Staying Active

        It's Saturday, sunny and a slight breeze in the air. Which means we were out of the house by 8:30. 
        A nice activity we started last week is going to our local farmers market for some fresh produce. Other then chasing a one year old around the park we managed to find some corn, peaches, tomatoes, and carrots all package free, which is always a plus. 
       After that we drove to Garden of the Gods which is beautiful and a nice hiking trail. But if you're like me and haven't worked out simce you found out you were pregnant with your first kid bring a lot of water and make sure to stop in the shady bits, I think we only hiked a mile there and a mile back. Trust me I loved that air conditioning once we got back to the car. 
       Last thing we did was go to the zero waste shop for our resupply of laundry detergent and dish soap. 
      It's only 1:14 and I am knackered, after a small lunch and break all thats left to do is dishes, laundry and try to get ahead for tomorrow. Sundays just a few hours away and with the virus still going on I don't really have a plan for worship. Hopefully I'll find something informative and interesting tonight so I'm prepared tomorrow. 
       

Its not about being perfect zero waste, it's about as many people trying to reduce their waste.

But I'm slowly finding things to help me.  One of my daily routines is cleaning out the sink for my youngest daughter (3 months) to wash in.  The first thing you need to do is wash your dishes. One of my favorite dish cleaners is Dr. Bronners soap. Its multipurpose, refillable, and diluteable so it lasts for longer periods of time. I also use a dishwasher for when my dishes have stacked as tall as a mountain. When that happens I turn to Dropps dishwasher pods.  So my dishes are washed, my sink is empty and i want the kitchen fully clean before I wash my daughter. I reach under the sink and the cleaner I used for years is gone. I finally knew it was time to change to a zero waste c...
