I have a friend that has several salt lamps in her living room, it's one of the most peaceful places I know. I love to go over and just sit in there. Now I have my own salt lamp! I have been enjoying my new salt lamp in my office for a few weeks now.I had was interested in trying out a salt lamp to see if it would help out with my horrible allergies. Even with taking prescription medicine I still have itchy eyes. So I decided to set up my Himalayan Salt Lamp next to my desk. I spend a large ...
A New York Year
New York is on my bucket list of places to take Peyton when she gets older. But until then, we can read A New York Year Twelve Months in the Life of New York's Kids by Tania McCartney. The first few pages of A New York Year we meet some New York children that are going to help tell us about the twelve months of the year. Fabian, Madison, Jayla, Sofia and Alexander all live in New York. Each child tells us about their interests and what they would like to be when they grow up. What I found ...
Stay Charged While on the Road
Today Peyton and I are heading up north to do some camping. Like camping camping. No electricity, anywhere. I need a way to keep my phone charged while we are traveling.

Let There Be Light
Many of you know that I work a full-time job as well as run Peyton's Momma. So that means I'm working some long hours! Frequently, I am up working until the wee hours of the morning or I'm getting up dawn to get some writing done. Which means, often I am working in the dark. I had a little desk lamp that I thought was doing well. It seemed to give me a fair amount of light but I was constantly repositioning it depending on what I was doing so I could see. I thought I had the best solution to my ...
Save Your Clothes!
Years ago, what seems like a lifetime ago, I worked in a fine linen store. It was an eye opener. I learned more about fabrics in the time I worked there than I ever knew there was to know about fabrics. I learned why my towels lost their absorbency, why clothes lost their shape, colors faded and so much more. The one common factor was fabric softener! Can you believe it? I had grown up my whole life and thought you had to use fabric softener, only to find out you don't. There are alternatives I ...
