Kids are constantly growing out of their clothes, shoes, and even toys! What do you do with all of that stuff they no longer need?

Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been pretty successful at getting rid of the “old” in order to make money (and room) for the “new.” To help you out, I’m sharing what I’ve learned with … Continue reading →

And as someone who is passionate about the environment, this isn’t something I like to see. I want to share that it is still possible to have a great holiday season, while being eco-friendly at the same time! I have so … Continue reading →

When I was a little girl, maybe 7 years old, my friends and I had a “Save the Earth” club. We would pick up trash … Continue reading →
