Lately, I’ve been brushing up on my domestic skills and I recently started making my own HE laundry detergent that works great in our Whirlpool Duet washer. Instead of talking about custom cycles as originally planned, I’d like to share my laundry detergent recipe instead. Before I get into the recipe, I’d like to update… Continue Reading

SweeTango Apples: The Best I’ve Ever Had & A Muffin Recipe
While I generally love anything with apples; applesauce, apple pie, apple jelly, apple whatever, I don’t eat the fruit (apples) as often as I’d like. I prefer an apple that is both equally sweet and tangy and those are hard come by. The apples I have eaten have either lacked sweetness or tanginess. Weeell, I… Continue Reading
Slow Cooker Mixed Bean & Italian Sausage Soup
Italian sausage during grilling season is one of my weaknesses. The flavor of the sausage combined with a well done grilled taste, hint of BBQ sauce of a bun is enough for me. So when asked to try Johnsonville’s new Brat and Italian Sausage Burgers, I was super excited. Italian sausage in the form of… Continue Reading
On His Way To Pre-school
I never went to pre-school because the school put priority on the children who they thought “needed” it. Weird right? I don’t know what that was all about, but I know that times have changed and I know there are many benefits to attending pre-school even if the child is brilliant.

I returned home from Jamaica last Tuesday and I am still reflecting over the fabulous time that I had; the adventure, the laughs, the tears, the inspiration that ensued. I will spare the full nitty gritty and break it all down into a series of post-reflections, but today I want to highlight the lovely female… Continue Reading
Living The Jetsons Life With Whirlpool Duet
It seems like just yesterday we were setting up our brand-new-to-us washer and dryer that we scored from Craigslist. It was an older Kenmore set from around the early 2000′s. Three years ago, we were basking in the glory of our washer and dryer that would enable us to do laundry in the comfort of… Continue Reading
For The Trendy & Stylish Kid: Cookie’s Shopping Haul
As the weather begins to transition from scorching hot, to a gentle cool, and Jayden grows a little taller, I realize that it’s time to do a little shopping to prepare him for the season. Marshalls, Old Navy, and Crazy 8 are the stores that I usually shop for Jayden’s clothing, but I think I… Continue Reading
