Have you ever heard of freecycle? Freecycle groups are local and focus on reusing and giving to others as opposed to filling the landfills with our junk. Anyone who knows me would tell you that I am a huge proponent of yard sales, thrift stores, even items set out next to the road. To quote [...]

We just returned from a 10 day vacation in St. Petersburg, FL and a one day trip to Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Lyla had such a good time and we really enjoyed the time away. HOWEVER, it was a week of big changes for Miss Lyla. She decided to wean the day before we left. This [...]
