My composting adventures all started about 9 years ago when our local Penn State Cooperative Extension office offered a free composting bin (the round one in the picture) when you attended their free composting seminar. I have a system going, but I am a laid back composter. Usually, I'm wearing my bathrobe.

We like to start a backyard fire to roast marshmallows and invite friends over to enjoy the long summer day. It’s FREE and each playground visit is a new experience with different kids to play with and different equipment to explore. – Unless you’re a member of a tennis club, hitting the tennis courts is usually free.

Honestly, I signed up for the trip, because it was a free chance to go to Pittsburgh. I started a backyard compost many years ago before we had kids. Now the compost is also a science lesson for my kids. Hang your laundry outside and have the sun do all of the work and it’s FREE! Green Living'

From composting and saving rain water to using cloth napkins and reusable grocery bags, I have made many changes in my life over the last 20 years. Buying our home, having children, and trying to become debt free have all had a hand in encouraging me to be a better steward of the environment. Earth Day has come a long way.

Before kids, I spent my free-time volunteering at a stray rescue shelter for dogs. After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. This doesn’t include the many free in-library activities we’ve enjoyed over the years. Louis means so many options for free activities!
