Recycling is great for the environment and we should all be doing it (in spite of my title), but reusing is even better. When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle. Plastic trash bags.
Family Balance Sheet

I like to reuse them for lunches/snacks. It’s homecoming season, also known as the most stressful time of year for mothers across the U.S. There’s a better chance the healthy food will get eaten if it’s prepped, and it saves time on weekday mornings. Everyone just grabs want they want for the day. Miscellany.

Gerstein that a shower is essentially for the mother. Lest you think I’m uncompromising, I can see one instance when a second baby shower would be acceptable–when a mother has another child years and years after she had the last one. People kept their baby gear to reuse until their family was complete.

Seeking closeness while recovering from delivery or easing breastfeeding, mothers often opt to cradle little ones in bed overnight, contravening grave safety warnings about bed-sharing and suffocation risks from well-meaning pediatricians. Secure attachments flourish through reliable comfort.

Living eco-friendly is of top priority in our house and so I thought I would share with you some of the things we do to work with mother nature. They can be thrown in the wash and reused again for next time. Recycle and reuse. If you can’t reuse something, recycle it using your local program. Use fabric bags.

They barely have food to eat, and the mother, who is pregnant, prepares for the new baby by sewing feedsack nighties for him. Yet, when people in the community come to ask for donations for the needy, the narrator’s mother does not hesitate to give away some of her few remaining canned goods. One point equals one diaper.
The Frugal Girl
FEBRUARY 18, 2024
After I became a mother, finances became much more complicated. I save money where I can, reusing old food containers for my multitude of seasonal seedlings, getting free five-gallon buckets from the bakery to use for extra growing space, making compost from our fruit and vegetable scraps, and starting almost everything from seed.
