The Green Wife

Cheap, green ways to deskunk your life….

(those of you joining us from DoodleBunz, “HELLO!”) And by deskunk, I literally mean how to get the skunk smell out if one of your pets (or god forbid, YOU) have tangoed with one of these smelly critters….its actually pretty simple, you just need 4 ingredients. White vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and water. If your [...]

Mossy Missy

I got these ‘Mossy’ Babylegs with Alex in mind, thinking he could wear them for these odd fall days when sleeves are just way too hot by recess and PE time.  However, Elliott staked claim to them and, I must say, looks rather stylin’ in them. I may be a bit partial because of my obsession [...]

Buffalo Chicken Strips

Hair Clip Tutorial

Today I sat down and photographed, step-by-step, the process of making a hair clip. While I am not really a fan of these huge, crazy, fluffy bows you see out there, I do like a little touch of color in Elliott’s hair from time to time. These little clips are just the right [...]

Chicken Roll-ups

You know those days when you keep staring into the pantry…and then the cabinets…then maybe the fridge for awhile…………then back to the pantry and cabinets? You just keep hoping that some sudden, wonderful dinner inspiration will jump out at you and you’ll soon be serving up a Martha Stewart-style creation. Well, it was one of [...]
