Practical(ly) Zero Waste

I finally participated in Loop Store, the company partnering with big brands to offer products in reusable, returnable packaging to build circularity into our economy. Also, here's a handful of my favourite podcasts to get you through the tough times because darn it, there are too many of those lately. I also mention that I love British comedy panel shows, links to all that and more below:

I usually don't enjoy parenting books and feel like either methods don't work or I'm a bad parent or something.

Anyways, hear me review that and other parenting related things on this week's minisode, plus links below to what I talk about!
