Recyclable K-cups


Finally a k-cup that is recyclable. Sure k-cups are convenient, but we did think of how much was going into the landfills.  With Nature Cups  you can have the best of both worlds convenience and recyclability,

The best part for us is that these actually fit and work in our 2.0 as well, which has been a big problem with the upgrade in finding k-cups that work with it.

We also of course have the refillable pods to use his other favorite coffees in as well. It is just nice having a choice of being good to the planet over just filling it with more junk.

My husband also said that this coffee tastes good so that is alway a plus.

You can find Nature Cups on Amazon.

In fact, there are enough non-recyclable K-Cups sitting in landfills right now to circle the earth 14 TIMES!

Reusable Produce Bags



 Trying to be more green as a family is something we have been implementing since we were young parents years ago. Some years are better then others, but little changes make for a big changes over time.

Our new green step is to use reusable product bags instead of using the plastic bags at the store. So far so good and many people have asked me where I got them from so here I am letting everyone know.

This set comes with 5 bag which is good but I think we need another set to have enough for our bigger shopping trips.

Plastic bags don't let the fruit breath but these bags make sure that there is air flow to keep the produce from getting condensation built up in the bag.

When they get dirty I just throw them in a laundry bag, which by the way these can be used for as well, wash without fabric softener, then hang to dry.

You can find these produce bags on Amazon.



We produce high-quality, lightweight, washable and reusable produce mesh bags for fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. Other uses include storage, or even laundry.

Toe Socks even my daughter can love




One thing my daughter Dennise likes to wear are toe sock but with having larger feet it is near impossible to find her regular girl socks much less toe socks that fit her large lady feet

Thankfully they are now making toe socks in men's sizes so now she can enjoy wearing toe socks just like when she was little.

She just gets so excited and this time instead of having a whole package with one set of colors she has 5 different colors to choose from although because her smaller sister has bigger feet then she did at the same age and posed for the picture she was able to pick out one pair for herself.

Now I have two girls with huge feet that want toe socks. I  just wish that the people who made ladies socks would make bigger socks all the way around from regular to toe socks. Not every girl has tiny princess feet. Maybe FuzzyGreen will make larger colorful socks for women.

You can find these toe socks in 3 and 5 packs on Amazon.

Packing Tape





My husband does lots of ebay shopping as well as selling, He also organizes all of my review items, as well as our other items that are packed away until needed for use.

Having good packing tape makes the job that much easier when you are trying to streamline what ever you are doing.

My husband loved the tape but he he tossed the dispenser and used his old one from a different company. He said the quality was in the tape, just not in the dispenser.

Even taking into account they send you 6 rolls of tape and not so good dispenser, the value for what you get is still there.



You can find this packing tape on Amazon.
