I’m pretty much a minimalist when it comes to skin care. Local raw honey to wash my face. Coconut oil to moisturize. Dr. Bronner’s to wash up everything else most of the time. I buy a couple of select things for my hair and one for daytime moisture but still pretty low maintenance. But I’m…

From October 1 through October 31, 2012, consumers are encouraged to submit an original naan pizza recipe using any…
Here is one of our favorite fall side dishes to just about any meal. Acorn squash is chock full of vitamins and nutrients, and this time of year…it’s cheap! I grabbed up a few at 0.49/lb a few weeks ago 😉 It lasts a good month on the counter, so if you see a good…
You remember my review of the I did of the 7 A.M. Enfant papoose blanket. If not check it out here. I wanted to introduce you to the new NEON collection that is coming out November 1st. Pink and Green….gorgeous!! Now is the time to get winter items. You will want to keep those kiddos…
When life hands you a lemon you make lemonade – right? Well when life hands you an awful apple season in one of the best apple picking states there is, and oranges from Cali are cheaper than apples from your own state what do you make?! Orange Kvass! We have been swimming in oranges in…
I recently discovered this cool app called Ibotta. I’m always trying to be frugal and part of my penny pinching means I don’t have a smartphone yet. Key word, YET! 🙂 However, I was very happy to discover that this app not only is for smartphone users, but it works on my iPod touch as…
I love my Swiffer Wet Jet. I do NOT love paying for the disposable pads. Not to mention how wasteful it is. And I love my Swiffer long handled duster. Our house has a ceiling fan in *every* room…yes every room. It is the only way I can keep them clean. But again, I just…
There is just something about a warm bowl of tomato soup on a chilly afternoon 🙂 It is one of our favorites, and I always try to keep some stocked in the freezer for quick pull out lunches. Canned tomato soup has NOTHING on homemade! Not only does homemade taste much fresher and have way…
About a year ago I decided to get rid of all the plastic plates I had for my girls to eat on. The dubious origins of those colorful disks were making me nervous about what was getting into my kids from their plates through the food they were eating. I was really excited when I…
In the last couple years I have been second guessing just about everything when it comes to skin care, cosmetics, and toiletries. Too many harsh chemicals, toxic ingredients, and cancer causing additives are snuck in, and I’m not falling for it. Toothpaste is one of those things that I have dabbled in “them all”. Everything…
I love to bake bread, but I often forget to get started in time for it to be done for dinner. I don’t have a bread maker, but I do have a Kitchen Aid mixer to help me with my bread baking endeavors. I’m basically in love with my dough hook. This is the perfect…
After becoming frustrated with throwing out food that went stale from not being sealed well, I began stocking my kitchen with resealable containers. I now know the good, the bad, and just plain do not work of food storage solutions. I’d found a brand that seemed to work pretty well, but they were a pain…
