Many years ago, I got a little wooden chest from freecycle. The freecycle chest is pretty small. And I filled a few spots on the sides as well. I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. Long live the minivan!

Babies grow so quickly that their babies only wore some outfits for a time or two before they outgrew them, so the clothes looked like new.

It saves them money, as well as saving the planet! Look for a consignment shop in town, visit Freecycle web site, or check the Classifieds before you go to the store to buy new. Even if you don’t have a lot of room, you can grow a container garden. Bring Your Own Grocery Bags. You might be surprised at what you can get.

Well, you know the saying… ask and ye shall receive! Never try to use non-canning jars to preserve your food – doing so could lead to dangerous (invisible) bacteria growing in your food. You might even luck out and find one listed on Freecycle or in your local paper’s classified ad section.
