Paper plates are a little bit of a guilty pleasure. Generally I do try to minimize my landfill contributions, but there are times when I just want to bust out the paper products and skip the dishes. SO, I was happy when Hefty (smart marketers that they are) contacted me and asked me to try […]

My friend Carrie gave me the kindness button you see above for my birthday. I’ve since learned there’s a whole kindness movement behind these badges, which is quite inspiring. The purpose of these little guys is to hand them out to people — preferably unsuspecting strangersĀ — when they do something kind (same idea as […]
