    My absolute favorite activity is hiking.  One of the few upsides to lock down was that I could indulge my hiking passion any day that I wished.

    While I pay close attention to what is in my laundry detergent, I haven't given enough consideration to dryer sheets.  I don't like the idea of coating my clean clothes in chemicals.

      I found some cool laundry detergent sheets to replace the large plastic bottles of detergent we used to buy: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Concentrated-Laundry-Detergent-Sheets/dp/B07NNRY4M7/ref=asc_df_B07NNRY4M7/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=&hvpos=&hvnetw=o&hvrand=&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583657824648143&psc=1
