I am all about reuse, reuse, recycle. My family has fun doing it. We have all sorts of projects. I've even had parties where everyone came over and we made our own laundry detergent, dish soap, and cleanser. I think it's important to not overuse and overspend. That's another subject altogether, though.
Well, I got it from my mom, who got it from her mom, who got it from her mom...
My mom is all about upcycling. She is so creative and finds many ways to do so. Here are some awesome bows she's making out of artsy paper and magazines. Check out her etsy shop, justBE.
Why do I do this? I am always counting down to something. My next day off, my birthday, another vacation, paying off my car note. I need to live in the moment more. I have three outrageously awesome kids. I need to enjoy them more. And not worry about when things will be perfect. (Because we all know that will NEVER happen. At least not to me.)
