reduce, re-use, recycle



i have such a hot little tip it amazes me that it took so long to hit me!!!

it involves frozen juice containers...



here's how it works:

reduce: we are REDUCING the amount of plastic used for our juice by buying concentrated frozen juice. what's the difference in frozen as compared to ready to drink? besides the size of the plastic containers, the ready to drink juice has the water already added!!! how hard is that for me to add my own tap water? BONUS...i water down my kids juice by cutting it with water anyway so now i just save myslef some time in the long run and add extra water while making it

re-use: if your making juice chances are you have kids, how many times do your kids ask for a bowl or bucket or cup to play in the sandbox, pool or even when rinsing off in the bath...RE-USE those cute little juice cups for just these purposes

recycle: when your child is finally done using the cup...after about 6yrs!!!! just pop them into your weekly RECYCLE bin!!!

see...quick no brainer tip. and besure to look for 100% and organic juices...they can be found ;)

my new toy



yay me!!!

every year for my FABULOUS birthday my in-laws give me money...yay them...so i can pick the perfect gift for myself. this year i took part of it and bought an AWESOME bike trailer. this may seem like a strange thing to by for my perfect present but consider this...



christmas 2006 my dear husband got me a great mountain bike so i could ride on the tow-path along the delaware canal, well a year and a half later the bike has sprouted cob webs and the tires have deflated!!! all because we have 3 little girls who cannot ride a bike for more than a house. not that that is a bad thing but they are to little to go any distance, so we are STUCK! we love, love, love the jog stroller but lets be honest some times you just want something different.

this puppy seats 2 (up to 100lbs) and handles like a dream (did i really say that?!?!?) we hooked it up to my bike today and babies 2 and 3 hopped in and away we went.

oh the freedom!!! of course daddy still needs to be around to keep an eye on one of the kids, but it was so nice to be able to get some exercise, and have 2 of the girls out in the fresh air!!!

it really was a pleasure to use and very simple, i never wanted one of those bike seats...they scare me and even more since two summers ago i was driving down the road and saw a woman with her bike on the ground and a toddler in the seat, i stopped because i was so worried about them and she had apparently lost control of the bike and crashed, thank god the little girl had a helmet on!

maybe if i ever get the chance i can pop up some hot little pics of me and my crew out for a cruise!!!

have a FABULOUS friday!!!
