I have had the flu so I am behind on getting book reviews and other reviews posted. Please be patient with me as I get caught up on all those as well as get caught up on emails.

You will see many posts in one day until I get caught back up so I apologize in advance for overloading your feed reader.

Thank you for understanding.

Have a lot of plastic grocery bags?

I just found the neatest idea on how to “store” all those plastic grocery bags.

Check this out:  Plastic Grocery Bag Origami  Isn’t that the niftiest idea?  Reminds you of all those paper footballs you probably made in school.

I’m trying to use my reusable cloth shopping bags more and more when I do go to the store but there are times I still end up with some plastic grocery bags… which gets recycled in our bathroom trash cans as well as a trash bag in the van.

If we get an over abundance of them, I take the bags to a local thrift store that reuses them as shopping bags or I will drop them off in a bin at the local grocery store.

As I type this, 4 of my children are over here in the floor behind me happily making “plastic bag footballs” and keeping cool inside because it is sweltering outside here today.

I do this too! I learnt this trick about 7 years ago from a friend of my husband's who serves in the Australian Army. He is complete neat-freak and practically folded his bags before putting the groceries away (with all labels facing forward, of course).
