    I think it reaches so many more people that I do in my normal daily life, and can be very attention grabbing if you do it the right way

    What did you learn by making your own cleaning products? What is the biggest difference in making vs buying?

    I've made some cleaning products before, but this time I made an almond oil wood cleaner and I learned that my homemade stuff ALWAYS smells even better than store bought!

    Yes! I'm very lucky to live in a city that has banned plastic straws, so most restaurants either offer paper straws or only offer straws upon request.

    Our favorite craft lately is nature projects where we find things in our yard that we can craft with. We've even made "confetti" out of dried leaves!

    I love watching our kids help us with starting out garden. They get so excited to check on it every day and help water it. It's a great way for us to spend time outside as a family!
