I fixed Zoe’s red sweatshirt She works at Target, so she either has to wear a red Target vest or a red shirt, and I’m proud to say that she has thrifted a bunch of her red tops. I will say, GenZ is not afraid to thrift, and I love that! I found some red thread in my sewing box. And then I set up my sewing machine.

I’ve been faithfully packing my lunches My building at the college has an in-house Chick Fil A, and in my two years of attending classes there, I’ve managed to not buy food there at all. But now I’m often at college over lunchtime, so I’ve been needing to pack food to eat during breaks. So far, so good!

I love glass containers for food storage at home, largely because they are see-through. Food that’s visible is food that’s less likely to go to waste! And since I’m gonna eat my food pretty promptly, I don’t care that metal containers are opaque. But for lunches, I love metal containers.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later. We passed around pieces of food in the dark and told a story about how the pieces were parts of a body. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

We have accumulated a lot of stuff – lose screws, highly prized collectibles, everyday essentials, clothes that ‘might fit again someday’, tools, children’s artwork, food stuffs and more. Store food in the kitchen or as close to it as possible. This will also reinforce on your memory where you have stored your things.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
