Back To School Products

With school just around the corner for some, what better of a time to share some of the cute supplies you can use on your school layouts. Our three youngest have already started back to school, and thus there has already been the traditional first day of school photographs, as well as several classroom photographs. With five kids in school this year, I would imagine that I will be inundated by hundreds of school photographs by the end of the school year. This means countless layouts and new ideas that I will have to come up with. Thank goodness for … Continue reading →

As Seen On TV

My home is so cluttered with products I thought I just had to have. What can I say? I am a sucker for anything that claims it can make my life easier.

If you are anything like me then you may have already experienced buyer’s remorse on several “As Seen On TV” products that found their way into your shopping cart and subsequently into a hall closet. … Continue reading →

Watch The Lemons–Mom’s At It Again!

You’re familiar with the adage: “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Well, if you give my mom lemons, don’t expect lemonade; expect a cleaning product.

The woman who taught me how to get a hairbrush so clean I almost feel guilty using it on my dirty hair. The woman who laminated a sheet of hand-written stain-removal tips and neatly tucked it into my suitcase … Continue reading →

Holy Cow! Safe Cleaning Products!

She never used any “safe” or “natural” cleaning products. It was bleach, chemicals, and a lot of elbow grease. Her house is immaculate, and always has been, even through seven children! … Continue reading →
