Happy Friday 3/20/20

Happy Friday! And Happy SPRING! Given our current ‘at home’ status, we’re extra glad to be leaving winter behind and welcoming some nice weather. With all of us home 24/7, there seems to be no end to the messes. Ha! But we’re having fun, too. We’re getting outside and cutting daffodils from the yard, reading books and doing art, baking giant chocolate chip cookies that look like pizzas, ticking projects off my ‘honey to do’ list and planning our garden, and watching shows and slowing down every chance we get.

I hope you are well, staying safe, and taking what you can from this time at home. The messes can wait, right?!

We’ve been really digging Public Goods lately, a sustainability-focused, health-driven online shop. We’ve been buying their natural cleaning supplies, soaps, shampoo, deodorant (LOVE!), bamboo straws, bug spray, etc. We liked them so much we joined their affiliate program so they extended you guys a 25% off coupon (use code THEGRITPGA at this link). And take advantage of their 2-week trial if you’re not ready to become a member! (publicgoods)

Have a great weekend!
