A little walk, fresh air and a nap!

Hello there, Hunter had a fun day today he apparently danced for everyone to the Rolling Stones (that kind of scares me!), Aunt Mimi got to see his daycare, and meet some of his friends. At daycare they feed the squirrels (which even though I have this new addiction to the environment I don't recommend!) so we got to meet Stubby, a squirrel that has no tail, and is really chubby from lots of peanuts, the kids love him! I was kind of freiked out because he comes to the door, no exaggeration I have a witness! Anyway, then it was home for Mexican night, we have a new menu plan so we had very colorful fajitas and Hunter enjoyed a few pieces of yellow pepper, a first for both of us! Then we went for a stroll and as you can see our little bundle fell asleep. It was a productive day!

BYOB. Bring Your Own BAGS!!! This green tip is a motivator for me because as you know I began making canvas bags to do my part to cut down on the use of paper & plastic grocery bags. Well, as many of you know I am a project taker-on-er (my new word) therefore, they aren't quite finished so I decided to put some info. behind my beliefs about the waste to motivate myself to finish. Here it is......12 million barrels of oil and 14 million trees go to producing paper and plastic bags in one year! Also, plastic bags are one of the most common items found in coastal cleanups. So, the benefits are not only for the environment but some stores offer discounts, or pennies for bags for bringing your own, and your own are sturdier. But, if you can't bring yourself to ditch the bags, at least tie knots in your plastic bags before you trash them so they don't fill with air and take up more landfill room, or fly away and create more litter.
