    I went out of town for vacation so I didn't do great with the reusable utensils but I did do really good with the reusable straws,  I packed a bunch in my purse and my whole family used them, every time.

    Happy 5th of July, this morning I was out of milk at home so decided to go to Starbucks on my way to work.  Instead of getting one of their to-go cups I actually brought my own.  Yes I had to actually go in to the store and it took maybe a few minutes longer than mobile ordering but it's a little step in the right direction.

    So yesterday I went through Chik-fil-A and asked for no straw and no lid, well apparently they HAVE to give you a lid but I did NOT get a straw.  little victories.
