Going Green Results

Well, after the overwhelming request (Melanie & Shawna) to see the final product. I thought I'd post a couple of pictures.

I ended up with nine bags, which means I can really shop! The bags will fit 2 gallons of milk or lots of other things. They are made out of canvas and are very sturdy. I'd like to thank my mom, my sister and other family members for all of their help.

I've been seeing a lot more people bringing their own bags into grocery stores.

They look very sturdy and cute. It looks like they are a little smaller than the Walmart bags but when you have 9 I think u'll be OK :-)

Its great not being inendated with grocery bags. I've been using my own bags for a while now and I have yet to make a dent in my "collection" of plastic bags (and I use them for ALL my garbages, even Kitchen). I decided u bring in LOTS more than you can use.

Way to take things into ur own hands!

I should really make some bags but I can't sew...I do however have lots of reusable bags, all with different stores on them (example: walmart, costco, winco, fred meyer and even a safeway one too) I use them all, but love the winco ones the best because they are waaay bigger and hold tons more stuff...

I really should learn to sew, maybe this summer I will...Congrats on your new "green" bags!

they look great. Kudos to you for remembering them when you go out. I've had some bags since July and I have yet to use them because I usually go to the store on my way home from something.

Well I know what my next project is going to be. But I think I will use funny colors since I do not have green!

Great job, they are threatening to stop all plastic bags here so you will have to use reusable bags. As it is some stores charge you for each plastic bag you use. I thought it was weird at first but now I feel like I am saving the environment, or something good like that...

Sleep? Oh, Sleep! Where are you?

Once I realized that I was going to have snore free nights, I was overjoyed! What I didn't count on though was my children. On Sunday Night (Mon. morning) all three of them decided that 4 AM would be a great time to wake up. Monday night, Hunter snuck into our bed for half the night until I took him back to his bed. The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
