Small Ways to Go Green

I’ll be the first to admit I have a long way to go in sustainable practices but I think what really matters is that I am trying to improve my habits. Every little step I can take to reduce the amount of waste I contribute makes progress. I’m excited to try to make even bigger changes in the future. This is the only planet we’ve got and if we all try to reduce, recycle, and reuse more it would certainly benefit our planet. I’m no expert, but here are small ways I am trying to be a little greener.

I’m bringing you some variety this month but I have to warn you, none of these books are very light or funny. Surprisingly, it was the thriller that won my vote for book of the month. Check out my book reviews below to read what I thought of each of these stories.

Best Gifts for a 3 Year Old

pin image "37+ Gift Ideas for 3 Year Olds"

Our daughter just turned four so I now feel confident in recommending gift ideas for three-year-olds. One fun aspect of three-year-olds is that their personality really starts to shine at this age. Also, the child has started to develop real interests which you can use to your advantage when selecting gifts. Does the child love to dance? If so, then maybe ballet slippers and a tutu would make great gifts. If the kid is fascinated by bugs surprise him/her with a magnifying glass, butterfly net, etc. Themed gifts are always a great way to go. I like to always add in a book that fits the theme (we’re big readers in our house). I hope this three-year-old gift guide helps you think of the perfect present.
