This is not another blog post trying to convince you to buy more reusable bags, water bottles or containers. Don’t get me wrong, we use all those things already, so our family is already being less wasteful. However, the longer my boys are in school, the more I realize, I’m…

I know I’m not the only one in this situation. Here’s the scenario: you’ve made yourself an office. Whether it is an actual room, a corner in the home or a nook under the stairs, you have a place to work. However, it always seems like this area becomes the…
