I can’t stand having extra things on my kitchen counters, let alone loose unsightly plugs. They tend to catch your eye instantly, and no matter how clean your kitchen is or how clutter-free the counters are, there are the plugs hanging from the wall leading right to your cell phone or BlackBerry. Can’t.stand.it. So when [...]
My family has been fortunate to have the opportunity to test out several deliciously green bath products for kids. But I am always on the hunt for a new and bigger one – one that is low cost, but high quality and with a delicious scent. So, I was psyched when I saw that Earth’s [...]
Spring, spring, spring. That’s about all I can think about right now. It’s ingrained in everything I do – from fighting to drop pounds quickly to preparing the kids’ wardrobes for warmer temperatures. For me, spring can’t arrive too soon.
And if you are a mom looking for a flattering dress, I totally vote for empire-waisted [...]
Around here, we like to support grassroots companies, mom and pop shops, charitable organizations and worthy causes. It’s just the kind of folk we are. Karma is good like that. The folks at P&G are offering these very cool vintage t-shirts to help a wonderful cause … the sale of these shirts will help support families [...]
I love a good sauce, particularly a good barbecue or steak sauce. So when Country Bob’s contacted me about checking out Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce, I was game. The sauce bottle proclaims that it is for steak, hamburgers, chicken, fries and barbecue.

To reach a goal of 1 Million Reading Hours, they are asking parents to pledge to set aside 10 minutes of reading time a day with their children. Reading gives everyone such a great reward … we [...]
Cate and I are fortunate to deal with several really great PR people. These folks take the time to research our site before sending pitches, they have worked to make connections with us and most importantly, their pitches are smart and well thought out. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate a press release [...]
Target is to me what Caldor’s was to my grandmother in the 80s. It’s a mass retailer that I like to wander a bit in, checking out cool newly released items and looking for inexpensive ways to ramp up the decorating in my house. My kids recognize the sign, much like I did with the [...]
A year or two ago, I said goodbye to using plastic bags and now have amassed quite a collection of reusable tote bags in their place. It’s just a decision that makes sense on so many levels. Besides the crazy amount of plastic bags I would end up with if I didn’t make the switch, [...]
Bubbly water. Fizzy water. Sparkling water. Whatever you want to call it, it’s no secret that people love water with some light bubbles in it. It’s a nice change up from plain old regular water (which I happen to L-O-V-E). With all the emphasis on eating well and taking an organic approach to growing things, [...]
