Angie – 
I volunteered to be Room Mom. This is a task that I have always shied away from, it’s something I wanted to do but didn’t want to over commit and fail my child (and the teachers and other mothers.) When the Munchkin started pre-school the twins were new, only about 5 months old so I had put in my mind that I would do my time as Room Mom once all the kids were in school and I had more time to devote to those little extras. This year there was a need and I agreed. I’ve been assured that it’s mostly just reminding the other Moms via email (which I can rock) who brings goldfish and who drives on the field trips. I can’t speak yet to whether or not I would do it again as I haven’t really done anything yet. If you have any tips, throw them my way!
Trish –
My new thing this week was a Brita water filter. I go green when it makes sense, but one area I’ve been resistant is water bottles. I like them. I like seeing them lined up row after row in my fridge. I like grabbing one and walking away. But I decided to try something else, something that I have always viewed as incapable of working. I bought a Brita water filter and so far so good. It’s cheaper (which ties in to my many budget new things) and it’s green.
