Our #advent looks a little different this year. Instead of making a calendar with 31 gifts for my family, I’ve decided to start a food bank calendar instead, one item per day of December to give away at the end. Now, my second one I’m not hugely proud of because it came wrapped in plastic, but my partner said he never had one growing up... so I couldn’t resist making him smile by sharing my childhood tradition with him. Have you made one this year? #happychristmas #wednesdaywisdom #giving #tradition #newtradition #notplasticfree #spreadjoy #bekind #thinkofothers
My lovely friend @allyouneedisloveinthekootenays invited me to a wreath-making workshop at @mjsfloralboutique last night, and this is the product I went home with! I’m not the most decoratively gifted person, so I had fun learning. The decorations I chose can easily be used again, and the branches I will compost when they are all done! #happyholidays #firstcanadianchristmas #joy #wreath #decorate #local #evergreen #simple #festive
This stack of randomized bits of fabric go a long way for us. There are some actual washcloths, collected over the years, on the bottom, but mostly this is a cut up white shirt that was too stained to donate, a pink onesie that was too stained to pass on, red PJ pants that got turned into shorts, and a worn out white tank. We use these mostly for baby wipes, tissues, small messes, cleaning the potty, and TP especially for toddler’s bum (way more efficient than regular TP). Aside from random sewing projects, do you have a fabric scrap stash that you use around the house? #wastereduction #reduce #reuse #wastenot #fabric #scraps #cloth #gesundheit #toddlerlife
The tea and coffee cupboard: loose leaf tea purchased in reused jars at @fullfill_co and @bulkbarnfoods , and @kickinghorsecoffee beans from a refillable tin. Teabags contain plastic fibers - I don’t feel comfortable steeping that in hot water and consuming it, which is why I choose loose leaf and a steel teaball. Then I compost the leftover grounds or leaves. We use an old wooden #zassenhaus grinder for our coffee, gifted from my father who no longer had use for it, and French-press it. #tea #teatime #coffee #butfirstcoffee #routine #teamaster #home #plasticfree #bulk #zerowaste #compost #drinkup #yesplease #hotbeverage #daily #comfort #steep #sip #refill #reuse #reduce
