I just read in a magazine that if you buy a nice blender it deserves a home on your counter so you'll remember to use it. Well, we have a nice blender the Pampered Chef Deluxe Cooking Blender and it's been used at least once a day since we bought it. My husband and I have been planning our morning smoothies the night before, it's serious business. Last night we planned on a ...

Dollar Store Refrigerator Makeover
I have zero organization in our home, it's pretty ridiculous how unorganized we are. I think a lot of it has to do with cost, I think anyone's home could look like it was on the cover of a pretty organization magazine if you had unlimited funds and access to Ikea and The Container Store. Well, we definitely don't have unlimited funds, and if I use the online store locators ...

Back to school, at 28 years old.
As of this morning, I'm officially a full-time college student at UW Milwaukee. As of last night I didn't get any sleep because I somehow mysteriously screwed up my shoulder, I think it's just because I turned 28 last week and I'm getting old and broken. This morning I'm just sitting here doing some laundry, tidying up around the house, getting some work done on the blog, and ...

Gator School with Aliceana
Aliceana is unschooled, which means she picks her learning path, and we find really fun ways to learn with a pretty loose curriculum. We love to travel, explore new places, play with science experiments, read, play games and more. Aliceana is pretty obsessed with other YouTubers that she watches on YouTube Kids. So we decided that she could start her own channel with our ...
What to buy to prepare for wisdom tooth extraction recovery
I just had my wisdom teeth extracted, a procedure that definitely didn't go as planned because I waited too long, but that's a whole different story. There were definitely things I should have thought to get ahead of time, and things that helped me out that I didn't even consider beforehand. So I thought I would put together a list of things you need to buy to prepare for the ...
The first loose tooth.
The other day I was sitting with Aliceana and she looked at me and said, "My tooth is loose." I was surprised and immediately inspected the situation and sure enough her front tooth was incredibly loose. I told her to wiggle it like crazy when we're at home, but leave it alone when we're out and about. I warned her that it would bleed a little, but wouldn't hurt, it would just ...
