I initially planned to replace just my purse pack tissues with handkerchiefs, but I've stashed a few around the house, too, and I'm using them instead of regular tissues at home. There's a lot of packaging in those bitsy packs, and there doesn't seem to be a paper-from-paper alternative. It's the kind of habit that's so easy to change, it's amazing it never occurred to me before this challenge, so thank you for sparking the idea.

Working on the paper towels, but around the base of the toilet...i just want to throw away anything that goes there. (i'm a momma of young boys.)

I made up some little snack bags for my son in a cute John Deere print fabric. For food items (lettuce, half used onion, etc.) I still have a huge urge to grab a plastic baggie, but manage to find another solution by asking "What would I do if I was out of baggies - what would I use instead?" So far I seem to gravitate to the tupperware containers, which I plan to ditch eventually as well but...baby steps I guess! I’m doing well with ditching the ziplock baggies.

I don't miss my swiffer at all though I do still find myself missing the convenience of paper towels. I will not miss the price though! With toddler twins we were going thru a roll ever 2 or 3 days! I've also switched to cloth diapers and it seems to be going well so far. My mom sewed me about 25 all-in-one diapers and I'm using bio-degradable rice paper inserts to make it even easier!
