It's a no-brainer- when you have children, your household "needs" change and organization is essential. My hubby and I had very simple and modern taste with a minimalist attitude. We liked our home to feel open and clutter free. Once my daughter turned 1 and her toys started to gather in just about every room in the house, we knew we needed to get better organized. We started off small by purchasing a toy bin. By the time the holidays came, she ...

Got a Picky Eater? Hide Fruits and Veggies in Toddler’s Meals!
I've been fortunate to have a semi-picky eater. While my toddler is picky about the way foods look and doesn't eat a wide variety of foods, she DOES choose healthy items. Just the other morning I asked her what she wanted for breakfast. Her response: broccoli. I can't complain when it comes to her choice of veggies over sugary cereals! When I was a teacher, I had A LOT of picky eaters. Since I taught cooking classes, I felt it was my job to ...
Which Laundry Detergent do You Use for Sensitive Skin?
I started using fragrance and dye free laundry detergent when I was a teenager because I started developing patchy skin that was itchy throughout my body. I went to a dermatologist who offered no advice as to what it was caused from, nor what I should do about it. I tried moisturizers and anti itch creams but the patches spread and there was no relief for my itching. My mom suggested that it may be the laundry detergent we were using, so when she ...

Father’s Day Gift Guide: Blacktop 360 Grill
Last weekend I had the opportunity to cook our Memorial Day barbecue on the Blacktop 360 Party Hub Grill. Before we even took it out of the box, I sent my hubby over to Home Depot to pick up a 1lb propane tank to use with the grill. We knew that grill set up would be rather easy, since the box states that it is already assembled, so we didn't really think to prepare before our guests arrived. My husband was able to set up the grill within 10 ...
Cut Calories with Domino Light with Stevia! @DominoSugar
Swimsuit season is just around the corner and I am definitely NOT ready. Ok, sure, I JUST had a baby a month ago so I am cutting myself some slack. In truth I really would like to lead an overall healthier lifestyle because my hubby and I have gotten into a rut of eating foods that are not so good for us. I notice a difference in my energy levels and really need to make a change in the way we eat. My problem? I love fatty foods- hamburgers, ...
