It’s been a long time since I’ve been to our local children’s museum. I’ve read news stories about changes in leadership and various drama over the years, and I know funding has been an issue. Still, somehow I have never taken my kids there, and we tend to get out a lot. Now that it’s just me and my little…

Argghh. Unfortunately, something in my genetic makeup means I have to deal with an oily T-zone (I’m thinking it’s the 50% Italian part). Drives me nuts, and I’ve tried different things over the years to try to deal. I am excited to share with you my new favorite products that seem to do a pretty excellent job combatting all that…

If you’ve poked around my blog, you’d know that I am a huge fan of Rachel Macy Stafford’s Hands Free Revolution (which is what she named her FB page).…
Today, Tiny Tallman and I took a walk, went to the orchard and bought apples, and went to the dairy and bought milk. Back in the day, we would have done these things, because we had to. Well, I suppose there was the milkman, so I guess there would have been that. Later, of course, the big grocery stores sprang…

September is here, and all the baggage that comes with it! If you have kids, you know what I mean. I am so excited for the new adventures of all of our lives this school year, with the older two moving up a grade, and with our entire household hopefully benefitting from the huge investment of me pressing pause on…

Hi! School for us starts next week, and I can’t help myself but want my kids to come to school with a “meet the teacher” gift. Do your kids bring in a MTT gift?? There’s a lot of ways you could go about it, but I was looking for something small and inexpensive. I kind of love gift giving (maybe…
