It’s the world’s first reusable bag organizer!  One thing we did religiously when living in Hong Kong, was bring our own reusable shopping bags everywhere we went.  I kept them in the stroller basket since we didn’t have a car there. You can see the environmental effects of pollution and [...]

Living in London was my first experience with not having a garbage disposal. We lived in a very nice flat in an old building and it didn’t have a garbage disposal.  I’d have to scoop the gunk up out of the drain catcher – gross.  A few years later, we lived in the Four Seasons Hotel Apartments in Hong Kong and I couldn’t believe we didn’t have a garbage disposal there either. So, I was [...]

La Jolla Girl has a playroom and spends more and more time in it drawing. I’ve been hesitant to buy her 6 chairs to go around her art table because nice looking kid sized chairs are a little expensive and I worry about them tipping over.

I am totally guilty of not cleaning my brushes as much as I should.  I noticed the other day that one of my brushes was, well,  just plain gross.   Here’s the deal, if there is bacteria on your brush and if you use the brush on your face, then you’re putting the bacteria right back on your face.  It defeats the point of even washing your face to begin with.  Brushes get bacteria quicker than [...]
