Thanks to Mom for sending it to me!
Wade and I have, for the most part, been plastic bag free for about 9 months now.
Our grocery store has nice sturdy cardboard boxes you can buy for .99 and every time you use them you get a .10 discount for each one. We also bought two of the .99 re-usable bags that the grocery stores have. The only time we've used plastic bags is when we bought so many grocerys that we needed a few, or have run to the store when we don't have the boxes/bags with us.
This is a great website: http://www.reusablebags.com/
It's where we've gotten Jessi's Kleen Kanteen (It's awsome and the most leak-proof sippy that we've found.) I refuse to get her any sippy's that have BPA in them.
That website is also where Jessi & Wade are getting their "Christmas presents" from. (shhh... ;) )
Anyways, that's my earth-friendly update for today ;)

Hmm. I have a lot of plastic bags in my apartment. I reuse them as much as possible, but they eventually get thrown in the trash bin or the recycling bin. Maybe a New Year's resolution to use paper or cloth is in order?
Okay...scratch the paper. I'm doing more reading :)
Martha Stewart had an idea...make reusable bags from tank tops. check out her website.
By the way, I know your mom through blogging and have checked out your blog a couple of times.
Hey Neisha.. I've checked out yours a few times too. Lol.
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to check that out.. I have a drawer full of tank tops that I never wear!
Hi. I found a couple of websites for making reusable bags. One of them is using an old pillowcase. I'm going to try that one. Hope you sew.
