    Curbside recycling will accept a lot of things. What they don't pick up (i.e., scrap metal, hard plastics, clam shell containers and plastic bags) we take to our local recycling center and grocery store for additional recycling options.

    Singing in the shower - I extended the 5 minute shower idea to my family by challenging each person to play their favorite song (around 5 minutes) during their shower and finish up before their song came to an end.
