My campaign...

Wed, Dec 10 2008 at 11:42 PM EST

...to promote Brita Water Pitcher Filter recycling continues.

I use a Brita water pitcher at our house. It's nice because we've moved all over Atlanta and it's a nice way to make sure our water always kinda tastes the same. It's also just a good way to keep tap water cold in the fridge, which could be achieved by a more rudimentary end (ie a regular pitcher) but this one makes it taste so nice. :)

Until now, though, I've just been throwing away the used filters every 2-3 (or oops, in our case, 5-6) months when I replace them.

Green without thinking...

Wed, Nov 26 2008 at 6:37 PM EST

I've noticed now that as I go through my day, I definitely do things around the house and at work that are just good ways to reduce and reuse. I thought it might be fun for me to list these...it's good for me to remember...and it might be helpful for you. And since I love the number 17, I'm going to try to come up with 17 things...

1. Turning off the water while I brush my teeth.
2. Not running the dishwasher until it's completely full.

All I want for Christmas...

Wed, Nov 26 2008 at 4:36 PM EST

It may seem impersonal, but every year I put a wishlist on Amazon.com for the things that people can buy me for my birthday or Christmas. Hey, it works!!! People know exactly what I want, and I am still surprised (sort of!).

This time around, I wanted
Wed, Nov 02 2011 at 12:25 PM EST

This time around, I wanted another little girl sooooooooo badly and I would actually cry when I thought about having a boy instead. Then we found out we were having a boy and it's like something just flipped in my emotions. Now I can't imagine...

good to know

I live in Decatur and Leon's is about 5 minutes from my house. My husband and I have been dying to try it out, so this definitely encourages me to do so. Thanks!

so glad

Robin,
I know I'm late on this, but I just wanted to say I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Ellis. We love putting our guests there for all the reasons you listed above. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to stay in downtown...
