Luckymama Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Last week went well (the recipes and cookbooks). I rearranged the cookbook bookcase (a tall skinny Ikea wood one) so that the cookbooks used most often are more handy. I fit it my dad's favorite bread books (parents are deceased---cookbooks had been living in the garage). We tried four new recipes. All recipes pulled from Cooking Light are in plastic sleeves in a binder, waiting to be tried. I also started using Evernote Food to keep track of online recipes we like. This week will be super-easy! We use reusable bags for almost all shopping. I keep the bags on a hook right inside the garage door, so that we grab what we need when leaving the house. Dh doesn't always remember but he's getting better :) Our small city uses single-stream recycling and provides a large wheeled cart for each household. The bin is also right inside our garage door with the lid held open w a bungee cord. All we have to do is open the family room-to-garage door and toss the recycling into the bin :D The kids know to take care of recycling right away----no need for "satellite" recycling centers here! The compost collector resides under the kitchen sink :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Have to get more reusable bags and make a bag holder. We really don't have recycling in our area so we don't recycle much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Week 6 is "Recycling Center" Sun, Feb 10: declutter plastic grocery bags and switch to reusable ones: we use reusable bags most places, but I do still get some plastic bags to use as trash collectors in the van, or to line puke buckets with. Mon, Feb 11: read week #6 recycling center: done! Tues, Feb 12: clear space for home recycling center: already have one Wed, Feb 13: create satellite recycling centers throughout house: already have a central one in the house, and the bin in the garage Thurs, Feb 14: make sure trash cans throughout house: yes....going to wash these this afternoon Fri, Feb 15: get rid of old valentine cards or clear space for them: we recycle them! Sat, Feb 16: Clear spot in kitchen for collecting compost: can't do this because of severe mold allergies in ds This is an easy week for me. Still trying to figure out how to organize my already clipped recipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeschoolMamaOfTwo Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I was out of town and kind of fell off the bandwagon the week before we left. So, I am here, trying to get caught up for the past two weeks plus this week. I hope I can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
