A little over a year ago I fell in love with Lion Brand’s Amazing Yarn. I love the colors, the striping. Ombre yarns are my favorite. Knitting never gets boring as the patterns unfold like a story. As I knitter, I have chronic A.D.D. I can power through and finish a project when it is…
LifeProof Nuud – Use Protection with Your iPad
Nothing comes between me and my iPad… Nothing. Am I aging myself here with that line? I do hate the feeling of anything coming between me and my iPad. The touch screen interface is a huge part of the user experience. The moment you cover that screen, you begin to compromise the experience. I’m not…
Here’s My (Sleep) Number…
Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here’s my Sleep Number, so zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I haven’t been sleeping so great for the last year or two. My mattress was old. Old and tired. Which left me feeling older and tireder than I ought to feel. That is why I jumped at the chance…
October is Fair Trade Month
Did you know that October is Fair Trade Month? I realize that this term has become a bit trendy. Sort of like “gluten free” and “eco”. It’s easy to dismiss this as buzz but Fair Trade is so much more than a food fad. It’s a movement that has the power to make the world…
I Hate My Guts: 10 Things About Being Gluten Free
This past weekend was a sucker punch. A one two disaster of epic gastric distress proportion. My freak flag flew high. The headline: Girl Gets Served “Gluten Free” Pizza That isn’t Gluten Free. The weekend retreat was promising. But the first night’s restaurant was horrid. After realizing they’d poisoned me, they grabbed the evidence, ran…
The Savior of My Sanity is an OCD 4 Yr Old
We’ve slipped into a post summer household rut. Still waiting to get our groove on with fall routines. Sun bleached beach towels are still swaying stiffly in the breeze “drying out” out back of the house. I should wash them. Pack them away, before they disintegrate. It’s a game of towel chicken though. Every day…
Pre School Problems = First World Problems of Parenting
There was a time when the biggest parenting problems I could imagine involved nose picking, a fascination with weenies and whether I could con my kid into eating veggies. I was in good company. Preschool parents like to worry. And they like to take action. Right now there’s a petition circulating about backpacks. The two…
Period Emergency Bags for Tween & Teen Girls
I’m going to discuss a sort of sensitive subject with you, which is why I require a cup of coffee first. Pour yourself some before you read on. Remember when your kids were in preschool and you would get ready for a new school year by packing a bag with “emergency supplies”? I do. I’m…
There’s No Big Reveal With Invisalign
It’s been about 16 weeks and my teeth have noticeably changed. They’ve moved and my whole smile has shifted. It’s more even, broader and well…. smilier. But I’m a little pissed off. Nobody’s noticed. Earlier this summer, about 24 hours (whew!) before her registration for the fall semester, my oldest daughter had her (traditional) braces…
DIY Portable Movie Screen for Outdoor, Drive In Movie Nights
There’s something about watching a movie outdoors, under the stars. I have so many fond memories of going to the drive-in as a kid and watching movies on the side of a barn at camp. Sitting out in the fresh air, crickets chirping, nobody caring if you spilled some popcorn or your drink… Movies are…
