With the warm weather now upon us, hopefully, I have been noticing more and more garage sales setting up shop every Saturday and Sunday. Many people dispose of old unwanted items and tend to make a fairly good profit on the sale. I remember a garage sale my mom put on where she ended up [...]

It’s probably a little early to be dreaming about snow but with the muggy weather I had today, I’m almost ready for winter. Well, almost ready…okay, not really, but the thought of winter made me think that it would be an excellent time to share my recipe for Whipped Snow.
This is a fun little recipe [...]
Welcome to part two of buying a layette for your baby. If you have been with me for a while, you will probably remember the first post about buying a layette. I know that usually this is just one article but since I am writing a few points about every item, I decided to break [...]
It has been a while since I wrote a cheat sheet for That Parent Place so I figured it was time to do so again. Right now, I am the proud snail-sitter of about 10 snails. They will be going back into a nice spot in my yard very soon, not the garden where they [...]
