If I could rewrite the lyrics of “O Christmas Tree,” to incorporate a greener theme, I would sing the first verse of the song as follows: O, Christmas tree, O Christmas Tree, I wish that buying a green one is what people could see. O Christmas tree, O Christmas Tree, Perhaps they could replant, rent, […]
Clementine Crate Become Nifty Bathroom Storage Container
My kids love clementines (okay devour clementines.) So what is the harm with this? Their packaging. They come in a wood crate with a plastic net. I HATE the packaging. I can’t recycle the crate but have been giving them away to be reused. People sure love them. My cousin uses them to store her […]

Think Emeril Lagasse of Green Planet/Bob Villa with a little of […]

Hair Today, Deer Gone Tomorrow
My son came home from a birthday party with a little green mesh bag of candy. What was I going to do with this mesh bag? It is too tiny to hold much and anything that is tiny would slip right out the holes. However, as of late, I have been trying to think of […]
Let Me Count the Way to Reuse Your Mylar Balloons
Photo by permission of peretzpup With Mother’s Day fastly approaching, what would be nicer than a flower arrangement with a shiny Mylar Balloon inscribed with the saying, “Number 1 MOM?” How about your Memorial Day or 4th of July party?
