Dye stains no more

IMG_3397C

I am a natural blonde who exchanged her corn silk tresses for the wilder, black-cherry side of life. Being a transplant redhead is a lot of work and a lot of maintenance. You know the saying “it costs a lot of money, to look this good” – it wasn’t coined by a plastic-surgery loving starlet, [Read On]

Blessingway, tie-dye, and belly mapping: a perfect shower

It is 99% likely that the first outfit my new baby wears is going to be one of these funky tie-dye shirts.

Hippie at heart? Then I have the perfect Baby Shower recipe for you. Combine belly mapping, tie-dye, and a mama blessingway for a lovely afternoon. Throw in some ice cream sundaes and iced herbal tea, and you have everything you need.   Being the pregnant one, I can’t, of course, claim any credit for this [Read On]

Sure, sidewalk is cheap and easy to buy at Target. It comes in many different packs and in many different sizes, so why on Earth would you want to make your own? We have some rainy days coming up in Minnesota, and if I know anything about children, I know that they get antsy and [Read On]

Although, she’s better at smashing the balls I made into the coffee table than actually sculpting anything. Baby steps. [Read On]

Everyone can boil an egg, but the secret to [Read On]

Bright and Brilliant Easter Egg Dye

N1204P66022C 2

When I’m stuck with no where else to turn, I turn to Martha Stewart for answers on everything homemade. Year after year, I get stuck purchasing the same Easter Egg dying kits over and over and every year, despite new packaging and promises, I get let down over the quality of the dye. Last year, [Read On]

Kids clothes for cheap

Go to one sale, and you'll fall in love...

I don’t believe in paying full price for anything. Because of that, I tend to gravitate to second-hand stores and consignment sales. My favorite place to pick up baby/kids clothes are the Just Between Friends sales here in the Twin Cities.   Every spring and fall I go and buy my daughter’s entire wardrobe for [Read On]

With all the hub bub over clean and healthy eating, how do you know what to buy organically when everyone is throwing around the terms “all-nautral,” “organic,” and “certified organic?” It seems like the latest craze is organic eating (damn the corn. DAMN THE CORN), and chances are the person with the organic food in [Read On]
