Are Your Daily Habits Wasting Energy? - Blog Entry

17 Feb 2007 06:35 AM

My children always turn the light on in the bathroom, no matter what time it is. This drives me crazy b/c our bathroom gets plenty of sun. In fact if I am in the shower and they need to use the potty they turn on the light and ask me if I like taking a shower in the dark. I tell them to turn it off b/c it isn't dark in the bathroom. lol I like turning off the computer. We leave both of our computers on all the time. I guess I should try turning them off at night.

Don't Fall into The Paper Towel Trap: Alternatives - Blog Entry

I love paper towels. My husband HATES to buy them b/c he says they are very expensive, and all you do is throw them out. lol I like to use clean wash cloths on my daughters messy hands and facer. I was using paper towels for that but we were going through a roll of paper towels every other day. When I was growing up my mom always cleaned windows with newspaper. It always worked really well. Mary Ann, you've got me thinking about paper towel waste. lol Blessings, Laura

No Excuses! Hang Your Laundry - Blog Entry

I love to hang out laundry especially in the spring. I find it hard to hang clothes out with a infant/toddler and homeschool. My inspiration for hanging laundry out is the Amish. Those women hang their clothes out in ALL weather. I wish I was as discplined as they are. Blessings, Laura
