    I want to win this because I live in the PNW and we have more dark hours than light during the winter. My food photos suffer tremendously during the time when I am cooking the most! My readers will thank you because I won’t have to continuously apologize about my yellow winter food photos. Thanks for this awesome opportunity!ReplyCancel

    This is amazing!! I recycle all my paper products and we accumulate bags and bags of it in the kitchen since I don’t have a spot for it. Then put it outside when the bags get full. They only pick up every two weeks.. we recycle more then two times the amount of trash we throw out! This would be awesome!ReplyCancel
