So, I talked to my mom today and she shared some awesome news with me! My mom has noticed and asked about my low waste choices and started making changes in her life too! And yesterday HER mother in law got to talking with my mom and was inspired by her and all she had learned about from me that she's no longer going to buy styrofoam products for her office and home!

You know, I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm feeling really good! I've been eating better since the challenge started and avoiding convenient, single serving snacks bc of the challenge. Things like chips and candy that seems to abound now that I'm avoiding them... But honestly feeling really good! So is baby Nichola 😀

Dinner tonight is mixed rice, sweet potato, homemade hummus and fried egg.
