Meet Kat
And her schnoodle, Cosette
Thank you for being here today! You seem like a peach! I'm a social expressions writer who's passionate about sustainability, animals, creative gift-giving, thoughtful ways to appreciate what we already have, and the homebody life. As someone who has a major tendency to shop much too much, I'm turning over a new leaf to buy less and give more. I'm learning to enjoy within my means. I started this blog to share nifty life tips that have guided my journey, ideas for creating eco-friendly habits, and ways to make a more empathetic world. I'm honored you're here. Fair Warning: My sweet dogter, Cosette, and favorite Renaissance man, Jon, also make guest appearances. They're happy you're here, too. (And I didn't tell them to say that!)
