Happy 3rd Birthday, Jayden!

Like the wick on a burning candle, the years seem to wane before my eyes. Today, our little man turned three. Three. This morning, I made chocolate chip blueberry muffins and we gave him his new tricycle which he calls his “prize”. We ran some errands which included picking up some special items for himContinue Reading

Be Kind To Earth: Starting A Garden

This year, we are planting a small raised bed and container garden in our backyard. Having a garden a couple of steps outside of our kitchen, we’ll be able to enjoy and appreciate fresh, pesticide-free produce. Admittedly, I don’t know what I’m totally doing. I’m still doing some research. I’ve grown tomatoes, bell peppers, romaineContinue Reading

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to attend the Wilton Mom ReTreat held at the Wilton Headquarters in Bolingbrook, IL. We stayed at the Aloft, a fabulous, upbeat hotel.

Eggosaurus!

Over the weekend, we decided to color some eggs using an inexpensive kit I found at Walmart. I couldn’t help but to grab the Eggosaurus kit because of its dinosaur themed decorations. Jayden loves dinosaurs second best to trains of course. Since this craft project would be for display only, I didn’t let the currentContinue Reading

Play Kitchens For Boys: Mom Says Yes, Dad Says No

Greg and I have been going back and forth about getting Jayden a play kitchen. Admittedly, a piece of me wants to get one for me, as I didn’t have one growing up. Greg feels that Jayden doesn’t need a play kitchen… because it’s girly. He should have a workbench or a grill. I feelContinue Reading

Having Nasty Toilets Freak Me Out

While I’m on a journey to greening my home, using eco-friendly cleaners and such, I fail/slip up/choose to use conventional cleaning projects on our toilets. I feel like the our toilets are the nastiest things in the house (our toilets are older, btw) and they NEED to be cleaned with some pretty tough stuff forContinue Reading
