What is a germ bucket you ask? Well, it’s a place to quickly throw all those boogered up and drooled on toys that my child care kids use every day. I do all I can to keep the germs at bay in my home. With other peoples children here I try even harder to keep everyone healthy. I do not have time to disinfect every toy each day so I created the “germ bucket”. I use a shoe box sized plastic container and leave it…
I know, I know…It has taken me forever to finally post my Mod Podge art project that I’ve been talking about for months. Well, folks, I finally have it finished, on the wall, and photographed! For those of you who are new, check out this post on how to create your own wall art using Mod Podge, by one of our contributors, Suzanne. (her bio coming soon) I am VERY pleased on how it turned out and think it is a great addition to our…
I absolutely cannot live without Costco. For those not in the know, Costco is a membership warehouse — http://www.costco.com/. I’ve had a Costco membership since 1988 or so. So, why do I heart Costco so much? I shop less often, probably 4 or 5 times a year at Costco. I do not do a huge weekly grocery shop. I buy milk, dairy products, fruits and vegetables at the grocery store, but all other items for my home come from Costco. It has been close to…

Well…I’ve got the answer=) You need somewhere to keep them and a organization method. There are so many ways to do this, and since each of us is different I’m going to share a few ideas, with links.. Index Box: from Money Saving Mom Binder: from Out of the Overflow Coupon Organizer: from Organizing Junkie **Like I said there are many ways…
Yes, that’s right my I Can’t Live Without It item is the Zip Loc Bag. Not a high-tech device. Not a handheld gadget. Not some new just-released item. But the lowly Zip Loc Bag — a much-used item in many households, including my own. I seriously don’t know what I would do without these babies. Think about it. Does a day go by when you don’t use a bag or two? Zip Loc Bags by Use and by Place according to Mom on the Run…
How many remote controls do you have sitting on your table? If your husband is a technology lover (like most are) you have at least 2. I never knew what remote did what or how to turn on the X Box for my son, or even how to turn on the dvd player for myself…I was just confused. When my husband looked at me with his big brown puppy dog eyes and asked if he could get a new remote to go with his…
::GIVEAWAY CLOSED:: Remember all of those baby blankets you received at your shower that were itchy, scratchy and even broke your newborn’s skin out? I personally have a whole drawer full of unused baby blankets, which are mostly made from microfiber and polyester blends. Is it possible to have a soft, cozy blanket made from natural materials? Obviously, cotton is a soft, natural alternative, but did you know bamboo is as well? I didn’t either until I tried out the Shi Shu Snuggler! Shi…
