About

Welcome! My name is Sandy Kreps, and I'm a writer, graphic designer/art director in North Dallas, a wife and mom to two gorgeous little boys. I am committed to living greener and teaching others about choosing a greener, simpler lifestyle! I've been "going green" since 2005, and I've been writing, teaching and speaking on green living and simplicity subjects since 2007. I volunteer with the City of Plano (Texas) Live Green program, and I'm also a Reuseit.com Ambassador.

Here you'll find some of my favorite worksheets and tools for keeping organized.
  • My Weekly To Do List Sheet: Print the form on 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper, then fold the sheet in half for a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2-inch To Do List that's easy to cart around. You can also use a bit of transparent tape along the bottom and side to make a pocket where you can stash receipts, dry cleaning tickets, coupons or other little bits of paper that you need with you as you go about your weekly errands. This form is straight black and white with no bells or whistles, making it functional and copier-friendly. It has spots for each day of the week plus an area to list out your weekly meal plan, shopping list or notes for next week's task list.
  • DIY Household Cleaners: A quick reference sheet for my favorite DIY green household cleaning products.
  • A Month of Missions: 31 quick cleaning and decluttering tasks, one for each day of the month.
  • Project/Zone Planner: My worksheet for planning room-by-room decluttering, repair and cleaning projects.
