I will be going through old clothing & toys this weekend & donating to Goodwill! Before you throw, think of what others may need.

Question: Where do people dispose of their home alkaline batteries? I used to take them to Hazardous Waste, but now they are telling me I can throw them in the garbage. I can't. It feels wrong.

It's been wonderful to have nice enough weather to turn off our heat, and nice that it's not so hot outside that we have to turn our air conditioning on. Excited to have a lower utility bill this month! I'm also starting to think about how to reduce our energy usage at home this summer. Because it stays light out later, we will likely keep lights off for longer.

What ways are you reducing your energy usage?

What are ways you are reducing water usage at home?

I learned how to make strawberry jam and can it today. My first time canning anything! I might make some homemade bread tomorrow to go with the jam:)
