I recently discovered a not-so-pleasant odor from our Samsung HE washer. Ever get a whiff of your washer and make a face? Not good. I came up with a plan of attack that worked in one try! First, I discovered that there was a filter panel on the front of the machine that was supposed [...]

DIY Mini Compost Pail and K-cup Salvaging
We still have k-cups to finish in the house, but I have plan. Savor a cup of coffee. (Or forget about it while I’m chasing Ellie around.) Recycle the foil. Compost the grounds and filter. Donate the cups in Freecycle for someone to use for seed plantings (there’s even a hole on the bottom!) I’ve [...]
Pin ItSplish Splash Play Date
Walked over to a play date this afternoon with swim suits in hand (actually, in backpack!) You can have a great afternoon with some kiddie pools, water table, and friends. FYI – If you’re kiddo is going to do a lot of swimming this summer, I highly recommend getting a reusable swim diaper. We got [...]
The slippery slope of eco-thought.
It’s a slippery slope. Once you find yourself going down the what’s-good-for-the-planet train of thought, you find that there is no easy stopping point. Well, if I care about waste from k-cups, why don’t I care about the waste from that bag of shredded cheese? Look at all this packaged crap… How much trash have [...]
Coffee, I’m breaking up with you.
Dear (cup of) Joe, I loved making love to you in my Keurig. For the first time, it was so nice that I could have my single cup of whatever flavor I want and it was perfect every time. Our relationship was strained back in the Mr. Coffee days. How much coffee to put in? [...]
Pin ItSaving Money One Haircut at a Time
Cutting Rob’s hair is something I’ve been wanting to try for a long time, but I wasn’t confident enough to try until now. Sherry at Young House Love recently posted a tutorial on cutting John’s hair that was SUPER helpful and gave me the confidence. (Plus, I figured the “Wow, it actually smells like lasagna” [...]
Pin ItWhat came first, the chicken or the left-over CHICKEN LASAGNA WRAPS?
Last night we made chicken gyros, but as with any time we make chicken, we had TONS of leftovers. I didn’t want the leftovers to turn into something green that I pull out of the fridge a month later, so I needed an idea. Da dada DA…in comes Pinterest to save the day! Chicken lasagna [...]
Pin ItSummer time… and the livin’s easy…
Okay, perhaps my title is a little premature, but to me, this is summer. (Perhaps it was my years living in Syracuse, NY… but any sunny day over 80 equals summer). Ellie and I attended a themed picnic, yesterday. Locals, we went to Savage Park and it was fabulous! Easy and close parking to picnic [...]
