Composting Made Easy

We compost our products, from kitchen waste, dryer lint, newspapers, leaves, garden plants at the end of the season, etc. With that we have been building a compost pile which we use for our garden.
Most people who compost will have a bowl or container on their kitchen counter or somewhere near to store their compostable products.

In the summer months you deal with fruit flies, smells, etc if the bowl or container is not emptied out daily or washed. Our daughter would usually take out the bowl when it was pretty much overflowing which in the summer she would be reminded with fruit flies, and a very yucky smell.

When I saw this compost pail we just had to give it a try. and try it we did. Heaven pure heaven. Has a pretty big area for storage so it can last a few days depending on kitchen use, a sturdy handle for carrying it back and forth to the compost pile. No more broken handles from the ice cream containers we were using.

This also has a top that keeps out the fruit flies and other crawlies. It has a charcoal filter which keeps smells pretty much none existent. I love that it has a top because now my daughter knows if the top doesn't fit on then it needs to be emptied. No more overflowing bowls on my counter.

Last but not least this looks great on my counter top. No more ugly bowls or ice cream containers. This compost pail truly fits our family to a tee.

You can find the Estilo Stainless Steel compost pail on Amazon.

Stainless Steel Compost Pail provides temporary storage for fruit & vegetable peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags and other kitchen scraps to transfer to garden composter.

Let Microfiber do the work for you

Our family has tried to be as frugal and green as we can. We like products that can do multiple jobs. Micro fiber towels are one of those products.that I can go around our whole home, wiping, cleaning, and sprucing up along the way.

Amazing how much work they can do and the results are wonderful too. Remember wash in cold water and hang to dry to keep your microfiber towels working their best.

Most of the time I use just Vinegar and water to clean with. The Microfiber does the rest.


Below you can see our before and after pictures of our back CUV window. All I used was the microfiber and about a quarter size piece of the cloth wet with vinegar.

SunLabz D-Rechargeable Batteries NiMH 10000mAh

Our family has been using rechargeable batteries for years. I would like to say that we only use rechargeable batteries but that would be a lie. The main reason we don't is because we didn't know they made other sizes other then AA and AAA, but now that we do we are going to order other size batteries as well as a charger that can keep our batteries charged. 

Being parents means lots of toys that take batteries. The first thing we look for when buying a toy is if it is rechargeable or not. That usually has a big impact on if we buy it at all, but there are some toys that take regular batteries that you can install rechargeable batteries so we sometimes will break down and purchase these as well. 

These would have been real sweet back when we had to replace D size batteries in our baby swing, would have saved a lot of money.

You can purchase SunLabz D-Rechargeable Batteries NiMH 10000mAh on Amazon.

What Sun Labz has to say about their product.
*Please note that batteries come partially charged to maximize storage life. Charge before using.

CHOOSE RECHARGEABLE: SunLabz s mission is to provide smart energy solutions that will encourage more people to switch to rechargeable batteries and other Eco-friendly energy sources. In the United States alone, each year 2.9 billion batteries are thrown away with 179,000 Tons of them ending up in Landfills. By taking a small step through switching to rechargeable batteries and recycling old cells we can make a difference together!

MAKE A SMART FINANCIAL CHOICE: Because our cells last longer and can be recharged over and over again you can now save on buying and throwing away expensive single use batteries. With the average US household buying up to 120 batteries a year, costs can quickly accumulate. Removing the dependence on single use cells is not only a smart ecological choice it is also the right financial choice.

GET MORE CHARGE CYCLES: SunLabz s batteries can be recharged 1000x times, this means you are getting more out of each cell and can depend on their quality for any applications from cameras to flashlights, remote controls and more.
