    I am so happy to have completed these challenges. They don't feel like challenges anymore. More like a routine.

    We replaced cow mik with almond milk. Taste good and much healthier than cow milk.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Try a New Way to Prep
    Canning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?

    I would like to try to pickle cabbage and beet
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    I think the hardest part is we are constantly on the move. While traveling on the car, it is hard to remember to bring a reuseable cup. I started to keep an insulated mug in my car at all time and try to make a habit to refill it before I leave the house.
