S2O Laundry Detergent Sheets
Never in my life did I ever think I'd be excited about laundry or laundry products, but now I'm a stay at home mom in a family of 5 and I'm shocked by what gets me excited these days. I feel like I'm turning into my dad. For years he'd tell me about household finds with such passion, and before I had a family I just thought he needed to get out more! Now I understand. And my newest find is S2O, an all-in-one laundry sheet. S2O Laundry ...
Rhubarb Cake (topped with Fruity Pebbles)
When I was in 5th grade we went on a field trip with my class to a local farm. I only remember a few things about that trip but two things have stuck in my memory. First, one of the boys in the class tried squirting milk on a group of us while milking a cow, and second, the farmer pointed out some rhubarb growing. I had never heard of rhubarb, had no idea what it tasted like, and really didn't think about it again until it showed up in the first ...
Lightning bugs (fireflies)
When I was pregnant with my first child a colleague told me that the most important thing she could advise about parenting was to put my baby on a schedule. I even read a book she recommended, but I really wasn't able to do it when he was so little. Then my 2nd child was born when my first was 14 months old. By then, he was on a strict schedule, so it was easy to just incorporate my new baby to that schedule. Now that I have 3 I think I ...

Hydrate Them Naturally with @VitaCocoKids! (#Giveaway)
NYC is hot hot hot! Keeping the kids cool AND entertained has been quite a challenge, and despite feeling lazy and wanting to sit in air conditioning all day, my kids need to get out and have some fun. I've been managing to keep them entertained AND cool by taking them to the sprinkler park and pool, but I also stress that they have a good amount of fluids in them throughout the day. Both my girls are water drinkers and really don't take well to ...
Grannie’s French Swiss Chard
I had never paid much attention to the food I was buying at the market until I had kids. Then I learned all about organic, certified organic, etc. As time goes on I pay more and more attention to the quality of the food I'm buying and feeding to my kids. Last year I signed up for my first organic veggie share from a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). I didn't really know what to expect, but I was very happy with the variety and quality ...
