Disclaimer: I have a few fetishes:
1. “school supplies”– I have always been a lover of pens, markers, mechanical pencils, cool notebooks, stickies, planners, etc.
2. Bags- yes, purses too but I like bags. Bags that will better organize my travels, my work, my parenting. I’m ever in search of the one bag that will transition from [...]
When it comes to stinky diapers, it seems like there’s no escaping the smell. When my son was a baby, we went through a short-lived phase with the Diaper Genie. With my daughter, we just make a conscious effort to empty her garbage can daily to get the stink out. Until Poo-Pourri.
Honestly, when the bottle [...]

After doing some research a couple of months in, I was dismayed to learn that many of these products actually contained parabens [...]

Big Green Cookbook: Hundreds of Planet-Pleasing Recipes and Tips for a Luscious, Low-Carbon Lifestyle is not your typical cookbook. It is peppered with “little green cooking tips” [...]
I may not be a new mom at this point with two boys (6 and 7 years old), but I still put Dapple Dish Liquid to a test over the last week. I remember how hard it was to get bottles clean and even dishes after a particularly messy meal. The folks at Dapple have created [...]

In this economy we are all trying to do more with less. When it comes to redecorating even a room as small as a bathroom, changing the décor can be not just daunting, but also expensive. I recently had the opportunity to meet Frank Fontana from HGTV’s Design on a Dime at a Charmin promotional event. [...]
Rumor has it that a little farmers market near my house is opening this Saturday for the season. I say ‘rumor’ because I haven’t found any mentions of said opening in the newspaper or seen any of the telltale banner announcements in the center of town. So, I am hoping, but trying not to get [...]
Something clicked inside me at the end of winter, something that had never quite lined up before but does now.
