    I didn't do very good at checking in this year but hey there's always next year. Hopefully everyone else did pretty good!

    The last day! This was quite an adventure and I feel good about all the new habits I have created not just for myself, but for my girls as well.

    I had fun participating in Plastic Free July. Some things were harder than I thought they would be. This challenge made me think a lot more about what plastics I'm contributing to. Even though July is almost over I will still reduce my use of plastics as much as possible.

    What a great month of going plastic free---or as much as I could!

    Found 2 great recipes today to use the veggies we received in this week's CSA. Both were really good -- an apple cider vinegar based coke slaw (nice and crispy) and an herbed potato salad.
