Well, it is that time. Time for spring cleaning. This week I did a lot of thinking about what exactly I need to do and I will have my hands full for sure. This is that once a year time when my house gets scrubbed until it looks like brand new inside and out. I'm talking about being on my hands and knees with a toothbrush in hand. ;) I also use this time to get organized (or try), fill up Freecycle donation boxes, gather stuff to host a yard sale, and make my own yard sale wish list. This year I … [Read more...]

I hacked off my shoulder blade length hair...2 inches or so in length on … [Read more...]
Healthier Kids – Moving Beyond Pizza and Hot Dogs
One of my readers, Tessa, recently left a wonderful comment asking me to share some ideas for parents who are just starting to analyze their children's eating habits and try to change them.
