Protecting Ourselves From Identity Theft

by barb March 21, 2011

There’s a lot of bad out there, but one of the things I fear most is “identity theft.” It’s scary to imagine; one minute you have everything…your social security number, your credit, your “life on paper” (so to speak), and the next thing you know—POOF—it’s ALL gone. Just like that and in an instant, everything [...]

Pretty Neat Review and Giveaway

by barb March 7, 2011

There was a time when my house was 100% clutter free. It was so perfect in every way; I swear it was the most organized, most unrealistically clean houses you’ve ever seen or walked through. It was absolutely beautiful…one of the best.  Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Since the girls have gotten older; I’ve [...]

I was Unplugged Yesterday

by barb February 20, 2011

That’s right…I did a blog ‘detox’ (clearing my head) for a little over 24 hours. And I have to say…I am pretty impressed with how little I agonized over being away from my blog. It was pretty hard at first, but once I started cleaning—there was nothing to it. I only jumped on my computer [...]

Skoy Cloth Product Review

by barb December 16, 2010

  Impressive. Very, very impressive. I mean seriously—can you imagine a cleaning cloth that is durable enough to outlast 15 rolls of paper towels?
