I’ve never been a big fan of dark flooring. In our previous house we put down some light, neutral-toned vinyl flooring, and it was wonderful – it hid everything! Four kids plus a cat was no match for that floor! And then we moved to our lovely new home, where the owners thought that dark bamboo flooring would look nice. ... Read More »
Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article from IKEA, but we LOVE the content. As I watched the video below with the little guy lecturing me on how to behave in the kitchen with my children, I realized he was right. I need to chill out a little.

Every time I’ve been at my mom’s house for the past 4 years and I’ve exhibited signs of cold or flu (or anything else, for that matter), she has pushed Oil of Oregano on me. I tried it once. It smelled awful. I misunderstood her directions and put it on my tongue, not under my tongue, and I tasted it for ... Read More »
Why wait until January to make a new resolution? My most recent resolution is to get back into meal planning – both for budgeting and for time management. I’ve always liked the idea of meal planning, and I absolutely love having a Meal Plan Menu to work from, but, without fail, I run out of meal ideas for my meal ... Read More »
I know a thing or two about fruit fly traps, mostly because I have a habit of buying brown bananas (What? 2 pounds of bananas for $0.69 cents? YES, PLEASE!) and then leaving them on the counter for days and days until my husband threatens to either throw them into the Green Bin or toss them into the freezer with ... Read More »
By now, the excitement of the new school year is starting to wear thin. Your renewed enthusiasm for ‘fall cleaning’ the house has dwindled, as has your goal to meal plan weeks in advance.
