Dirty pillows? There’s an app for that!
So I thought I’d play around with the My Cycles app on our Whirlpool Duet washer. Up until now, we haven’t really needed to do so. We had some pillows that were in need of a deep cleaning. I couldn’t dare put clean pillow cases on seasoned (nicely put) pillows, so it was time for… Continue Reading
Small Style: Every Boy Wants To Be A Superhero
So Greg and I picked out Halloween costumes for Jayden in September; a Chicago Bears football costume, and a pirate costume. Since I’m usually in charge of his costumes, I let Greg take over. He ordered the Chicago Bears costume from an online retailer that shall remain nameless. Days and days would go by with… Continue Reading
Gluten-free Vanilla Nutmeg Cupcakes for Halloween and Fall

Autumness
Sophistishe’s gone “October”. Refresh if you don’t see the subtle changes in the header, background, and bio box in the sidebar :). I added a few details throughout for Halloween and a pink ribbon background to show my support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It feels good to have time to actually do those things.… Continue Reading
One Love: An Interview with Cedella Marley
I had the opportunity to interview Bob Marley’s Daughter, Cedella Marley, which was AWESOME by the way! The interview was in conjunction with helping her promote her new children’s book, One Love. The heartwarming and beautifully illustrated picture book tells of a young girl and her parents inspiring neighbors to restore a park in their… Continue Reading
Walmart’s Bringing (Christmas) Layaway Back! Yeah!
Starting October 17th, Christmas Layaway will be available at Walmart stores!!! I for one am super excited about this because this gives us a chance to reserve the items that we want before the Holiday rush whisks them all away. We don’t do credit cards so this gives us a chance to tend to our… Continue Reading
