With Little One entering Junior Kindergarten in a few short weeks (seriously, how did that happen?! Seems like just yesterday she entered our lives!), I'm getting nervous excited about her first day of school.

Don't get me wrong. I am thrilled about all the fun she's going to have and am excited about all the new things she'll be learning. I'm just sad to let go of my baby girl. She's turning into a big girl now. *sob*

I have to admit, it has been pretty exciting getting her ready and prepared for what will happen in a few weeks. What's more fun than getting school supplies? Am I the only one that gets this excited about school supplies?  The most exciting thing for me with regard to school supplies has got to be the idea of "litterless lunches"!

As a person who has always been involved in environmental groups and committees (even had position as secretary for said groups in college and university), I want to make sure to send Little One to school with reusable food containers, a reusable water/drink bottle, reusable cutlery, and a reusable lunch bag or lunch box. I'd like to teach Little One to tread as lightly on the Earth as possible and teach her how to make wise decisions when it comes to treating our planet with respect and keeping in mind the impact we have on the environment.  She's only 3.5 years old, but she 'gets it'.


Lavish & Lime sources unique, contemporary products that kids love.  They just happen to be good for kids and the planet too - because they should.  Green is no longer a fad. It's a way of life and the smartest, most efficient way to do things when all true costs are taken into account.  Buying a reusable sandwich wrap can last an entire school year, making it a smart eco-choice because it saves you money and reduces the number of baggies going into the landfill.
