Don’t forget your Sunscreen!

Let this be a reminder to all of you. DON’T FORGET YOUR SUNSCREEN. It looks more ridiculous in real life. I sat at a track meet this past weekend for no more than 2 hours watching pole vaulting. It was chilly in the morning when I left the house with a jacket. Sun? What’s that? [...]

BPA in Register Reciepts

BPA has been keeping me awake many nights. I’m still awake. Last week I had the opportunity to hear Laurie David of The Family Table, and producer of The Inconvenient Truth discuss how BPA is everywhere. Yes, I thought it was only lining our canned goods and in our plastics. It’s coated on cash register [...]

Homeopathy for Idiots

What is Homeopathy? Last night I attended a mini lecture given on Homeopathy by Deborah Magnotta, CWHNP, AHN-BC Homeopathy is a therapeutic approach based upon the idea of like cures like. “Through the like, disease is produced and through the application of the like, it is cured” Hippocartes Homeopathy is a a holistic therapy that [...]

Sprouts – so easy an idiot can grow them

Why grow your own sprouts? Because it’s super easy, they are a nutritional powerhouse, you’re guaranteed they are organic, and the kids will learn throughout the process. A green thumb is not required. They will grow in any climate, and mature in 3-7 days. They will grow anytime of the year without the need of [...]

Can’t Wait to get Outta HERE

Not really, but I am going to BlogHer Food 2011, Atlanta. The last time I was in Atlanta, I was the marketing director for a computer accessories company. I spent all of my time at the World Congress Center pushing computer crap. It was fun to see Bill Gates give the Keynote, but other than [...]

Accidental Overdose. I’m such an Idiot!

Today’s Saturday, right. It’s all a blur. I had a headache before bed Thursday evening. I was already upstairs and didn’t want to go downstairs for a Tylenol. I knew Kevin had a stash in his bathroom drawer. I grabbed the bottle and looked for the word acetaminophen. He also always has ibuprofen and naproxen, [...]

What Makes U HaPpY?

I know I’m not the only person on this planet that asks herself this question many times a week. Last summer I was in New York at a BlogHer conference and Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project stood up behind me in a breakout session to ask a question. I knew her immediately. No, [...]

HP ink for Pennies

I cannot spend full retail. The thought of it makes me sick. Today I needed ink and so I redeemed store savings that I earned over the holidays. During the months of December – February, Staples offered batteries for 100% cash back. You could purchase 2 large packages a week. I used coupons in addition. [...]

Yep, I saved the umbilical cords…

I was catching up on Dave’s blog over at The 100 Thing Challenge. On Facebook a suggestion was made to make a change for a solid month. Something big. No TV. No plastic. Get rid of 10 things everyday. I’m going to come up with something, but I’m sure Dave doesn’t think I can. I [...]
