If you want to pivot your family to a sustainable, zero-waste lifestyle, start by overhauling your kitchen. Most of the waste that households produce comes from the cooking and dining areas. Food scraps, plastic shopping bags, and empty food packets, among other kitchen waste, leave a significant carbon footprint.

School supplies are in the store aisles and parents are checking to see what their kids have outgrown for the fall and winter… but summer isn’t over yet!  Fire up the grill this weekend and delight in this delicious treat.  Chocolate and marshmallows in ice cream sandwiches .. Oh My!

Fireworks are fun — there is no denying it. Pretty much everyone enjoys the explosion of light and color that comes from a big fireworks display.

All y’all I KNOW it’s 100 degrees outside and we’re not even half way through summer but (dare I say it?!)  Winter IS Coming, and in a lot of the country it will inevitably bring the cold and snow.  Our daughter is going to be moving to Utah in fall and while we are no strangers to real winters being from Canada and living in South Dakota for nearly 15 years, living in Texas for the last 8 has spoiled us when it comes to winter.  This last February was as crazy as it gets and it only lasted a week.  So to say our daughter will need some winter outerwear is an understatement.

Many people choose to buy a pickup truck because of its versatility. It can be a passenger vehicle, yet it is rugged enough to haul a wide range of items from debris, soil, equipment, and tools.
