Life, Love, & Laundry

This month we are taking on a pretty big change for our family but it is one we feel is important.  We are going to be giving up plastic baggies in our everyday life.  Most of us call them zip lock bags from the brand name, sort of like Kleenex or Kraft Dinner.  This may seem to some of you like not that difficult to do while for others you may be thinking there is no way you could give up zip lock bags.  This is a very big deal for us, as we were very much a baggie family....
