With having had to replace a lot of things in the past couple of months I’m often found browsing around on google after the munchkin has gone to bed looking for the best buy that I can find on our limited budget, and finding out which things are necessities to be replaced and which things we can hold off on or find a way to do without.

I’m doing a lot of repairing of parts rather than replacing of wholes, and in our house we’re also running certain things out and replacing them with natural alternatives. I was gratified to find out that my host has been working on lowering their carbon footprint for many years and pride themselves on being eco-friendly. We have energy saving bulbs throughout our house, and I use a steam mop to clean the floors so that I don’t have to use chemicals on the floor, which is good for both the environment and my son and cat.

I’ll talk more about being eco-friendly in a bit, right now I have to do some more things away from the keyboard for a little while.
