FOOD WASTE

The amount of food wasted in America is a pet peeve of mine. Around home we try to make sure food stays out of the trash. If we don't eat it, the dogs or the chickens will! We also make a habit of picking up the slightly imperfect items in the produce department because if they sit too long they will end up in the dumpster out back. 

While watching TV a few nights ago, my husband and I saw America's problem with wasted food spelled out in a way that anyone can understand. Watch this clip to learn more about how terrible the situation really is and get a few laughs too.

BRAINSTORMING FOR FREEBIES

I'm starting a new retail sales website and I'm struggling with a name. It should be unique, not already in use, and should have something to do with being from "The South." (Because you know that's a place, not a direction!)

I'm hoping for some helpful suggestions. There are so many names that have already been used that it's proving difficult for me to think of one that is unique enough to still be available. So... 

I thought we might have a brainstorming session on Mama Making Changes! 

Please comment below with any suggestions. If I choose a name that was suggested in the comments on this post, then I will send a $10 gift certificate to the reader who made the suggestion as soon as the new site is up and running!
