What a fun week it’s been! On Monday I had the pleasure of representing Hometalk on WGN’s “Your Money Matters” segment on WGN 9 News, sharing some money-saving DIY ideas for Earth Day. On Tuesday, the Hometalk Earth Day festivities continued as I traveled to Milwaukee, WI to share some “green” repurposing and upcyling ideas
A couple of years ago I confessed I’d been coveting glass jars. Since that time I’ve been slowly transitioning our household from plastic food storage to glass, in part by reusing glass food jars. If a grocery item I purchased came in glass, I’d wash it out and reuse it for future food storage. This has
My quest for finding new ways to repurpose old t-shirts and green my clean continues! This time I’ve set my sights on our floors.

Kate is the “Top Banana” at school this week – a little something that is A Very Big Deal in preschool land. We spent the better part of our Momday narrowing down photos of her and our family to be displayed proudly on the class bulletin board, and the rest of the day baking banana
If you had asked me 5 years ago where I thought I’d be today I probably would have said: Happily married to G. A mom. The COO of a nonprofit, saving the world one child at a time. Still searching for that perfect shade of lipstick. Four years ago I held Kate in my arms
Does your child love to eat their vegetables? Congratulations. You’ve hit the parent lottery. Feel free to brag on Facebook, buy brussels sprouts in bulk, and check out my next post – this one isn’t for you. For all those moms who are smothering broccoli in cheese sauce and sprinkles, grandparents who promise a bag
Making my own cleaning products is something that’s always been on my to-do list…right next to “meditate daily,” “learn Italian” and “not hang up on telemarketers.” In my vision of my most awesome self, these are the kinds of things I do. In my rush to ring in spring I was thinking maybe I could
