Our (somewhat) minimalist, dollar savvy baby.

see what I'm up to today!

It’s not easier, it takes planning ahead, thinking it through and doing laundry when you don’t want to. But, you CAN cloth diaper when you’re on the road. Especially when your mother-in-law has such an excellent clothesline!👌🏼

#letmebefranke and give full disclosure: I’m not doing this alone. I have a husband who is equally committed to wanting to see a change in the world and doesn’t mind *at alllllllll* to hang a diaper on the line. This also comes naturally to me because I have always been a way-ahead-planner (thanks mom) AND we used disposable wipes, ate chips from awful bags that will outlive us, smokies and buns from plastic packing, plus a ton of other definitely not low waste things. This will never be perfect but we can aim to get better and better and better. 🌷
.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend maybe celebrating a father or two. We had a bittersweet gathering for my late father-in-law in Marty’s hometown. Tears, laughs, cousins, beer + sunshine - he would have loved it. 💚

bear with me (as usual 😝):
.
My kitchen is improperly wired. When my dishwasher is running and you turn on the microwave, the whole kitchen looses power (something we are going to fix when we reno the kitchen, sometime in the next 50-70 years). ⚡️
.
This evening I was making chocolate avocado zucchini muffins and when melting the coconut oil (basic, much?) the kitchen went dark (for the second time today) and the words that left my mouth were, “for faaaacccck’s sake” (sorry, mom). 🤷🏽‍♀️
.
The second thought that spewed out was (sorry for the graphic image), “this is nothing compared to collecting and bagging human WWII remains.” 😑
.
Marty’s Oma and Opa visited today and Opa told us all about how when he was 7 or 8, after the war, him and all the kids in their village would be taken in a Jeep like vehicle to go to various fields, homes, gardens, etc and clean up atrocious things. Unfathomable. 💔
.
If daily you can let GRATITUDE + PERSPECTIVE *sink in* you can change your life. I’m certain that’s the whole point of this ride. ✨

(This is the painting I did live for my pal @rzechowka’s fight against MS and it went for $500, it’s getting delivered tomorrow and I’m still in awe! SO LUCKY TO LIVE THIS LIFE.) 🍀

As promised! 😝

Though (I can’t get away from it!) the ‘sustainability’ side of me has always been here in one way or another. This is a second hand hutch, painted with a mixture of leftover paints, filled with thrifted/vintage/handed-down items. You are who you ARE! 🌟 #refurbitfranke

PSA! Bulk Barn changed their ‘fill your own container’ size guidelines - they must be a minimum of 3 inches across the top opening. (The gal at the store said too many people were making huge messes trying to fill tiny jars. 😂) Guess that means bigger jars of candy! 🤷🏽‍♀️ #bulkbarn
