A few years ago, my mom gave me crystal deodorant as a gift. I was skeptical as I am typically wary of the “green” things she gives me, as she has a tendency to fall for green washing. I had been using traditional deodorant & antiperspirant since puberty, and I really wanted to get away from it because of the […]

Our trusty Toro Electric Snow Blower died during the first blizzard of 2015 that slammed us with 2 feet of snow.

Posted on August 8, 2013 Written by 1 Comment
As we have learned more about eating healthy, we have been trying to limit the amount of nitrites and nitrates that our family consumes.

Have you tried seaweed as a snack? In the past, my daughter and I have loved seaweed salad, but I find it to be a little pricey, so it’s more of a treat than something we eat regularly. Fresh seaweed has an interesting chewy texture that I really enjoy, I must admit, I’m a texture […]
