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

I was surprised to see how many things I currently do! I have a few in mind that I want to try. But don’t hold your breath on the hanging laundry thing. It’s not going to happen anytime soon 😀
Check out dinner!

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