OH MY GOD! I can’t believe I haven’t bought a single paper towel in one month. Have we missed them? NOPE. Not one single bit. But I will be honest and say that we pulled out leftover Christmas napkins to use for dinner. It’s a little weird using napkins that have pointsettias on them during the dead of summer..but it does make us laugh and think of the upcoming holiday season! Which..by the way…will be Kiki’s first Christmas.

So I think I’m going to invest in some good cloth napkins..maybe organic cotton if I can find them..or bamboo. I’m going to start researching today. I’ll update on my findings!

Yep. You read it right. I’m boycotting paper towels. My husband doesn’t know it yet…I’m not sure he will even notice since he doesn’t really do anything that would require a paper towel. But I’m just not going to buy them anymore. I’m quitting cold turkey and I’m not looking back. It’s actually been almost a week since we ran out and I just haven’t rushed out to buy more. Did you know that one tree can produce around 100 lbs of paper??? WOW! And..get this…there is a whole like, movement out there called These Come From Trees dedicated to the reduction/elimination of paper waste. I found their website and it’s really cool so be sure to check it. Here is the link thesecomefromtrees.blogspot.com. I know it’s not going to be easy at first..but I’m willing to be a rat in this experiment! If you think about it, I’ve already given up Swiffers..but I am hooked on baby wipes. I read somewhere that you can actually wash your disposable wipes…sounds kind of disgusting if you want to know the truth. I think I’m just going to start with paper towels and see how that goes. I’ll be sure to keep you posted!
