It’s almost long sleeve weather here, and I’ve been getting my Etsy fix browsing all the cute hand-made kids tees. These are some of my favorites, from Planet Pudge. They’re made by a self-described “over-caffeinated, creative-deprived mom” (love her already) who was in search of “fun, unique, modern clothes” for her girls. These fun shirts [...]

I flipped my calendar to October a day early, because I am SO EXCITED. Yes, it’s still over 100 degrees here, but we made pumpkin cream cheese at my daughter’s preschool today and I felt a breeze. So there. I’m in the fall spirit, and I’m ready to pass it on. I plan to package [...]

I think I found a hand sanitizer I don’t hate. I bought this Smart & Silky hand sanitizer at Target, and here’s why I like it. It foams, so no slimy gel rolling off the kids’ hands. It’s alcohol-free, so it doesn’t burn my cracked dry hands – or any scrapes the kids might have [...]

I’m a big fan of homemade playdough. But if you don’t have cream of tartar on hand, or don’t feel like cooking your dough, this “playclay” is a pretty good substitute. And since there’s no cooking involved, the kids can help make it. I tore out the recipe from this month’s Family Fun magazine, and [...]

I have had the same throw pillows on our couch FOREVER. I’d love to give them a makeover with a set of cushion covers from Maries Cosy Cushions. There are so many hip fabrics, and they’re all organized by color! The ones shown above are just a few of the choices in the Duck Egg [...]

I was admiring my mom’s new shoes the other day, and she told me she had gotten them from the Overstocks section of the Lands End website. So off I went and ordered myself a pair of these “Mary Jane Trekker” shoes. They arrived a few days ago, and I am loving them. I needed [...]

Oh how I hate that this is true, but Sigg’s CEO posted a letter on their web site stating that the epoxy liners in their bottles produced before August 2008 contain trace amounts of BPA. Yes, these are the same bottles my kids have been drinking out of for years, and that I have given [...]
