As a crafty, creative person I think it’s a little amusing that one of my most popular posts is how to clean stove burners using ammonia and ziploc bags. It’s also kind of funny that another non-creative, but crazy popular post is all about tips to store fresh fruits and veggies. (Especially amusing because I don’t like vegetables…) Anyhow, […]
How to add touch up paint to your earrings.
I love a simple hoop earring. In fact, I have 3 pairs that I have loved so much, it appears that I have rubbed the silvery paint right on off of them in a few places. Until I splurge and get myself a pair of real silver hoops, this is just going to keep happening. […]
Taking advantage of summer: How to “stock up” on fresh herbs.
I love fresh herbs. We use a lot of basil and a ton of cilantro, and there is just no substitute for the fresh stuff! Last week our grocery store had a deal on cilantro: 5 bunches for $1. Even though we can’t use all of that up right then and there, I bought it. Yes, yes, […]
Give your First Aid supplies an Annual Check-up.
Our annual camping trip is next week, and I am in the process of organizing and getting ready to go. I am usually pretty organized, so don’t let the picture fool you. It actually is controlled chaos. I know where everything is. Yes, I know it looks like a total disaster, but there is a […]
Summer’s here! How to choose a sunscreen.
Sunscreen. This isn’t anything new or earth-shattering… but I cannot, for the life of me, keep it straight.I figure that there might be other people like me, who for some reason can’t manage to retain this information. Every year, I ask myself these same questions: What does SPF stand for…? (And what do the different numbers […]

Today’s driving lesson: What to do at a 4-way stop.
After driving the morning carpool, I feel compelled to re-publish an open letter I wrote last school year. Why, why, why are people so confused by a 4 way stop sign…? Why? Dear Drivers at the 4-way stop on Montecito and Bostonian, I know 4-way stops can be confusing, what with drinking your coffee, […]
Clean your coffee maker using vinegar.
Clean your coffee maker using vinegar. Yesterday it dawned on me that I don’t clean my coffee maker as often as I should. Without a good cleaning every now and again, your coffee maker won’t operate efficiently and you just aren’t going to get the best cup of joe that you can. You don’t need […]
Waste not, want not: Making breadcrumbs.
Last week I lamented the horrible state of my house. In addition to having lost my Housekeeping Mojo, I hadn’t been to the store and we were low on all sorts of groceries, especially bread. What is it about the heels on a loaf of bread? (Or as they are sometimes referred to here: the […]

After being out of commission since Wednesday night, I finally am feeling like I’m on the mend. I haven’t gotten to any projects, but I did want to share a quick tip with you. Do you know what this is? It’s frozen cilantro. We use fresh herbs frequently, and I have a trick for keeping […]
