Read More Homemade Laundry Detergent and Fabric SoftenerToday was my first day back at my seasonal fish and wildlife job. As much fun as the job is, I’m so sad that I’m letting someone else have all the fun of being with my kids all day.

Read More Back To The GrindMy hands have gotten seriously rough-side-of-the-velcro dry from all the yard work we’ve been doing, and we got a lull in the good weather, (snowing big fat nasty flakes) so I figured it was a good day to take a deep breath and do my dishes, catch up on some laundry, and make lotion bars.
