Love your daughter’s clever jumper!

We recycle/repurpose almost everything. The latest venture was a go-cart the GD and her Grandpa made. Old boards, old wheels, various nuts and bolts found in a coffee can, seat of an old plastic lawn chair, some rope. It was a days entertainment and it still has to be painted with some leftover paint.

She also learns in the process – and wear goggles while using power tools (yes she drills and saws!) and a bike helmet when riding the cart down the hill.

I’m loving your kitchen renovation. Would you consider posting more pics when you are totally finished? Love your blog!

We separate all the stuff the disposal service takes away. Kitchen scraps go over the fence for the critters (foxes now make nightly visits) and gift bags are always reused.

I love seeing kids getting into this green movement. It’s so encouraging. Your kitchen is just gorgeous Sandy. I love it and I envy your recycling center. It is fabulous.

Such a cute and creative little project. I love that she was confident enough to wear it to school. We recycle plastic, glass, and newspaper in our house.

I have several excuses for not doing traditional recycling (small town, no service, would have to collect/take/sort/drive all myself), but I do reuse as much as I can – cereal boxes for art projects with the kids, wipe clean wax paper from cereal so I don’t have to buy that very often, and I use a stack of cheap washcloths instead of paper towels to reduce trash! Oh, and cloth diapers – I get lots of points for that, right? *wink*
