I've been thinking these days that maybe the initial intention and focus of this blog -- simple, greener living -- has fallen by the wayside, in favor of updates on the kiddos and our daily adventures and such.
And so I'm devoting today's post to something that does add to a simpler lifestyle: reducing and reusing.
Namely, in the form of Cutie Boxes!
[you'll see in the photos that we also buy our mandarines/clementines/mikan from other vendors like Trader Jose's and Bee Sweet too]

| Dash's expansive video game collection -- all organized thanks to yours truly ;) |
By saving these handy little boxes from the grocery store we are reducing our need to purchase "real" storage containers by reusing them instead.
 |
| Our cookbook collection on top of the fridge |
Every winter, when the clementines are in season, we buy at least 3 or 4 boxes worth, so we've accumulated quite a few boxes!
 |
| Ella Rose's coloring book collection |
Not only are the boxes sturdy and clean (despite having held a delicate citrus fruit), but their dimensions are just perfect for so many media in our lives (games, books, videos, etc!)

| Our VHS collection under the TV |
Also good for wardrobe organization~

| William's socks |
Once we went to Costco and picked up this discarded box too!
 |
| Mega-size! To hold Ella's oversized books. |
These boxes make an appearance in pretty much every area of the house. Even the bottom of the stairs:
 |
| To hold our many mittens and hats~ |
I think I got just about every Cutie Box in the house...
But I'm always finding new opportunities to use them!
Next time you get a box of clementines, instead of discarding the box...consider it for its many fabulous uses.
And then share that use here! :)
Until then, take care and Happy Boxes!!
