Depending on how you feel about digging up dirt, gardening can be just “one of those chores” or THE reason to get outside on the weekends. If you’re the former, a great way to turn the chore into a fun family day is to get the kids involved! Gardening with the whole family has so [...]
I’ve changed a lot of diapers folks. I’d probably done almost 2,000 diaper changes even before I had children of my own. That’s some pretty good diaper changing experience, I’d say. Though I can’t say it was my mad diaper changing skillz that made my husband fall in love with me, he certainly was impressed that I [...]
When my 2nd son was born I made the switch to cloth diapers. In my search for more information on cloth diapering how to’s I discovered something I’d never heard about before–washable, reusable nursing pads. I immediately embraced the idea of eliminating one more wasteful thing from our lives. When it actually came down to [...]

Our family tries to live [...]

At least that is what everyone thinks when they enter our laundry room. We’ve had a lot of different people in our house the past several weeks. Friends, moving people, my husband himself have all expressed their wonder at the new washer and dryer that graces our laundry room. I was out of town in [...]
With it being so hot outside this summer sometimes I like to kick back with a cold drink. I love the flavored waters after I exercise but sometimes all I really want is an ice cold diet cola. But with the price of everything going up I feel like buying a 12 pack of soda [...]
I posed a question to my facebook fans a few weeks ago. How many loads of laundry do you do per week? If you’re a mom who’s kids don’t yet do their own laundry chances are you do more laundry every week than you ever imagined possible. Sometimes as I do the mountains of laundry [...]
I don’t know about you guys but I love one stop shopping. Somewhere to go that you can buy everything. I hate having to stop at ten different stores or ten different websites just to get the items I need. Well, over at Hello Baby they have just about everything you need for babies. At [...]
