One of my goals for 2019 & beyond is to continue my sustainability journey by challenging myself to shop less. When I have to shop, I want to buy smarter & greener than I already have been. Some things are easy enough, I just need to do them more – like thrifting. I love thrift…

When we moved into our current home 2 years ago, we had to set some priorities about which spaces needed to be setup first. Once everyone’s bedrooms were in place at least, we had some decisions to make. The open common areas needed to be done, but in what order? What’s more important, the media…
