Sometimes You Just Have to Go For a Walk and Smell the Flowers
What Does Your Dining Room Table Look Like?
All dining room tables look like this, right? Every mother on the planet has 700 different projects in whirl, right? Today, I will dump the table to make room to help Eddie create a costume for the school’s Renaissance Festival. He is Machiavelli. Here is our inspiration. I just returned from Goodwill.

Time to Freeze Organic Strawberries
It’s that time of year when the strawberries are abundant. Today, I’m hanging in the kitchen with music in the background and organic strawberries in the foreground. There is nothing better than knowing you have organic strawberries in the freezer for “We Slept Too Late – Last Minute” breakfast smoothies. I wish I could share [...]
Guess How My Day is Going
My 13-year-old son became angry with us this morning when we accused him of lying to us about not knowing the whereabouts of his Kindle. The routine is that when he goes to bed at night, he places his computer, Kindle, flash lights, and other books on the dining room table. He told us he [...]

There are days I think…

CLICK HERE to sign a petition to urge the FDA to require that all foods made with GE products be labeled. We have [...]
Puberty in Second Grade?
I’m on the BPA rant, again. Academy of Pediatrics found that one in ten girls start to develop breasts at the age of seven, with even higher rates in some communities. One of the reasons for this frightening increase in early puberty? Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA in everyday items. CLICK HERE to [...]
