    We love Razoko! Compostable and pick part is more durable than other compostable brands.

    We love Hibar shampoo and conditioner bars. They work well on our long hair and dry scalp. Nice mild smell too!

    Our puppy Pal quickly took to the pads and they are so easy to clean. We got out our old diaper pail to soak them as they collect. We've started moving them out the door now that it is warm enough for him to be outside and the pads are heavy enough they don't blow away in the wind.

    How does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?

    Every time I pickup litter off of streets and sidewalks I think of the risks to birds and small mammals, whether it is from eating it or dashing across traffic to check it out, and ultimately fish and invertebrates that will eventually end up eating it when it ends up in the watershed.

      This is a great way to think about it! Each piece picked up is one less hazard for other species!

    What reusable options have you started using to clean up pet hair?

    Vacuum with interchangeable heads so we can use it for floor as well as furniture!

    Pal loves playing with a chew toy I made from old drapes.

    I use Norwex cloth and water for wiping most surfaces, windows and mirrors. For hard water and other hard crusted heavy dirty areas, I mix 1 part vinegar and 1 part Dawn dish soap, spray it on and let it dry. Once it is dry I wipe it off and reuse my sudsy rag to wash nearby floors.

      Reminds me of my favorite book: How to Live on Nothing by Joan Ranson Shortney, publshed in 1961.
