Why would anyone want to make their own laundry soap, when commercial detergents are so convenient and readily available? I’ll give you 3 reasons: It’s less expensive. It’s eco-friendly (less packaging, no harsh chemicals). It’s easy (I chose to make the powdered version because it’s the easiest)! If you’d like to try making your own […]
I Made a Weeknight Dinner Special
Perhaps I’ve fooled you into thinking that I am near perfect. Somehow I manage to blog regularly, care for two small children, work outside of the home 2 days a week, keep my home running smoothly, and my family well-fed. Naw, you probably know that I cut as many corners as possible (hopefully not on […]

Fragmented Fridays
Sometimes I just don’t get what the big deal is about whatever happens to be popular. Take for example cake pops. Big deal! Everyone goes on and on about them like they’re the best thing since sliced cake. They don’t sound all that great to me. I mean aren’t they just mushed up cake and […]
Bisexual Novels
I like to think that all the great novels I’ve read are non-gender specific, meaning that they appeal to both genders. I love Milan Kundera novels and a huge part of the appeal for me is that even though he is a man, he writes women that I recognize. Sometimes I see myself in the […]

On a Beautiful Sunny Day
I wake up in a good mood, happy to be surrounded by family and feeling the love. My mother is visiting and Unknown Papi is around, which is rare. Our plan was to go to the library to see a puppet show. Since Unknown Papi didn’t have to be to work until later, I asked […]
Google, Quit Freakin’ Me Out!
Google, as I have mentioned before, I totally dig your search engine; it’s the tops. I pretty much use it everyday and think it’s way better than the 1/4 set of Encyclopedia Britannica I grew up with (I could only ever do reports on things at the beginning of the alphabet). As far as your search […]

Fragmented Fridays
My mother is visiting and as usual she came bearing gifts. You never know with my mother, sometimes she gets the perfect gift and other times her gifts leave you thinking WTF?! Usually, I’m the one that ends up with the WTF gift while everyone else gets an awesome gift. Not this time. This time […]
