Winter Gardening fun with the Gigglin’ Garden Gang #GoGreenNGiggle #CBias
Teaching my kids about being responsible citizens and taking care of the environment is important to me, and one of the best tools I’ve found to do so is our little garden, which I’ve blogged about several times.

Also, many of you readers as well as my local friends have voiced an interest in gardening with kids but … Read entire article »

Christmas on a Budget: Consignment and Garage Sales
If you can embrace the concept of new-to-you gifts, consignment stores/sales and garage sales are a great place to score fantastic gifts at a fraction of the price.

STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment Review #engineluv #CBias
This is a guest post by my husband, Craig, who takes care of our vehicles. I enjoy taking care of the basic maintenance needs for our vehicles – a 2005 Acura TSX and 2004 Toyota Tacoma. When I say ‘basic’ I mean the easy stuff like changing the oil, spark plugs, air filters, using a wireless ratchet like these to tighten the bolts and topping off fluids.
