisposaCup Filters (or similar) ($0.07-$0.10 each) Finely-ground coffee The Green Cup [...]

Upcycling Day 9 – Newspaper to Wrapping Paper #freefromtrash
Ultimately, it’s probably best if you read your news online and not in a paper-paper. But, I get the Sunday editions because I want the coupons. I love to save the Comics section of the paper. It makes great wrapping paper! Tie it up with some twine or ribbon or make a bow like yesterday’s [...]
Pin ItUpcycling Challenge Day One – T-shirt to Baby Fashion #freefromtrash
Well, DAY ONE is exciting because I’ve been pinning T-shirt upcycling tutorials for a LOOONG time. The problem is… what exactly do I want to do today? I’ve actually already picked up some neat T’s from Goodwill a few weeks ago with hopes to upcycle them into cute outfits for Ellie. But, how exactly to [...]
Pin ItUpcoming Upcycling Challenge in July
I’m excited to announce that I’m participating in this Free From Trash challenge in July. We’ll see if I can pull it off without pulling my hair out. But first, I’d like to discuss a little bit about what upcycling really is and why it’s important. Reusing is when you are able to continue to [...]
Pin ItSaying Goodbye to all the Clutter
Does anyone else feel uneasy or anxious when there’s just “too much” stuff around you? I do. I’ve spent the last month or so, slowly cleaning out our house of all the excess stuff we have accumulated (and I still have a long way to go). It’s unbelievable how many things have moved with me [...]
Pin ItThe slippery slope of eco-thought.
It’s a slippery slope. Once you find yourself going down the what’s-good-for-the-planet train of thought, you find that there is no easy stopping point. Well, if I care about waste from k-cups, why don’t I care about the waste from that bag of shredded cheese? Look at all this packaged crap… How much trash have [...]
Coffee, I’m breaking up with you.
Dear (cup of) Joe, I loved making love to you in my Keurig. For the first time, it was so nice that I could have my single cup of whatever flavor I want and it was perfect every time. Our relationship was strained back in the Mr. Coffee days. How much coffee to put in? [...]
Pin ItPaint with all the colors of the wind… (A Post on Clotheslining)
Clotheslines are up. Ordered a Crawford-Lehigh RC20 20-Feet Retractable Clothesline for inside the porch and a 40-ft one for the yard. (Our town is one big HOA that requires outdoor clotheslines to be retracted when not in use.) Installation was pretty darn simple (two screws and one screw-hook thing). I’ll use the line in the [...]
Pin ItEarth Day Resolutions
Happy Earth Day! I feel like it’s New Years all over again, as I’m finding myself making all sort of resolutions for Earth Day: Get our new bike trailer set up so I can take Ellie further without driving. We used our REI 20% coupon and dividends to pick one up. Our town is set [...]
Clothes and Shoes and Toys, oh my!
As you know, I love a good deal and going green. So, buying things used allows me to be do both! There are TWO local children’s consignment expos this weekend. Wee-cycle Mart TotSwap I planned on hitting up both today, but did so well at the first one that I decided to head on home [...]
