Happy 21st birthday to my little brother! The older we get, the more thankful I am to have you as my sibling. You’re thoughtful, hard-working, and sharp as a tack. It’s the best having a sibling who’s probably cooler than you, because then you get to brag about them. Also, I think we gave you too many “pinch to grow an inch” when we were younger. How am I supposed to annoy you with a nearly one foot height difference? 🤍 📷: @SharonWaiPhoto 
If you are fully vaccinated and ready to ditch your masks, please consider donating them instead of tossing them in the trash! @LowWasteLady and a group of local businesses have joined together to offer a recycling program for reusable masks. The masks will be thoroughly sanitized, and then the fabric will be repurposed into quilts for the homeless. This can keep textile waste out of landfills while giving back! If you live in Reno/Sparks you can drop off your masks at the local businesses listed below. If you do not live in town and would like to donate your masks, please DM me and I will share an address you can ship them to and I will take them to one of the donation locations. 😷 Drop-off locations: - The Nest - Strange Bikinis - Sierra Water Gardens - Space Cadet - Great Basin Bicycles - Replenish Refillery - Hollylocks - Great Basin Community Food Co-op - Bearden Insurance Group 🤍 Matching mask & scrunchie are from Bad Apple Vntg! #QuarantineQuilts #Sustainable #Recycle #ReduceReuseRecycle #TextileRecycling #ImperfectSustainability #MaskOnMoveOn #VaxQueen #Reno #RenoNV #RenoNevada #Nevada #RenoIsRad #BiggestLittleCity #NevadaLife #HomeMeansNevada #RenoTahoe #RenoBlogger #RenoTahoeBlogger #HaleighBugBlog 
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom. 💕 I inherited your eyes, your laugh, and your smile. I’d like to think I also inherited your determination, thoughtfulness, and sense of adventure. You made my childhood one I look back on fondly, and in adulthood I feel lucky to consider you one of my best friends. I am so looking forward to a long weekend at home later this month. 🤍 📷: @SharonWaiPhoto 
I can’t talk right now, I’m doing dog mom shit. ✨ Celebrating National Dog Mom Day with fetch at the park with my good boy! Well, I throw the toy and he runs after it. Still working on the bringing it back part. 😂 🤍 Shirt: @RipleyAndRue #NationalDogMomDay #DogMom #DogsOfInstagram #RescueDog #RipleyAndRue #ShopSmall #ShopSmallBusiness #SupportSmall #SupportSmallBusinesses #HaleighBugBlog

Did you know that Nintendo has a recycling program? I was bemoaning that the plastic cases our switch games came in were not locally recyclable when Scotty suggested seeing if Nintendo had an option. Lo and behold, they do! Their free take-back program accepts systems, video games, game cases, and accessories from Nintendo AND other companies. According to their website on their program, “In calendar year 2017, Nintendo of America processed 200 tons of returned products (U.S., Canada, and Latin America) with a 99 percent recycle rate. Nintendo of America also reused almost two-thirds of returned products in their original form, which is the most environmentally friendly recycling option.” I am sending back a Gameboy and DS that have been well and truly dead for a while and kept holding onto them, thinking I’d get them repaired one day. Now that we have a Switch, I’m happy to let them go so they can be refurbished and sold for someone else to enjoy. I’m also sending back three plastic game cases. In the future, I’ll be sticking with the paper versions where you get a download code at check-out. If you don’t care about re-selling games, it’s a great alternative that cuts out plastic use. For more information on Nintendo’s take-back program, you can visit nintendo.com/consumer/recycle.jsp. Email takebackprogram@noa.nintendo.com to request a return label! 🤍 #Recycling #ResponsibleRecycling #R2Recycler #ElectronicRecycling #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #NintendoGameBoy #NintendoDS #Sustainable #Sustainability #ImperfectlySustainable #HaleighBugBlog 
Our first family heirloom, hand fabricated by @MicahBlankJewelry 💍 On our third anniversary in 2019 Scotty and I spent the day exploring downtown Reno. The first stop was to @TheBasementReno, where we found Micah’s shop. I absolutely fell in love with his style and ethics in jewelry making. I knew immediately when we got engaged the ring had to be made by Micah! Our ring features a center stone created by @DiamondFoundry, a fantastic company who creates certified carbon neutral lab grown diamonds in the U.S. The side stones are post-consumer, and the gold is recycled. This means no new mining went into the creation of our ring, which was huge for us, and we’re super thankful for Micah’s expertise in sourcing these materials. Working with Micah & Katya was an absolute dream, and I’m so thrilled I get to wear this piece of art for the rest of my days. If you have ANY jewelry needs, we would highly recommend them. 🤍 📷: @DaniRawsonPhoto . . . #Reno #RenoNV #RenoNevada #Nevada #RenoIsRad #BiggestLittleCity #NevadaLife #RenoTahoe #RenoBlogger #RenoTahoeBlogger #ShopLocal #SupportLocal #ShopLocalReno #SupportLocalReno #HaleighBugBlog #EngagementRing #Engaged #TheNevadaBride

Theo spent his afternoon chasing and trying to bite the waves. Not sure what he was trying to accomplish, but he had fun while doing it! 🌊 
Happy fifth anniversary sweetheart 🤍 Five years ago I fell in love with you, and a year from today I get to call you my husband. I can’t wait to start the next chapter of our lives together. 🥰 📷: @sharonwaiphoto
