The Stinky Shampoo

I’ve finally come to the realization that there is no limit to the ways in which a parent can mess up his or her child. You can anticipate things all you want, but at the end of the day, your prevention of one problem comes at the expense of allowing another one to pop up […]

Groceries Gone Wild

I can count the number of times we’ve left our house in the past month on one hand, and it’s starting to show. As you may recall from a previous post, we do all of our shopping for groceries online. And since my last post, it has become increasingly difficult to actually accomplish that goal.

Flood Fiasco

As you know, we’re currently in the middle of COVID-19. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re well-aware that we’ve all been given strict social distancing orders and aren’t supposed to leave our house. So naturally, if there’s ever going to be a flood fiasco in our apartment, it would absolutely happen now. Let

Egg-free Corn Muffins

Breakfasts were always a big deal to my husband. Personally, I’ve never been a fan, but he always had large morning meals as a child and it stayed with him into adulthood.

That’s especially true when it comes to desserts, though I’ll admit that my idea of an adequate quantity is drastically higher than what the USDA recommends. Either way, I had found this super-easy recipe for no-bake chocolate truffles a few

A Bicycle Built for Giants

Out of all the toys we’ve ever owned, none of them frustrates me more than our Little Tikes “Perfect Fit” (hahaha) 4-in-1 Trike. My daughter received this when she was nine months old because it would supposedly “grow” with her and become a standalone bike with training wheels. It wasn’t cheap, but it seemed like

Shortbread Squares

I’ve decided that one of the worst things about becoming a parent is that – just when you’ve finally gotten rid of all of the unnecessary people in your life – you now have to meet a whole NEW set of folks, most of which are totally weird and who you’d otherwise never want to
