I have been making my own body wash for about a year now. Completely homemade and I couldn't be happier with the result. My husband also uses it and loves it too! Previously I had been using Kiss My Face olive oil soap. It's really nice and pure and worked for awhile but after I… Continue reading Homemade Body Wash

Homemade Foaming Hand Soap
When my son was potty training he HAD to have "foamy" soap. And I was so desperate to get him potty trained that I was willing to give him anything. It wasn't long before I figured out that foaming hand soap is expensive, runs out quickly and produces a lot of waste with all those bottles… Continue reading Homemade Foaming Hand Soap
Homemade Cold Remedies
I battled the WORST cold I have had in a long time the past few weeks. It lasted a good two weeks before I was feeling better and even today almost another week later I still have some lingering affects (effects? I can never get those straight...). During that period I tried several different homemade… Continue reading Homemade Cold Remedies
Eye Make-Up Remover
Several years ago I posted about homemade eye makeup remover that was simply canola oil. I used it for awhile with success but eventually gave it up because it was, well, too oily. I switched to just scrubbing my eye makeup off with my face soap but then that seemed too harsh for the delicate… Continue reading Eye Make-Up Remover
Craft Drawer Organization
In my last post I mentioned organization and how I'd like more of it. There's one organization project I did complete over the holidays and I am pretty proud of the result. It's the "craft" drawer, aka the "drawer where you cram a whole bunch of crap". Right off our kitchen we have a set… Continue reading Craft Drawer Organization

I know cold season is almost over (at least I hope!) but I still wanted to post this anyway. I started using a Neti Pot a few years ago to help with sinus congestion. It is a great natural method to relieve congestion and clear out the sinuses. I try to regularly use it a… Continue reading Neti-Pot Mix
How I Cloth Diaper As a Working Mom
My son is almost 7 months old and has been cloth diapered since he was a month old. My husband and I both work full-time jobs so our son goes to daycare 5 days a week. I used to think cloth diapering was only for stay-at-home moms. But it's not. Cloth diapering is actually very easy and… Continue reading How I Cloth Diaper As a Working Mom
Uses for Recalled Cribs
Hey there! It's been a month since I last blogged. Jack is now 6 weeks old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. One of my Facebook friends posted a link yesterday that I wanted to share: 30 Fabulous Reuses & Repurposes for Old or Recalled Cribs at Consignment Mommies A few months ago… Continue reading Uses for Recalled Cribs
Christmas in April
Something very special arrived in the mail last Friday: That's right...a Vitamix!!!!! I have wanted a Vitamix for over a year now. I have debated and debated about whether or not to order one because they are very expensive. I don't have a blender, only a Magic Bullet and a food processor. I do love the… Continue reading Christmas in April
Painting Extravaganza
I mentioned in my post last Saturday that I was about to embark on painting my living room. I wasn't all talk, I actually got started on this project and have made a good dent in the work. The reason why this is a big project is because my living room is not just one… Continue reading Painting Extravaganza
