Summer Fun on a Budget

     Do you remember the Disney movie Up? The Fredricksen's save all their spare money in a glass jar for their dream trip, but life keeps bringing them obstacles, so they have to smash into their jar of savings time and again.      While most of us don't keep an actual glass jar of savings, metaphorically we know exactly how smashing that...

Your Baby's Back There!

Another Facebook Recipe: banana/apple oatmeal cookies

      I don't know about all of you, but I really like when people share recipes on Facebook. Some of these are so creative and so easy it's almost a terrible folly not to at least give it a whirl. The last recipe I shared with you all was for pancakes made with just bananas and eggs. I have to be honest by saying it wasn't a total success. I've also seen other people say the same thing I said - it was more like a banana omelet. You can find that post here.       This next recipe, however, was definitely a success...

While searching, I came across cloth pads. I remember...

Healthy Sunblock: Use less chemicals

     If we have so much knowledge about skin cancer and how to prevent it, then why are there higher rates of cancer now than there were before sunscreen was available? I don't have the answer, and frankly there could be many factors, but I do know one thing - commercial sunscreens have a lot of things in them I need a few minutes figuring out how to pronounce....
