Making your own pillows is super easy (even for a newbie sewer like me) and it’s a fun way to keep yourself occupied during this time where we are all required to physically distancing and keep to ourselves.

While scrolling through instagram I noticed many home decor influencers had lovely round pillows with pom pom’s on them. I thought they were so cute and fun but checking out the online price of them (upwards of $150 a pillow) I decided to take a crack at making some myself.

11 Practical Ways To Reduce Single Plastic Use

Easy solutions for busy mom’s to cut down on single-Use Plastics

There has been a lot of discussion lately about our overuse of single-use plastics and the harmful effects they are having on our environment. The recent coverage in the news has made me take a closer look at my own single plastic consumption in the home and thinking about practical ways that I can cut down, or cut back on the amount of plastic we throw out. For so long we thought we were recycling all the plastic that goes into the blue bags but as it turns out Canada only recycles about %10 of our plastics and what we are unable to recycle we’ve been shipping off to poorer Asian Countries. Those countries are now taking a stand against the rich world’s plastic waste signalling a change in the global recycling system. There is a growing movement against non- recyclable plastic.
