We just barely took our Christmas tree down and now I'm talking about Valentine's Day! I am a hopeless romantic who adores chocolate, roses, and jewlery. My husband does so much to let me know daily that he loves me, but every once and a while, it's nice to get an actual gi... Read More »

I feel very fortunate that I married a man who is not consumed with sports. We don't have to be home on Sundays during football season or enslaved to the TV or radio during baseball season. On the contrary, I am more of a sports enthusiast than he is. My two favorite sports ... Read More »

It's not often that I write about causes. But breast cancer is one such issue I feel strongly about. Part of the reason I feel so strongly about it, is that I knew a girl in nursing school who was a breast cancer survivor. She was misdiagnosed (due to her young age) and en... Read More »

It's winter and it's COLD (at least for Southern California it is!)...especially at night (in the 40's!). We live in a two-story house and because heat rises, we often find that turning the heater on warms the upstairs but leaves us freezing downstairs. Since our living room is ... Read More »

Now that the holidays are over, I'm looking forward to a tiny break when it comes to the kitchen. While I'm not a huge fan of packaged foods, I do utilize them on occasion. With two children and a husband who goes back to work this week, I'm on my own!
I have to admi... Read More »

I like to think I'm fairly conscious of my impact on the environment. Over 90% of the products we use in our home are "green," and we do our part to reduce, reuse, and recycle. One of the most challenging aspects for me was giving up my bottled water. I *know* it's not any b... Read More »

Pizza is one of my favorite foods. And while I have my local favorites, I'm not entirely picky when it comes to pizza because I don't envision how it would be possible to make a "bad" pizza. Speaking of pizza, we've been eating a lot of it because it's so convenient to have ... Read More »

One of the reasons I enjoy the product review side of my blog is that I get to try new products I otherwise would never have the opportunity to try. And the other aspect I enjoy is the opportunity to share with you about the products we use all the time in our home. There ... Read More »

I am one of the first to admit that I just adore shopping for my kids. I don't even bother shopping for myself anymore because it's so much more fun to pick out smart threads for my 2 year old or pretty dresses for my newborn. For the most part, I purchase eco-friendly, ... Read More »

It's been one week since our baby girl was born...one week! It's so hard to believe that in one week our lives could change so much. Our baby girl definitely surprised us all, considering two days prior to her arrival, my physician was telling me she was definitely not c... Read More »
