One of the things I always try to make sure I have on hand at home is string cheese. Finding out that I am diabetic forced me to change my habits dramatically. Obviously I had to cut a lot of sweets from my diet, but one of the things I had to do was plan [...]
Fathers Day with RedEnvelope.com REVIEW
My husband is a pretty difficult person to buy for. He either buys whatever he wants, when he wants or the item he wants is so ridiculously expensive, I can’t buy it for him (like the insanely expensive driver he wanted for our anniversary…we ended up buying a piece of furniture for the house). Father’s [...]

Changes and Improvements to Infant and Children’s Tylenol

Cascade Complete…No More Soaking Review and Giveaway (5 winners)
Raise your hand if you soak your dishes overnight or scrub them almost clean before putting them in the dishwasher. It’s OK…you don’t have to really raise your hand! But seriously…I bet more people pretty much clean their dishes completely before placing them in the dishwasher, but why? What’s the point? I mean sure, you [...]
Pedigree Dog Food Finale
Over the past few weeks, I’ve written about Pedigree Dog Food (you can read them here and here). Overall, I think Pedigree dog food is a fine dog food. We’ve tried many brands over the years and I think Pedigree dog food has been the best for her coat. She’s never had a shinier coat [...]
The Final Summit by Andy Andrews REVIEW
I rarely get time to read. Most of the time I have to lock myself in the bathroom and pretend I’m having tummy troubles to get a few moments to myself to be able to read a book. And that is exactly what I did when I received The Final Summit by Andy Andrews…I pretended [...]
