The kids rooms are becoming more and more cluttered so I have been looking for a good solution for them to keep their clutter contained. These Reusable Plastic Multi Purpose Storage Boxes have helped a lot. The youngest keeps all his toys in it and the older one keeps her sewing stuff hidden away so her room appears cleaner. But there are many different uses for these boxes and I can picture them uses in moving or storage under the bed or even in the a, although the colors are much too pretty to be hidden away in some attic. There are 5 different sizes  from under the bed to…

I think by now my readers know me well enough to know that I use a lot of non traditional ingredients in my cooking.  I first discovered coconut flour when I did the HCG diet last year and lost 40 pounds. It is great for replacing flour in dessert recipes and was a legal item during the third phase of the diet. I kept the habit of using it whenever possible because it is better for you than traditional white flour and tastes better than wheat flour, plus if you have a Gluten intolerance you can have coconut. Normally I just go buy coconut flour in the store but it comes in…

I have been a fan of coconut oil for almost a year now. I first discovered it as a hair product and did not know you could eat it. Like most people, coconut oil was never introduced in my family growing up.  I was so excited when I found out that coconut oil was actually a healthier oil, so I stocked up and became brand loyal to an unspecified brand . Then I discovered Tropical Traditions and fell in love. Before you run out the door to purchase some coconut oil there are a couple things to keep in mind. There are different types of coconut oil and you should know which one you need…

Living with 2 children in a home with beige carpet should not be done, ever. It is a miracle we have made it 8 months already with minimal carpet stains.  Luckily I received a bottle of Perky Spotter Plus right before some nice sized food stains appeared on the carpet near the kitchen entry way. I must say I was amazed at how well this product worked on the stains, which you can view below. Not only did it lift the stain completely but it left the original carpet’s color intact. I have found that other products left the carpet lighter in the areas that the cleaner had contact so…

My daughter recently picked out these really cute items from sheinside.com to review and we could not be more pleased with the quality and style of the items. I think I was kind of regretting that I let her choose items to have instead of something for myself. She picked out a Black Sleeveless Leopard Romper and a Leopard Patchwork Blouse. The quality of both items is very good; all seams were intact and the construction was solid. The fabric for the blouse is cotton and chiffon. The colors for the blouse contrast nicely and the blouse has a unique tail design that I have not seen anywhere else. My daughter…

My daughter loves to be unique and have things that no one else will have so when she was offered the chance to review LockerGlitz, a magnetic wall covering made especially for lockers, she jumped at the chance. The package arrived quickly and I was surprised at how heavy the package was. I was expecting flimsy plastic wallpaper like the type you purchase to cover a wall, but when I removed the pieces from the tube I discovered they are thick magnetized sheets.   You get 4 pieces of wall covering, enough to completely cover a locker. The pieces roll up easily and leave no creases or folds when you…
