Today is International Day of Awareness on Food Lo

Today is International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction - it’s quite a mouthful but there are many areas of food waste.

There is of course the food we waste at home, when we don’t eat everything before it goes bad or the food scraps that get wasted when cooking.

Then there’s the 14% of food that is lost between harvest and retail plus even more wasted at retail when things go past their date and have to be thrown out.

What about the fact that 1 in 9 people go to bed hungry in the world whereas others can head to a grocery store piled with food and take their pick among both local and international products.

And the pandemic has brought its own issues surrounding food waste & insecurity. With supply chain issues and consumer stockpiling, grocery stores have trouble keeping their shelves filled and so have nothing to donate to food banks. Those who don’t have the funds to purchase a month’s worth of pantry staples at one time lose out when others come in and purchase way more than they need. And some of the panic buying led to additional food waste when items went bad before they could be eaten.

We need to be aware of these issues more than ever before, both around the globe and in our own neighbourhoods. Visit the link in my bio to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN site for more key takeaways and 3 innovations that are helping to reduce food waste.

As shorts weather comes to an end, I’ve got an end of season sale for you! I have a few nature craft kits left and am selling them for $35 (instead of $45)

Included are supplies to make 5 crafts and learn about the environment. The bug hotel is perfect to get set up before winter to give pollinators a safe space in your garden to hide.

Also included is a solar paper craft, wildflower seed balls, leaf rubbing bookmark and plant person - all of which can still be made. Look through my nature crafts highlight to see more details or DM for more info and to order! There are only a few left so will be gone this week!

I received some photos from a backyard baby shower

I received some photos from a backyard baby shower hosted last weekend. It included a new decor set that I haven’t had the chance to photograph yet so here are a few photos.

I love how the “she’s about to pop” sign turned out! There’s also a few greenery hoops and a green “oh baby” banner!

Congratulations @kailajay! I hope you enjoyed! And thank you @cbriks for taking these photos 😘

As we head into fall, the gardening season slowly

As we head into fall, the gardening season slowly comes to an end. I’m going to be sharing a few things I do or am trying this year to make the most of what’s left in my garden and prepare it for next year.

I’m starting with drying some herbs. Every year I say I’m going to do this but then the frost comes and they wither away before I do it. So this year I’ve cut off some basil and oregano to hand dry. I also plan to move small portions of the herbs to pots inside to keep fresh herbs growing as long as I can keep them alive.

One other thing I want to try is bring in fresh herbs, cut them up and freeze them in an ice cube tray with olive oil. Has anyone done this? Do you find the herbs are as good as fresh when you use them? Let me know your herb saving tips below! ⬇️

Did you know that it’s National Tree Day??

I have a lot to thank trees for this year. They provided some much needed shade in my backyard during the incredibly hot summer we had. They helped improve my mental health as I walked/ran on the trails behind my house during lockdown and now they’ve started changing colours (at least up north) and were glorious to look at while canoeing the last few days in Algonquin Park.

What are you grateful to trees for?

This Saturday is World Clean-up day. Summer had many getting outside and exploring new trails but that meant litter! How many masks have you seen littering the ground? Did you know that the loops of masks have been found getting caught on wildlife?

Join @ecohamilton by choosing an area near you to do some cleanup this weekend. Whether it’s a trail, the streets around your house or your local park. Swipe through to read how to participate and keep yourself safe.

How cute is this concession stand that @_thebrickhouseart_ sent me from her daughter’s birthday last weekend? She rented my concession stand tent and completed it with snacks and even an attendant to “sell” the snacks! 😍

So clever and creative! I love seeing the way clients use decor rentals in different ways!

Low waste travel toiletries - I use @unwrappedlife

Low waste travel toiletries - I use @unwrappedlife shampoo and conditioner bars at home and bringing them away is so convenient. I have tins to carry my bars and then I use elastics to create soap dishes with the tins. This ensures the bars dry out so they last longer.

For body wash, I have a refillable squeeze bottle that is the perfect size for traveling and I just fill it with my regular body wash.

How do you keep your travel toiletries low waste?

Happy birthday to me! 🥳 This photo is from my b

Happy birthday to me! 🥳 This photo is from my big 3-0 last year. It was just before friends started arriving for our first party at our somewhat renovated house.

I can’t believe how different this year is! I think back so fondly to this party put on by my besties and Andrew and I promise to never take a hug for granted again! I’ve become much better friends with my garden this year and the trails around our home. I’ve learned a lot about what truly is important to me and what things just aren’t.

Today will be very different than last year as we self quarantine so we can bubble with those same besties at a cottage this week. But for my birthday gift this year - I’d love if the Raps could pull out a win tonight. That’ll work right!?

Last weekend was the first wedding I worked in 202

Last weekend was the first wedding I worked in 2020 which is absolutely bonkers. It felt so great to get back to helping couples out as their day-of coordinator, ensuring their stress levels stay down and that they can stay focused on their big day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little eco-friendly tip - try potted plants instead of floral arrangements as centrepieces. You can give them away to guests at the end if you have too many but they will last much longer than cut flowers. These gorgeous pots were hand painted by the groom’s mom so that the plants weren’t just in plain pots.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tag someone getting married or let them know that I’d love to help with their big day and help make their wedding more sustainable. DM me to get my day-of coordination package!

