A few weeks ago, I brought my son’s mattress into my bedroom for a “sleepover”. As we were curled up in bed reading stories, a SPIDER came crawling onto the bed!! It was as terrible as you might imagine…screaming, jumping, pounding the spider, LOSING the spider and panicking because, well, DID WE GET IT?? Eventually …

If you’re a mom like me, you’ve likely dealt with your fair share of wetting accidents on the bed. If you have a pet, you’ve likely dealt with the same darn thing (though hopefully not on the bed!!!). My youngest does NOT want to be potty trained. He’s 5 1/2 years old, has autism, …

I found a recipe for homemade dishwasher detergent from a magazine (I’m so sorry, I don’t remember which one…). I haven’t yet tried it, but thought I would post it for you if you’re interested. I’ll be trying it as soon as I get to the store to get the stuff, and I’ll share my …

Okay, let me explain the Parmesan container. This is a must have for the CONTAINER ONLY.:-) It’s a perfect holder for baking soda-type cleaners. You could use a baby powder container instead, but I had to explain that first off. And the windex container does not actually contain Windex. It is my homemade glass cleaner. …
