Family. Life. Photography
Last year Easter was just a few weeks before I really jumped into low waste living. As I looked back at photos I cringe a little (okay a lot.) I wasted so many resources. I am making it up this year by not only changing my habits but hopefully influencing others to see how their… Continue reading An Eco-Conscious Easter
I'm a daydreamer because I have always been a book reader. When I was younger I read "The Secret Garden" and ever since I knew one day I wanted a big garden with lots of roses and vines growing up walls. That dream hasn't changed but the garden I did create as an adult is… Continue reading Our First Garden
I've been at this low waste/better living lifestyle for over nine months now & just like anything else new it's been a lot of trial + error. I would love to be one of those people who can store their years trash in a mason jar but, I've been given the task of not only… Continue reading Going Low Waste With Kids

We spend a good part of our week planning meals, budgeting for groceries & going to the grocery store not to mention all the cooking and cleaning that follows.… Continue reading How I feed my family of 6 on $80 A week
The past few months I have been really diving into going zero waste, and I've realized just how challenging it can be to break free from certain things. Especially when you're trying to lead kids and a stubborn boyfriend with you. When everyone isn't fully on board it can tend to pull you out of… Continue reading Zero Waste Camping
Two months ago, I had a strong urge to go camping. Life was frustrating I was overly exhausted & burnt out, so I wanted a relaxing getaway. I planned some days off of work not knowing where I was going yet and decided to take just my oldest. He is the “easiest” kid as far… Continue reading Florida State Parks
