Eco-Friendly Diapering & Compostable Baby Wipes for Beginners

April 9, 2024 by Claire Leave a Comment

cloth-diapers-compostable-baby-wipes-titleI was gifted Natracare compostable baby wipes for our family to try out. I was not obligated to share a review, and all opinions expressed are my own.

I’m on round three of cloth diapering my babies. I would 100% recommend it to anyone who’s serious about taking their passion for sustainability (or frugality) into the parenting phase of life. There is definitely a learning curve, however! That’s why I’m writing this post: to share my best tips for eco-friendly diapering and wipes with you.… Read More »

Wardrobe Revamp, Part 3: Knickey Underwear Review

March 3, 2022 by Claire Leave a Comment

Just to clarify (hehe), this post is NOT sponsored by Knickey. I’m simply sharing a new-to-me product that I’ve tried and want to review for you!

Update 10/2023: My underwear purchased for this review is still going strong 18 months later. It basically looks like new! No holes, fraying, or stretched out elastic… Knickey is definitely a high-quality brand.

Last year, I decided to update my wardrobe for my new mom life. I sold or donated most of the things I bought in high school or college, and I’m in the process of rebuilding my wardrobe and refining my style to fit a 27-year-old mom of two.

However, while focusing on finding tops, jeans, dresses, etc. that I love–for a while I kind of forgot about the most essential wardrobe item: underwear. And yes, my Modest Millie self is totally cringing that I’m actually writing about this–but I think it will be helpful to anyone out there who finds themself in a similar, underwear-less situation.… Read More »

Cutting the Cord: We Cancelled Our Amazon Prime Membership

August 10, 2021 by Claire Leave a Comment

Why I do what I do: a better future for our kids.

After a thoroughly depressing past month in climate news (see the most recent IPCC report, this photo that went viral on social media, and all the smoke in my backyard), Eric and I are deep-diving back into sustainable living.

It hasn’t been at the forefront of my mind with young kids, honestly. We have some good habits, like using cloth diapers, reusable dishrags and wool dryer balls. We get our vegetables from a local CSA and our beef, milk and eggs from a local farmer with reusable containers. And I buy almost exclusively secondhand clothing for myself and the kids (anyone know of a source for men besides Goodwill? Ugh).… Read More »

Is Eating Tuna Bad for the Environment?

May 30, 2018 by Claire Leave a Comment

There are five main species of tuna, each with a different conservation status. Learn what to look for when shopping for tuna, and why you should care if tuna go extinct.This is one of the food industry topics that I have been asked to write about on the blog. Tuna is a popular fish choice for many people due to its cost and relatively mild flavor. Because of this, I thought that it was a great suggestion and I want to cover it in detail, like I did with shrimp a few weeks ago.

Note: When you Google search “Is eating tuna bad for the environment?”, all of the suggested searches are about how much tuna can be consumed per week due to the accumulation of heavy metals (such as mercury) in its tissues. This post will not deal with health ramifications of eating tuna, although it is a valid concern. Instead, I would like to talk about the environmental issues associated with tuna fishing.… Read More »

Why & How to Shop for Secondhand Clothes

April 15, 2018 by Claire Leave a Comment

secondhand-clothes-titleEric and I have bought lots of things secondhand over the past few years: furniture, textbooks, our car, my engagement ring. In the past couple of years I’ve bought more and more secondhand clothes, too. From talking with friends and family and observing their behavior with regards to clothes shopping, I’ve come to realize that there is a lot of mystery and some negative stereotypes associated with buying secondhand. I’d like to talk through them, based on my own experiences!… Read More »
