Busy Monday 323

Last month my goal was to buy a reusable water bottle to carry with me to replace the purchased water bottles that I take to meetings, in the car and wherever else I might go.  Check.  And this month I want to take the reusable bags into the grocery store instead of letting them stay in the trunk.  Didn’t plan that out too well — we’d been out for the weekend and emptied the trunk of all but the essentials of the moment.  So I had one large bag to left to take in with me. I did.  And found some really cute gray and white chevron patterned heavy duty reusable bags to buy in the store.  I forgot to take them in when I made the Target run, but even if I only use them when I buy groceries there will be a substantial decrease in plastic bags coming in!  I used to do such things as a matter of course until we started full time renovating, moving and renovating again.  It’s time to get back in the habit!!!  Thanks to you for stopping by to share your great ideas this week.
