Reusable Bag Feature Round Up

Reusable Bag Challenge Update - How Did Your Entire Month Go?

This month we’ve all been working hard on the reusable bag challenge. Now is your chance to tell us how you did.

BYOB Challenge Update!!!

Go me… Go me!
So far, I’m only in for one bag - my previously mentioned lame movie store situation bag. I haven’t used that one bag for anything yet though. I decided to place it by the door to the garage. This way, when we’re on the way out, I see it and think “LAME” […]
