    I'm looking forward to becoming more aware of how much single-use plastic we use, and reducing our environmental impact by being more conscientious. My kids are especially excited about our swap-the-snacks challenge because they enjoy baking with me in the kitchen!

    Using the toy library has helped a lot with letting our toys go and sharing them with others in the community.
