Hey Fini-
These are for you!
Sorry they’re like *weeks* late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Yes, I still have more presents to sew, but I’ve been lazy.
For the rest of you, these are cloth grocery bags but really they could be used for anything. I’ve used mine for zoo & beach trips, for clothes & toys, [...]

Eddie’s birthday is next week, but we gave him his present today:
And oh man are they having fun with this!
Neither one has mastered the spin-out yet, but I’m sure the day is coming soon. This is a Kettlercar and I’m impressed how well this car stays on all 4 wheels. It’s a [...]

Okay, I lost some readers after my Reduce post and thought I’d not mention the “R” word for awhile, but I’ve got to share this:
This is my hair after over 6 weeks without ANY hair products what-so-ever! Now, my hair has been frizzy, oily, dandruff-y, and just plain hard to manage ever since I [...]

FYI… Chris put up this post. Yes, it’s true- he’s finally converting to the “blog”-side. (This is his second post. You may have missed his first post which was an edit of my Reduce post. Please check it out if you have a minute.)
Chris took this panoramic shot. The picture is [...]

As a stay-at-home mom, the household budget isn’t very big as most of you can relate. Over the last few nights, I’ve been reading blogs about some Australian moms who are trying their best to lessen their “Ecological footprint”. I am again inspired to do something. In this case, it’s to reduce- [...]
