the perfect diaper solution :: bubula diaper pail

Posted on May 27, 2015June 7, 2015 by Laura

The solution to diapers is always one you want to choose carefully.  You don’t want to use a trash can that will allow the smells to dominate the room, but you also don’t want to have to take each diaper out of the room every time there’s a dirty diaper.  There are so many different…

a simple recipe :: the perfect no bake cookies

Posted on May 13, 2015May 15, 2015 by Laura

I had never even heard of no bake cookies until I moved to the Midwest for college!  I had them a few different places while I was there, and always thought they were really good.  I started looking for a recipe a few years later and came across so many different variations.  Some were made with…

repurpose tableware :: ecofriendly single use dishes

Well, grilling season is finally here!  For us, even if we aren’t grilling we are eating outside.  That means disposable plates, cups, and utensils get used a lot more frequently!

I love easy weeknight dinners that I can either prepare the weekend before or that morning! It makes dinner time easy, and it makes unpredictable dinner times a breeze! I also love freezer meals in case I feel ambitious ahead of time, and then I have meals on hand on those nights that just seem…

Posted on April 25, 2015April 28, 2015 by Laura

Time really flies! The change from baby to toddler seemed to happen overnight.  He no longer was my sweet baby just wanting to snuggle.  He was an active little guy getting all over the house.  He went from eating very little to eating just about anything we put in front of him (although, still not…
