Ellie’s a pretty great toddler and I have very little to complain about, including her eating. I don’t know if it was from the Baby-Led Weaning or just her personality, but she a very good eater. She eats a large variety of things and is willing to try new things. She loves the healthy food, [...]

Pin ItUpcycling Day 13 – Glass Jar to Tupperware #freefromtrash
You can stop buying tupperware and use your glass jars instead. This was once a pasta sauce jar, but now it can serve as a keeper of left-overs. Added bonus is that it doesn’t retain to smells as easy as the plastic stuff. If you want, you can even use some chalk board paint around [...]
Pin ItUpcycling Day 7 – Plastic Straw to Necklace Keeper #freefromtrash
Here is a great site of ideas for a straw. But, the most useful and easy use for a straw is a sheath for necklaces to keep them from getting tangled. Great for traveling and storing! Just run one end through the straw, cut straw if needed, and reclose the clasp. Ta da! Tip: If [...]
Pin ItBreaking a new babysitter / Happy anniversary, honey.
About a month ago, I started another search for babysitters through Care.com in preparation for our anniversary night out. I’m much more relaxed about babysitting than I used to be and I wanted to find someone a little less expensive. Early on, I was willing to pay that $13/hr rate, but now it just seems [...]
Coffee, I’m breaking up with you.

Pin ItWhat came first, the chicken or the left-over CHICKEN LASAGNA WRAPS?

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 [...]
Apparently you can dye deviled eggs.
I made deviled eggs for Sunday brunch with some friends and a thought occurred to me… Can I dye them? And, apparently the answer is YES! I made a couple bowls of water, egg dye tablets, and little salt. Then, I placed the egg white halves in the bowls. I thought it might be cool [...]
