📚 BOOKS RECS FOR KIDS // In the last week, I've

📚 BOOKS RECS FOR KIDS // In the last week, I've shared three resources for books for you guys. #3 is my fave 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. A list of picture books about oceans, rivers and all our waterways 👉🏻 on the blog.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. A list of picture books about bees, bugs, butterflies and worms 👉🏻 also on the blog.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Something I am working on with my sister @blezlie full of chapter book recs over @chapterbookstagram 📚 If you have kids or students reading chapter books, this is for you! It's a little baby thing right now but we have lots of big ideas coming. So go check it out, follow the account, and consider yourself along for the ride from the very beginning! 💛

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS // We waste a lot of food in the

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS // We waste a lot of food in the United States. A lot! There are so many reasons for this. But sometimes, we simply forget about food we already have. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When grocery store shelves are empty, it's particularly apparent to more than just those who are food-insecure (and who already know all too well) that we need to stop wasting so much food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's an idea to start small. Create an "eat soon" shelf, front and center, for things that are nearing expiration. And then go sign up for my Reduce Our Food Waste Footprint challenge to get a whole bunch more ideas! The link is right in my bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to a lunch of leftovers!

☀️ SPRING FOR SPRING // Tell me how you're getting outside this weekend to spring for spring. The groundhog said spring was coming early this year and that has definitely been true where we live. Hopefully I'm not jinxing it. 🤞🏻

SELF-CARE // Sometimes I need a break from all this insanity, so I take a walk around my yard with camera and steal 15 minutes to myself. This is what I found last week in our garden. Your 15 minutes might look different, but drop a 🌺 if you feel me.👇🏻

FOOD WASTE FOOTPRINT CHALLENGE // What if we left

FOOD WASTE FOOTPRINT CHALLENGE // What if we left 40% of our groceries on the front porch every time we came home from the store? 🍎🍞🍊 That would be non-sense right?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since we're all home for another month (at least...), I created a fun little (no stress!) challenge to reduce our food waste at home. Will you join me? It's super easy, and it's all about sharing wins and ideas in a Facebook Group together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All the details are on the blog, and it's the top link in my bio called "Reduce Our Food Waste Footprint" - check it out for details, the link to sign up, etc... Sign up via email and you'll get the link for the FB group on the email. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any questions? Let me know. The more the merrier, so tag a friend or two who might be interested in joining as well!

1️⃣ No level of questionable fashion requirements will dampen our efforts to get @1000hoursoutside today.

2️⃣ "Best scooterer in the family...comin' in hot" (Yes, that's a quote)

3️⃣ In Humans vs. Trees, it's clear that Trees are the superior species. I mean, really? The scale says it all. 🌳💛

Don't be fooled by fancy composting tools. For man

Don't be fooled by fancy composting tools. For many people, composting doesn't require any fancy tools at all. A bowl on the counter to collect food scraps is perfect! Many of the families I've featured in my family composting series on the blog use any old bowl to collect food scraps before bringing them out to the pile. If you compost, how do you collect your food scraps?

KIDS ECO BOOKS // If you're looking for a few good picture book suggestions for your kids right now, I shared a list of books on the blog today all about the magic of our oceans, rivers, and streams as well as why it's important we protect them! #HonestlyGoodKidsEcoBooks

Where are you all getting books with the libraries closed? 📚

🌱 SPRING GARDEN // Too early to tell if we plan

🌱 SPRING GARDEN // Too early to tell if we planted spinach for us or just a buffet of breakfast seeds for the Blue Jay family that dines together in our garden each morning. But the first seeds are planted for spinach and carrots. We can will it to be spring, right??! __
