Thanks for all of the sources, all of these look really interesting.
Thanks for linking me and rounding your faves.
I wanted to do more with Blog Action Day, but timing was weird for me this year. I had already committed to going on a trip that week with family and didn’t have computer access, so the one post scheduled ahead was all I could do.
I’m down to about 12 or so boxes to unpack! And the minor setback of the garage door breaking…. Other than that, loving the new house.
Speaking of water, I need to read more about good shower heads. I saw an EcoFlow brand, but didn’t get that one because I haven’t researched it yet.
Also, I bought a refrigerator without a built in water filter/dispenser, so I’m thinking about those you get that go under the sink. I have a Brita pitcher now, but it does get tiresome to refill it all the time. However, I’m not really sure I need a filter at all. The water is so much better tasting here than many places I’ve visited! I’ve gone with the Brita pitcher because I like really cold water to drink.
Last year I was sick, and did almost nothing. This year I decided I’d make up for it. I gotta get on Skype so we can chat about the house. Glad you’re almost unpacked!
