I have used reusable cups most of the time for church events, work events and when I buy drinks at Starbucks. however this year I used 3 paper cups this year because I didn't have my cups with me. This is typically a lot for the year. I try to reuse my plastic bags by washing them and reusing them. I always use my own bags at the grocery store. I use my own plates and utensils when I go to pot lucks. I am use to this so it is not an inconvenience.

  I am so thankful for the option to work from home if I need or want to. It is SUCH a gift. I start my workday from home every morning and then go to the office once I get my kids off to school. I thought I would only want to work from home for ever once that started during the pandemic, but not so much!! I don't have a good, dedicated workspace in my small home and can sometimes get too distracted. However, if I have a sick kid, or if I have a cold but still feel well enough to work, I don't have to use PTO anymore to cover it. I can work from home! Yippeeee! Just having the option is an incredible gift.

I sewed 3 items of clothing this month. I made a bathrobe for my son, a sweat shirt for my husband and a top for me. I hemmed my pants and altered a top. I crocheted a scrubbie for my dishes.
