We also bring along our own water bottles everywhere we go – saves TONS on beverages. At the amusement park this weekend (three-for-one thanks to our local library reading program and our daughter), drinks cost $3.75 each – yikes!

Something we have been doing in my family for many, many years!

In other words, I am trying to think about the lifespan of the packaging. I did buy balloons and plastic/paper plates, forks, and napkins for my sister’s party next week because I haven’t been able to think of a good alternative in a hurry, but one thing at a time.
