Hello again! As a quick recap, please refer back to the first two parts of my three-part series: Mindfulness and Minimalism. This last bit is putting it all together in a way that works for you and your family in the long haul. It's not a diet or a fad, it's a lifestyle change! According to Wikipedia, "Sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of

My new monster recycling bin. Pictured next to the old one. Tulsa is changing to a new trash program and my neighborhood just got our new garbage and recycling bins. With the new program our twice weekly pickup is changing to a once weekly pickup, but recycling is now included instead of being an

I own a coffee pot, but it's stored in one of the cabinets over the fridge. The ones where you keep things you never use. The only time it gets taken out is when I have company who depend on their morning coffee. I'll drink tea year-round though. During my recent visit to Colorado my friend Amy and I visited the Celestial Seasonings plant for a tour. Check out these cool teapots they had on

Ollie enjoying the sofa. Don't the new cushions just make it look like you can sink into the couch and relax? The new cushion covers are here! They arrived Thursday afternoon, just in time for me to update my couch's look before my book club gals came over. My initial thoughts: The section on the right is slightly heavier than the one on the left. I love, love, LOVE the pattern. Saffron

I ordered the cushion covers for my new sofa cushions! I got my living room sofa for free when my grandparents sold the family cabin, and for the most part it's great. It's comfy and it folds out into a double bed. However, the cushions for the back of the sofa are about an inch thick. And they don't match my decor. Current couch cushions. My solution was to go buy Euro size pillows (the ones

Earlier this week the TYPros Sustainability crew held a short lesson on Winterizing Your Home. I’ve been a member of TYPros for almost three years, but I have actually attended very few of their events.
