Product Reviews – Welcome to my home!
Because I suffer from fairly severe buyers remorse and buyers anxiety, I am not one to just walk into a store and buy a product because I need it. Go to the store and blindly pick out toothpaste? No, no, no! When it comes down to products to be used in my [...]
Snowed in?
Well, we’re not, here in Atlanta. But my kids are acting as if they were. We’re in the midst of a rousing game of Red Light Green Light in the living room and dining room. It occurs to me that maybe this isn’t the best game to play in the house with a baby crawling [...]
Help! Need carpet cleaning help!
By any chance would you know of a good (and all-natural) way to get purple Hello Kitty lip gloss out of cream colored carpet? There are globs of it. And smears. And it’s purple for goodness sake!
Yes, I’m aware that the best medicine is prevention. But now that my 3 year old son experimented with [...]
Kids keep it clean? Could it be?
Q from a reader: I don’t particularly care if my child likes to mess things up or get dirty. What i can’t stand is repetition. The worst is coming home “Everyday” and there are toys everywhere and i’m tripping all over the place. Or if my daughter repeatedly spills her milk all over the sofa. [...]
Home remedies: Honey for a cough
Studies have shown honey to be more effective to treat a cough than OTC cough medicines. When I first saw the report last year I wondered how I’d get honey into my kids – would they really lick super-sweet honey off a spoon? Mine are too young to stir it into hot water as some [...]
Mylicon drops recalled
Parents of infants take note! The Mylicon drops so many of us use to soothe our babies when their tummies are upset have been recalled. There’s a possibility that they could contain metal fragments from the manufacturing process. Click here for more information about the recall. It effects only the non-staining (”good”) drops that are [...]
How clean is clean?
I can’t get my kids to keep their rooms clean.
I wish I could entertain at home, but my house is just too messy.
If only my house was cleaner, I’d be able to … (fill in the blank)!
I hear things like that all the time. But what I wonder is, how clean is clean? I don’t [...]

They use responsible production methods and take care of the environment. The set includes hand wash, soap, lip balm, toothpaste, detangler, and more! [...]
A new meaning for eau de toilette
I recently found out that the flush of a toilet isn’t as harmless as I once thought. Apparently that “fwoosh” agitates the water enough to send a spray of miniscule water particles (and other particles) into the air. They’re dispersed through your bathroom and settle on anything with a flat surface. Do you know what [...]
Kids in the kitchen?! Oh My!
Our good friend Jeana posted at her blog last week about having her 2 year old help her in the kitchen with tasks as mundane as unloading the dishwasher (though how can it be mundane when a toddler is handling your dinner plates?) to actually making salad, complete with cutting vegetables (again, toddlers and knives [...]
