The day my “run-flat” tire went flat, and smoky!
This is a little off topic from my usual natural mom content here, but I just have to warn, vent and tell about what happened to me on Tuesday. I drive a 2009 Honda Odyssey, Touring model. It has all the bells and whistles like a built in GPS and DVD player. I like the […]
Inspiration for making homemade cleaning supplies
A couple weeks ago I decided to make a batch of homemade laundry detergent. While on a shopping mission to find Arm and Hammer washing soda locally, I decided to restock our laundry room cabinet with homemade cleaning supplies, like vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice and essential oils.

Renovations are happening. In a BIG way!
So if you didn’t guess by the posts last week, we were at the beach. That’s because carpenters were demoing the upstairs of our house.
