It’s been a while since I shared any favorite things. It might turn into a weekly occurrence, but don’t quote me on that. This week I bring you: A Paleo Compliant Snack: Dang! Onion Chips Even if I wasn’t attempting to be Paleo, I would still gorge on these. If you are better at Paleo...
Nothing says I’m waiting for the arrival of a Savior like: Overspending on more stuff we don’t need. Lying to our kids about where all the stuff came from. (We don’t do this, but I hear there are some families who do.) Forcing our kids to sit on a stranger’s lap and even smile about...

(Post title pun intended…so sorry ;)) Do you remember when Stain Stick was a big thing? Do people still use that? We’re lucky clothes see the washing machine let alone get pre-treated.
