Meet my precious: the Keurig coffee maker. The Mother’s Day gift I made my husband and son give me last year. Best gift I ever picked for myself, and trust me, I’ve picked a lot. I was an avid coffee press person right up until the time my husband suddenly decided to start drinking coffee [...]

Disclaimer: I love Tide laundry detergent. It’s the only detergent I use to wash my clothes.  I adore the way it smells and it is the only laundry soap that my husband’s overly sensitive skin can handle.  We’ve tried every product under the sun, and we always come back to Tide. So when Tide had [...]

My favorite snack food in life is popcorn. Specifically, I love buttered popcorn. More specifically, I like popcorn drenched in warm butter and coated with salt. Air popped popcorn, as far as I’m concerned, is from the devil. But oh, how I love my hot air popcorn popper. I have a Presto Poplite Popper that [...]

I first read about the On Task On Time unit over at Work It Mom. I spent the next 30 minutes figuring out how to get my hands on one, and then sent a barrage of pestering emails to their PR department. A few days later, FedEx delivered salvation to my front door. Let me [...]

I get a lot of emails from PR people who are both very serious and very excited about their very serious and important products.

If a product says “As Seen on TV”, I’m automatically skeptical. I tend to assume that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I probably wouldn’t have even tried the Debbie Meyer Green Bags if they hadn’t been given to me by stepmom. What are Debbie Meyer GreenBags? According to the [...]

I have discovered the one gift that someone can buy me that will magically change my life forever.  In fact, I think if you buy any woman this gift, you will dramatically improve the quality of her life.  She’ll love you forever. I’m sure of it. I want a label maker. Strike that. I need [...]

I’ve been on a primarily low carb diet for about 4 years now.  I mean, if you don’t count the months here and there where I decide to completely sabotage myself and eat anything and everything I can get my hands on. The thing about eating low carb for that long is that it gets [...]

Some kitchen gadgets make life easier in the kitchen. Some kitchen gadgets look cool. And some kitchen gadgets are overpriced pieces of crap that are way too much work to use than the original tool they were meant to replace. I do a lot of chopping and dicing and cutting into little pieces in my [...]

My friend Deanna has the most glorious kitchen. And while her cabinetry is beautiful and her granite counters are to die for, what really makes me swoon are all her kitchen gadgets. Cooking in her kitchen is like being on a cooking show. I’m convinced the reason everything she makes turns out better than when [...]
