It’s been three months since Yuki was born, and I’m emerging from a zombie-like existence. She finally stopped waking up every two hours—what a relief! I even had six hours of sleep without disturbance this week. I’m a whole new person.

Reducing the amount of trash by choosing reusable, recyclable or compostable options is something our family has always been mindful of doing. We’ve recently started to up the ante on our #zerowaste efforts, because we care deeply about protecting the environment for future generations.

Healthy Habits is a blog series about making positive changes for health, happiness and environmental benefits.

I’m thrilled to introduce you to the latest addition to our family, Yuki! Yuki means “snow” in Japanese. For the past two weeks, my days have been filled with sleepless nights and cluster feeds, but it is all worth it for these short and precious newborn days.