New theme alert! 🚨 ⚾️

Here’s our new Rookie Of the Year theme. This theme can be rented with the one year old banners or without if the party is for older kids.

Perfect for little athletes and great for those outdoor BBQs while we still have some warm weather. Lot’s of fabric and wood in this theme to keep things reusable for a long time.

What do you think of this new theme??

Happy birthday to my mama!! September 1st! We had

Happy birthday to my mama!! September 1st! We had a lovely backyard celebration on the weekend and I used my luau themed fabric backdrop to grab a few photos.

My mom is definitely where I got my creative, crafty skills from. If I ever have a decor idea that I’m not quite sure how to execute- she will find a way. Most recently, she’s been teaching me how to use the sewing machine for decor projects. She’s also incredibly talented with a brush. I think she should sell her watercolours - we have a few up in our house of favourite places we’ve traveled.

She also has been upcycling before that word was commonplace. She keeps everything that could be useful for crafts, home DIY projects and more. She also taught me the value of mending things instead of replacing them from a young age.

Here are a few photos from our celebration on Sunday. 🥳🥰 @glasfryngirl

The last day of August. I can hardly believe it. You can definitely feel the change in the weather - can finally enjoy the sunshine without sweltering.

It’s been a weird summer to say the least. Still a few lake weekends to enjoy - we don’t know what winter has in store for us so just trying to soak in every last drop of nice weather that I can.

What’s one more thing you want to do before the weather turns cold this year?

Taco Tuesday anyone? Let’s fiesta - I know last

Taco Tuesday anyone? Let’s fiesta - I know last week I was taking about fall in the air but we’ve been back to the heat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The fiesta decor rental package comes with colourful string lights, fake flowers, cacti, a banner and a piñata for decor. It also comes with a cacti milestone banner that you can hang photos up with - perfect if it’s baby’s first birthday but also works for sharing other photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What food would you be more excited about at a fiesta party? Mine would definitely be homemade guacamole! 🥑

Have you tried making crafts with recyclables? I made some boats out of wine corks, toothpicks, leftover card stock and a used cream container.
⛵️
Then we played with them in the pool to see what floated best and how fast they could go without toppling. For older kids, have them try different designs and materials to see how they float differently.

What’s the last way you reused recyclables? Comment below!

Today I want to give a shoutout to the local farme

Today I want to give a shoutout to the local farmers and growers. We are now into the best time of year for Ontario produce and these folks deserve a giant thank you!
🥕
As someone who is trying to grow a few vegetables, the amount of work & time it takes is astounding! But the taste of these locally grown crops are like nothing else! I’ve been getting the produce box from @buttrumsfarm and these $40 boxes have been getting larger and more delicious all summer.
🥬
I also love to follow @sundanceharvest who focuses on food justice and provides some amazing urban farming tips! I also love watching @kelseyrowden_ stories to see some of their farming process. Both of these accounts show how much work and dedication goes into growing fresh produce.
🍅
Tag your favourite local grower to show them some love!

Do you feel the cool breeze of fall in the air? I feel like the air has shifted in the last week. Here’s a little glimpse of my ice princess decor theme.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hanging paper lanterns are a great eco-friendly alternative to balloons. Hang them from the ceiling or group them in bunches to make a backdrop display using a variety of sizes and shapes. Collapse them after the party and reuse them again and again. This set comes with 11 paper lanterns in silver, turquoise and white.

In many ways this summer has been very different than the ones in years past. One thing that hasn’t changed is my love of a good sunset, campfire and hike. 2020 so far has put a lot of things into perspective.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The realization that I can live with minimal shopping and no dining out but can’t part with a daily walk outdoors has definitely opened my eyes. Having group gatherings with friends and family is also something I miss a lot!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am however thankful that we’ve had the chance to get outside and stay socially distant while enjoying some of our favourite things and taking things a little slower this year. 2020 has still dealt all the sh*t but I can appreciate some of the perspective it’s given me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for taking this photo @katatttak - from July when we saw this incredible sunset as the waves of Lake Huron crashed on the shore.

Low waste laundry tips!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did a poll last week asking how many people hung their laundry, threw everything in the dryer or did some combo of both. People overwhelmingly said hang or a mix of both. 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally I do a mix of both with a majority of items hung. Here are a few tips I find helpful.
👕 consolidate loads to go into the dryer. I do 3 loads of laundry before turning on the dryer so items from each load go in and wait for a fuller dryer load before turning it on.
👖 use dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. No chemicals to harm the environment and no waste.
👗 hang what you can. Your clothes will look better for longer and you’ll use less energy.
👚 wash as much as you can with cold water and use laundry detergent that is refillable or try the eco laundry strips
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any other eco-friendly laundry hacks?
