I mentioned a few days ago that I would be traveling a bit and I actually just got back from Detroit yesterday evening after a whirlwind trip. The last few days were spent in the Motor City enjoying the North American International Auto Show. Ford sponsored the trip so obviously most of what I experienced was viewed through Ford colored glasses. It was a spectacular experience and I learned a lot about subjects that I am woefully uneducated in. For three days I learned about auto manufacturing, … [Read more...]
Baby Shampoo – Still Unsafe for Babies?

The protein bar thing didn't work out so well when I decided to get in THAT fad but this seemed relatively harmless. Coconut water as it appears in these products is just the water … [Read more...]
Nestle Blogger Firestorm
Did you miss the drama on Twitter? I did. I don't hang out on Twitter much anymore and I don't read most of the popular mommy blogs because I have nothing in common with the moms who write them. I may start out reading and then get bored by all the sponsored posts and reviews of processed food.
