After many years of dealing with the leaking faucet, the slightly off-kilter cabinet doors and the drawers that stick along their tracks until you coerce it to open/close with your elbow, shoulder and heel, we are finally redoing our kitchen. I gingerly danced through the aisles, humming and smiling as I browsed cabinet hardware, knobs, […]

Now that I’ve got my children’s lunch preparation down to a system, I decided to throw a wench in the process. Life is only fun when you’re constantly shaking things up, right? Seriously, though, I’ve decided to put more effort into creating green lunches for my kids. […]

Halloween is exactly 19 days away, but who’s counting, right? Actually, if I had to take a guess, your kids probably are. And that means that it’s time for you, as the parent, to get organized. With 19 days left (or even with two or three) you still have enough time to come […]

With the school year in full swing again, it’s time for the dreaded “H” word. One of the things that I most enjoy with my children during the summer is the lack of homework. Sure, they do their summer reading and other resource packets, but there isn’t the same […]

I enjoy working in my kitchen. Really. I love turning on the radio or listening to my iTunes as I dance around the kitchen and whip up a healthy meal or a cake that will make my kitchen smell heavenly. But it wasn’t always that way. Only a few short months […]

Learning how to create a budget is the first step towards fiscal responsibility. Whether you’re saving for your child’s braces, the trip you’ve always wanted to take or a piece of jewelry, knowing how much money you have- and how much you need to live- is critical. I recently took a finance course […]

There’s no denying that fall is here. It gets darker earlier, the sky is a bit cloudier, the weather is getting cooler…and the fashions are changing from light colors to darker shades.

I’m tired. It’s the end of a long workday and there are dirty dishes piled high in the sink and toys littering the floor. There are stale Cheerios on the floor as well, left there by a well-intentioned baby who is still learning how to feed herself and there is enough dirty clothing […]

During my summer vacation, I met a most fascinating man. He is nearly blind and his wife suffers from limited mobility. In order to be able to enjoy in his ‘’hobby†of inviting guests from all over the world, this man has created an obvious- yet easily overlooked- system for creating freezer efficiency. […]
