Summer Day 16: Just a bit of sewing

Today was a relatively good one, started off with a nice swim and tanning sesh at the pool and then went to work. Tonight the Boy is grilling for dinner! Yum!

I had a few dresses in the back of my closet that really needed some hemming that I finally got done. By hand of course, haha!

Summer Day 15: Today I recycled!

Today we took in a whole bunch of stuff to the recycling centers. We had so many plastic bags, batteries, multiple cellphones, broken electronics, light bulbs and printer cartridges just piling up in the closet. It felt so good to dispose of these things properly. Allied Waste is our local recycling service and they have a great recycling depot where we look all of our stuff in to be recycled and properly dispose of.

The Allied Waste website is very helpful when it comes to where and what to recycle. Remember light bulbs and batteries do not belong in the trash! I also found that Earh911.com has a great website that allows you to find places to recycle in your area, and Thedailygreen.com outlines the differences between types of plastics.

Remember that  grocery stores such as Albertsons, Fred Meyer and Winco have collection bins for plastic bags.  Most air-filled packaging material (not bubble wrap) and plastics such as bread bags (any #4 LDPE) can be recycled there too!

Styrofoam and bubble-wrap are probably the two hardest things to recycle. Many places do not accept them, but a lot of places online can help you find places to take packaging peanuts and the like.

And for printer ink and toner can be recycled too at stores such as Staples and OfficeMax, and if you sign up, you can get rewards for recycling them there.

Okay so we still don't know for sure the sex of baby bird but we do have a name now!

Introducing:

Tiny Dancer.

So in case you haven't read my earlier entry Summer Day 1, I am taking at least one picture a day and blogging about each day of summer. I hope that this way I will feel a sense of accomplishment and to also feel like the summer doesn't just fly by like it usually does. Its Day 13 already! Sheesh. A lot of blogging and a lot of adventures.

Summer Day 12: Oldies but Goodies

Lately I have been pulling out some old pieces of clothing and jewelry for the summer to mix things up a bit. Its amazing how some of my clothes from 8 years ago are still quite fashionable. I tend to hold on to a lot of clothes and jewelry just in case. Sometimes it makes me feel like a hoarder but it makes my closet seem like a treasure chest!

Do you keep old clothes, re-purpose them or are you never caught dead in the same outfit twice? Hope you are all having a great summer- I am!

Summer Day 11: The Oregon Coast

adventure time. Here are some pictures I took while day tripping along the Oregon Coast today.

 View from Cape Meares

 Boy at the overlook wearing his new favorite hat!

 message tee: Urban Outfitters

Cutoffs: Guess Jeans

Shoes: Old Navy

Sunglasses: Ray Ban

Bracelet: An Absinthe spoon

 Cape Meares Lighthouse.

 The Tillamook Air Museum. HUGE wooden hangar that used to house blimps used in WWII. Very fun place with a great history- I highly recommend it.

This day was truly amazing and revitalized my appreciation for the great state of Oregon (Seattle girl born and bred!). From the nature we saw on the coastline to the people we ran into, to the history of Tillamook, Oregon has earned that feather in it's cap in my eyes.

I hope you are all having great summer adventures. Don't forget to follow My Little Livelihood!
