Apparently it's national farmers market week!

Visiting the farmer's market is one of my all time favorite activities. I don't go as much as I'd like because I often want to purchase something from every vendor and, well, that can get expensive.

Supporting your local market might be one of the best ways to promote a sustainable lifestyle. You are helping close the loop from farmer to consumer, supporting their livelihood and get to eat with the seasons—meaning the produce will be fresher and taste better!

So get out there and visit the farmers market—it might be the highlight of your week! (Find a market near you, and search for exactly what you need, here).

7 days to a more sustainable you!

I have a new mini challenge available to guide you through 7 sustainable tasks. Each day you'll receive an email with 1 thing to do in order to be more sustainable that day.

If you get behind, just resume when you are ready! Who knows, going to the market might even be one of the tasks. You'd have one less task going into the challenge!

🌱TIP OF THE WEEK!

Sustainability is second nature to me, but lately, I've felt like my efforts of being sustainable are not enough or the expectations I set for myself are too high.

Today, I'm giving myself permission to release the guilt and take a break.

I'll find my motivation again, maybe even through my work while teaching you to be more sustainable! 😉

Cheers to intentional,
sustainable, clean-er living

P.S. If the 7-day mini challenge sounds right up your alley, I'm putting together a 30 day sustainability habit tracker! Stay tuned for more details. Taking name suggestions because ChatGPT gave me "The Sustainable Shift" and I don't know if I'm sold on it yet. 😏

Let's talk about composting.

Are you ready? Clearly, they are not. My sweet mother recommended more discussions about in my email newsletters so let's do it! I love talking about composting. Using something that would otherwise go to the landfill to turn back into soil, amazing. What you need to remember about the process is to have more browns (carbon) than greens (nitrogen). What are sources of carbon? 💚shredded paper💚toilet paper and paper towel tubes💚wood chips💚dried leaves💚newspaper💚cardboard💚eggshells What are...

Searching for consistency

Where's the balance? It's snow magical My weekly email habits have fallen off the deep end and are no where to be found. In this season of managing a full time job and having time for anything else, I've sacrificed a lot. The other day, I had the realization that I can't expect myself to do all the things I was doing before I had a full time job. I simply don't have the same amount of time. And that's okay! The morning go by quickly as we rush to get out the door. The evenings are filled with...
