Mini Hack

More like microscopic hack.  Back in July I posted about the SORTERA bins that I bought to store our recycling bottles.  I am pretty happy with them, except for one tiny little thing.  When stacked (and they are meant to be) the flip tops don't/can't stay open.  Kind of pain when you are putting stuff in.  Enter these little guys.


A total of 4 mini, but super strong magnets.  Two in the upper bin and two in the lid of the lower bin.


A little super glue and ta-da my first IKEA hack. :)

September Garden


Here we are in September, the month that brings autumn.


Looking at the garden  I can see the first signs of the changing season, but I think there is still some summer left.

This time of year is actually my favorite, with the crisp mornings followed by warm afternoons and most the green in the garden looking, well still green.
