Homemade Cloth Pads- Type 2

I love reusable cloth menstrual pads. I didn’t have a large enough stash though, and needed to use disposable pads last time my Aunt Flo came. Big mistake. My cycles are so much heavier and more uncomfortable when I’m using chemical saturated disposable sanitary napkins that I hopefully will never need to use them again. […]

The Great Shoe Debate

I’m a Croc-a-holic, sort of. If you took a look at my shoe closet and saw my white Crocs, orange Crocs, 2 pairs of black Crocs and one pair of grey Crocs, you’d probably think I have some sort of a love affair with these wacky new shoes of the 21st century. This is not […]

Weekly Grocery Shop- 10/12/10

For a while I was posting my weekly or bi-weekly grocery shop to give people an idea of what I was buying, but I fell out of the habit. Today, though, I was in the grocery store and the cashier saw how much the total bill was, and then how much it got lowered after […]
