Plastic Elimination

Here are three ways I'm eliminating plastics in my home:

1. Use freezer/butcher paper to freeze products.
2. Use wax paper to wrap sandwiches for lunches
3. Use mason jars to store foods and leftovers in the fridge and pantry

I posted below before I saw this. When I was younger mom would wrap our sandwiches in wax paper and stick shut with a piece of tap (could use cute stickers now) and even made little bags for our chips with wax paper. Our food was always fresh.

Thanks for sharing this, Kate! I like the idea of using Mason Jars for food. I use pyrex, which still has a plastic top.

I like Mason Jars too. I use foil as I can recycle it when I'm done.

What if hubby has a job where he can heat up leftovers? Any ideas for eliminating plastic there?
I love the idea of the mason jars for leftovers. I would love to open my fridge to see a row of mason jars lined up with food!

just curious, why do you want to cut down on the use of plastic? Is it unhealthy? Again, just curious.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
