Reusable

Eco-Friendly Alternatives for Your Home

by Ashley Mullen

We often don’t take the time to think about where our products come from and the impact they have on our planet. Things like everyday kitchen gadgets, cleaning supplies, and health care tools all have eco-friendly alternatives that can help reduce or eliminate waste in your daily life.

I have been thinking more about reusable and more eco-friendly products for in our home. I want to share the things that we have been using, and the ways that we have been saving money by being more eco-friendly.

In the Kitchen

These are things we do, with the exception of the coffee filters. I would love to try the reusable coffee filters but at least here they are compostable.

  • Silicone Muffin Liners – my favorite thing to bake muffins and cupcakes in
  • Silicone baking mats
  • K-cup Filter
  • Tea Infuser – all we use here
  • Coffee Filter

Cleaning

I have been using dryer balls for too many years to count. I got my first set of wool dryer balls as a giveaway that I won if my memory is correct.

  • Dryer balls
  • Dish scrubbies – I had no idea about these, I love my set.

Bathroom

I love my make up remover pads. I crocheted mine a few years ago, and I always feel like my make up actually came off compared to commercial make-up remover clothes.

  • Make-up remover pads
  • Reusable menstrual pads
  • Menstrual cup
  • Period panties

Baby Stuff

I used and loved these with my last two babies. Fluffy (cloth diaper) bums are just so cute, plus there are as many awesome prints.

  • Cloth diapers
  • Cloth wipes
  • Reusable food pouches
  • Nursing Pads

Be Eco-Friendly On the Go

I use all of these. I love my multiple coffee mugs. I love the coffee cozies that I have crocheted as well though I don’t use them that often anymore.

My rule when grocery shopping is that if I forgot my bags in the vehicle then we carry them out. I am good at returning my bags to the truck so 90% of the time I have bags.

  • Re-usable coffee cup
  • Coffee cup cozy
  • Reusable water bottles
  • Reusable grocery bags

Yummi Pouch – Reusable Food Pouches Review

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

I when I was contacted to review these reusable pouches a few weeks ago, having never used food pouches before I was very interested in trying them. And I was secretly hoping that they would arrive before we left for our vacation and wasn’t disappointed.

The day before leaving I rinsed and (air) dried them and the set about filling them. Apple sauce and pudding. It was easy peasy. There is nothing to filling them, they stand up on their own making it easy. There is a fill line on the back of them, they open and close ziploc style. I popped ours straight into the freezer for cool snack along the way.
