N1104P67003C

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]

Skip organic – surprising items you don’t need to go green

It seems the newest trend in branding and marketing is declaring something “organic” – once its labeled as such, granola-loving, green-minded people flock to it. Most people don’t do research on the product and assume that because its labeled “organic,” it’s good for you. While that’s the case some of the time, I’ve compiled a [Read On]

I’ve made it no secret, I love Old Navy flip-flops. Every year I go out and purchase a new pair in every single color. I still keep the previous year’s shoes hence the “Hoarders” comments my friends and family sprinkle in every single conversation. If the world were to end and me and my family [Read On]

The new must-have product: Safety Cutter by slice

I am not an extreme couponer. I don’t really understand the rules of engagement and I don’t have the time to investigate each and every store/manufacturer’s policy regarding the number of coupons you can use. To those women who have the eight+ hours, I salute you. I use coupons, don’t get me wrong. I belong [Read On]

Preschool trauma and moving drama

Gizmo- praying that our house will sell so the strangers will stop bothering him

(pictured is Gizmo- sitting in one of Hubby’s shoe cubbies in the custom shelves he built in our closet) We decided it was time for DD to start preschool- we had considered sending her to a private daycare and me working full time, but the math didn’t work out where it made sense- I would [Read On]

Yes, there is a company that offers hassle-free online back-up

This post brought to you by Carbonite. All opinions are 100% mine.   I worry every day that I’m going to lose the stuff on my laptop. My whole life is on this computer. Stuff I’ve written. My husband’s business files. My work stuff. Phone numbers and address of everyone I know. Letters. Ideas. Budgets. But [Read On]

SAHM seeking housekeeper

hate-housework2

I’m just going to put it out there.   I am a housewife/stay-at-home-mom sort of person. But I hate to clean. Deciding to stay at home with my daughter and only work part-time didn’t mean that I suddenly started to love vacuuming. Instead, I think my level of hatred went up a few notches. Back [Read On]

Here are the things I recommend: • Healing Body Butter by Olsen Naturals, $15 http://www.olsennaturals.com/catalog/i27.html I stumbled upon this stuff in the first few months of my pregnancy while browsing through the Mill City Farmer’s Market. I’ve used it for a million things. It is fantastic! It kept stretch marks at bay; I applied it [Read On]

DIY Expand your book shelves

These 8-inch-wide shelves are perfect for paperbacks. I love that the shelves take advantage of dead space on the wall.

When we moved into our new house, my bookshelves didn’t work like they had in the old house. The one that had been custom-made for our upstairs hallway only fit on one wall in my daughter’s room. That meant I had roughly 100 books without a home. That simply wouldn’t do.   But I wasn’t [Read On]

Multi-Tasking BLOWS.

multitasking_run_amok_lg1

Once upon a time, I foolishly thought multi-tasking involved juggling two different projects at work. And then maybe having to remember to go to a party after work. OMG! Don’t forget to bring makeup for a touch-up after the work day! And don’t be hungover for that morning meeting! Yeah, right. Motherhood has taught me [Read On]
