My new dish drying rack

I bought this new dish drying rack after reading about it on Chez Larsson and I looove it. The dish rack is made by Boon Inc., and is actually a bottle drying rack. I’m way past my baby bottle days, but I was tired of putting old dishtowels out to drain the few pots and […]

iQ natural cleaners

  If you like Method or Mrs. Meyers natural cleaning products, I’m betting you’ll like the iQ line of products even better. They sent me two products to try — the Green Tea all-purpose cleaner and the Nectarine Plum bathroom cleaner. So why will you like them better? A few reasons. In my opinion, their […]

2009 Earth Week Giveaway #4: Herb 'N Organics Starter Basket - Now Closed

I had the pleasure of meeting Diann from Herb ‘N Organics at a local Green Market in Scottsdale a few months ago. She was very passionate about her new company and its natural cleaning products. At the time, she and her partner had just gotten shelf space in Whole Foods, and she was happy to […]

New stools for the kids' bathroom

I bought two new stools for the kids’ bathroom this weekend. I like to refer to the update as my bathroom “remodel”, because spending $45 on a remodel sounds so much more thrifty than spending $45 on a couple of stools, right? My justification: we were using a little plastic one for the potty stool, […]

Cute car trash bags

I’m in love with these car trash bags from Allyson Hill, a crafty mama from Upstate NY who also has her own sweet little blog. How good it would feel to have a special place to stash all the kiddie snack trash that gets handed up to me on a daily basis. No more string […]

A paper towel replacement at last

So the other night I spent way too long online researching possible paper towel replacements. I had recently resigned myself to my crazy paper towel using ways, because I just can’t stand the smell of stinky rags and sponges truly gross me out. I use paper towels to wipe tables, counters, kids faces, and spills. […]

When you’re tired of singing Happy Birthday…

When you're tired of singing Happy Birthday...

Along the same lines of the Firefly Toothbrush, I like this Squid Soap by Airborne. It “stamps” your child’s hand with a vegetable dye when they push the pump, and it takes about 20 seconds of hand washing to scrub off the ink mark (to “train” them to wash their hands longer without having to […]

Wet Ones

I buy boatloads of these Antibacterial Wet Ones packets at Target. I was never one of those moms to use the “safe shopper” big blanket thingys with feet cutouts that lots of moms use to keep their babies germ-free in gunky highchairs and shopping carts. The thought of then taking that dirty germy blanket into […]

Mrs. Meyers Lavender Dish Soap

When you’re washing your high chair tray about a thousand times a year, you might as well enjoy the experience. I have fallen in love with the scent of Mrs. Meyers Lavender Dish Soap. It honestly makes me enjoy washing baby stuff by hand. Yes, I still make full use of my dishwasher. But when […]

Ecos Vanilla Uni Fresh Air Freshener

Mmmmmmmmmmm. I have been enjoying this air freshener for many years – the same darn can of it too! I switched to all natural air sprays 3 and a half years ago, after sitting in my rocker nursing my baby and inhaling the noxious odor of Lysol that my husband had just used to fumigate […]
