Things I {heart}: child of mine

January 10, 2011January 10, 2011Favorite Things, Parenting

My mom is a healthnut. For better or worse, I “inherited” her healthnut-mom attitude. In our house that means a lot of whole grains, balanced meals, treats in moderation, occasional uses of super-healthy alternatives like flax meal and wheat germ for eggs and bread crumbs respectively, and frequenty hiding of veggies in meals to boost...

Things I {heart}: L-Bow Mittens & Gloves

December 16, 2010December 16, 2010Favorite Things

Seeing as the kids are out playing in our first mentionable snow right now, it’s a great time to tell you about the mittens & gloves that keep all those fingers and wrists toasty without lots of “Mom! There’s snow inside my glove!” Introducing L-Bow. It’s pretty genius in the why-didn’t-I-think-of-that category. They are waterproof...

Things I {heart}: curly girl

June 14, 2010June 14, 2010Favorite Things

I was on a forum recently when I came across a conversation about a book called Curly Girl. Having Asian-straight hair, I would normally overlook such a topic, but now I have a curly girl of my own to think about. From what I could gather, Curly Girl recommended only using conditioner (not shampoo). Thankfully...

Things I {heart}: household tips

1. Use white vinegar as a fabric softener in your rinse water. Environmentally-friendly and a heck of a lot less expensive than Downy, vinegar makes a great fabric softener and will not leave its strong scent on your clothes. 2. Use dripping water to defrost meats quickly. I’m a great meal planner but I stink...

Things I {heart}: Websites

I guess in this case, it’s actually a blog called A Penny Saved. I came across this blog because the author, Jen, seems to stop by our blog periodically. I love the blog format for deals over forums because I can subscribe via RSS feed and the posts come directly to my inbox. I love all...

Things I {heart}: Children's Books

I love sharing things I love. Mostly because things I love make my life easier, more peaceful, or just plain happier. What better place to share things I love than on my blog? Today I was reading Ty a book. Hooray! Ty’s sitting through books. Oops. Sorry. Where was I? Anyway, I was reading Ty...
