If your kids or even you have sticky fingers, then finger prints, food and dust can grime up your computer and LCD TV screens.  My husband and I recently donated our 150 pound glass screen monster TV and brought down our LCD flat screen from our master bedroom.  We try to keep our children from touching our TV and computer screens, but it still happens occasionally.

Boiling Pot of Water A Stain Fighter?

Boiling Water Stain Remover

The other day I fed my kids a huge carton of red raspberries and somehow my mischievous five-year-old son walked off with his bowl.  My son is known to experiment with his food.  To my horror my son had taken his raspberries and stomped them into the floor.  The raspberries had been in my tan colored carpet for at least three or four hours before I noticed the stain.

I am a mommy to three beautiful children my oldest being five and youngest five months.  I have changed lots of diapers in my life time and it is one area I really dislike.  I wish a baby came out potty trained and ready to wear undies and wipe their own bottoms, but that is not reality.  The pee is not so much an issue as is the poop.  I… more

I recently became a cloth diaper user, but the thought of stripping my cloth diapers terrified me.  I pictured myself hanging over my bathtub scrubbing my diapers clean, as sweat beads trickled off my brow.  This past week I hit my seventh month mark in use with some of my cloth diapers and five months with the rest of my stash.  My diapers smelled clean, but my daughter Ayla’s diapers… more

Spring Cleaning Challenge – Inexpensive Bathroom Organization Tips

Bathroom Organizing

Yesterday, I talked about tackling the shoe and paper clutter in your life.  Well, today I am spring cleaning and organizing my master bathroom.  I detest my master bathroom because of its layout, and there is no storage.  Every inch of my bathroom is builder-grade quality, and I am certain the person who designed it did not have little girls with hair ribbons, a wife who has makeup, or even… more
