I love Candles, they are literally all over my house. The thing is, I don’t like burning them, at least not with a toddler running around.

Do you clean your dishwasher? Most of us, including my family, don’t ever think about cleaning the dishwasher. I mean, why would you? The dishes are getting cleaner so the dishwasher should be getting cleaner too, right? Wrong. Over time hidden dirt, grease and lime scale do build up and this will reduce the …
Now that September is here and the kids are back in school it is back to the usual routine. This is a great time to get yourself organized and one of the areas of my house most in need of cleaning (ironically enough) is my cleaning supply storage area. I decided it was time to …

My family loves real ice cream for a cool summer treat and avoid “Frozen Desserts”. Even still, when I read some of the ingredients on the ice cream containers I don’t feel like saying “Yum!” “FRESH CREAM, MODIFIED MILK INGREDIENTS, SUGAR, GLUCOSE, PURE GROUND VANILLA BEANS, NATURAL FLAVOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, CELLULOSE GUM, …
I love pop so much, I can’t even lie about it. There just isn’t anything as refreshing as a cold soda. Just something about the little bubbles is irresistible to me. However, since I’ve been trying to lose my pregnancy weight I’ve been trying to cut down on the soda drinking. Wouldn’t …
