On the backside of Monday

Today was a great day and I’m going to assume Tuesday will behave. I’ve got a ton of blind faith that it will hold off on any bombs, bad news, overall yucky stuff. We all need a good Tuesday.

So, Earth Day is coming up. What am I doing about it? I’ve got a lot of options! I found this challenge on Lori's blog

GREEN WEEK CHALLENGES:

1. Wash clothes with cold water 1 pt
2. Drink a green smoothie 1 pt
3. Eat a vegetarian or vegan meal 1 pt
4. Use cloth napkins 1 pt
5. Make and use your own cleaning products (Recipes here!) 2 pts
6. Use a canvas, or reusable, grocery bag 1 pt

It’s late and Tuesday is lurking close by. Night y’all!
