How to reduce plastic waste with your cleaning/body/haircare products
I'm sharing some of the ways I'm reducing waste (and cupboard space) with concentrated products that don't need single-use plastic containers. In this video I'm talking about: Sweet and Sassy Shampoo Bars Sweet and Sassy Conditioner Bars Eczema Honey Gentle Oatmeal and Lavender Soap Blueland Foaming Hand Soap Refills Good Green Cleaner Glass & Multi Surface Cleaner Starter Set Good Green Cleaner Kitchen Cleaner and Degreaser Starter Set No Tox Life Dish Washing Block Soap Grove . . .
Keeping It Real: Technology Edition | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010. Back by popular demand (and by popular demand, I mean two people asked about it). In case you forgot, the purpose of Keeping It Real is as follows: I am reminded often that blogging has become a medium for us to present our "best selves": from detailing homemade crafts to posting stunning photos of our kids, a blog can become a show-and-tell for moms that glosses over the hard parts with good lighting and soft filters. . . .
Helper | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010. Kembe takes his role as "helper" very seriously. Sometimes I have a hard time believing this kid is the same age as India, because he acts like such a little adult. One of his favorite pastimes is sweeping. I promise - he does this of his own will. And he is remarkably good at it. My other two kids like to pretend to sweep - they sort of push the broom around and then call it a day. Kembe is serious about it. He edges in from . . .
Wednesday’s Child, 13-year-old Levi
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .
Brought to you by the letters i,k,j,k | On Thursday’s I post from the vault. This post is from March 2010.
On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from March 2010. Just after Karis was born, my friend Heather sent me a little homemade gift for our family. I've never even met her in person, which made it all the more generous. Heather is one of my co-writers at Mama Manifesto, and has her own gorgeous and creative blog at Cookie Mondays, Ice Cream Sundays. She made an adorable set of letter shirts for my kids, and sent it to me over the summer. When I opened the shirts and saw the . . .
Quotable | On Thursday’s I Post from the Vault. This Post is from March 2010.
On Thursday's I Post from the Vault. This Post is from March 2010. I love this quote, and I think it's important for all parents, not just parents of children of color: We can choose to actively influence our children's attitudes. With our encouragement children will test and think through their beliefs about race, ethnicity, and religion. They are unlikely to ask the necessary hard questions without our help. It is up to us to take the initiative! Children care about justice, . . .
Life Lately
Found a box of dresses I wore in college and they fit India perfectly and are somehow back in style? Proof that my housedress obsession definitely predates COVID. I think my style inspiration for buying these was Jeanine Garafolo in Reality Bites.

Keeping it real (nobody puts baby in a corner) | On Thursday’s I post from the vault. This post is from February 2010.
On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from February 2010. I have a love/hate relationship with mom blogs. On many levels, I love it, because it allows me to feel connected to other moms during this season where I am rather isolated at home. I appreciate hearing that I'm not alone, and reading that others are having similar experiences. At the same time, I am also aware that blogging can become a medium for us to present our "best selves": from detailing homemade crafts to . . .
