one small change - january

if it wasn't extremely obvious, i've got lots going on in my head and big hopes lately for revamping my way of life. and of course a new year is always good motivation to renew our intentions and spirit. i had been moving towards this anyways. a baby seems to do the same sorts of inspiring and motivating. anyways, i have decided that in addition to my new year 50 (im already halfway there), i am going to do this as well. i hope i'm not taking on too much. but i think all these things are ideally what i want to do with my life. so it doesn't hurt to try and pick up where i leave off if things get crazy.

so, i have lots of ideas to fit into a few months. things i've been meaning to do anyways. here are my ideas:

1) use unpaper towels and rags for cleaning and household messes/chores

2) try alex with cloth diapers

3) attempt the family cloth

4) bring bags/containers for shopping

5) change billing statements to online

6) freecycle/donate household excess

7) turn lights/appliances off

8) plan errands

9) make household cleaners

10) do some green crafting (sandwich/snack bags, cloth napkins, pillow cases, duvet, gift bags)
