We are getting much better about turning out the lights and fans. I have forgotten a time or two – this challenge is definitely harder for the Rogue. The Toddler is really good about it, so good he even turning the lights and fans off when we are still in the room.
I have more wax than clear cups for the tealight candles, so I will just save and reuse what I have. I feel less guilty using my sconces now because I am not worried about the cost of replacing the tealights.
The cloth diapers have not yet arrived, but I will post an update after we have used them.
Using cloth tushie wipes is taking some getting used to. The Toddler does not know what he thinks about it. I need to get a bucket for them and the diapers – the one I was planning on using broke.
The Rogue has been doing a great job thus far with Project Green 365. He has given me quite a few ideas that will be implemented. I really like that this is now a group effort, rather than me dragging everyone along for the very bumpy ride. This was a great Mother’s Day gift. He also bought me the new domain name. Oh yes, I am keeping him. No, he does not have a single brother.
We still have ants in the house but not as many as we had before. There are some new ones that are bigger, not the tiny ones I found in the pantry and I think they are staging their attack from a different area. I have only seen a handful and sprayed bombarded them with vinegar when I saw them. I am hopeful they took my declaration of war seriously. They will NOT win!
The Rogue still has not given me a clue what my present is. Big meanie!
We are already mourning the breakup with prepackaged shredded cheese. We made homemade pizza for dinner and could not find the hand grater. Luckily I have a Salad Shooter which shredded the cheese in short order. I cannot promise I will ever give up my Salad Shooter or many of the other kitchen appliances I have that make life easier for me. Carpal tunnel syndrom is a bitch while I have a huge love for being eco-friendly, I love my independance too. The less I have to ask the Rogue to do, the better for my own sanity.

Suggestion: Get yourself a stainless steel bin for your diaper/tushie wipes. They apparently don’t absorb odors and are easy to clean/disinfect.
Great progress all the way around though!! Two thumbs up for YOU!!
I will have to find one of those. I am envisioning a cute little metal trash can that clanks really loudly – the Toddler would adore that.
Mental note: ear plugs.
I’ve always found those ones up here at Lee Valley… let me go find the website… http://www.leevalley.com/
Okay so they’ve only got Canadian stores BUT they ship to the US.
We love Lee Valley. We bought some of our wedding stuff from them. I will have to check them again!
