Maybe because it is my birthday (October 22) or maybe because the change of seasons made my happy, but I’ve always enjoyed “the fall” – autumn, especially as it played out in my imagination – a New England crisp, colorful, crinkly season. Usually, September was still pretty hot, October was iffy and suddenly it was […]
We’ve been samping ClimbOn Skin Care products for over a year – since we received our first sample. ClimbOn is a regular fixture at the I Made It Market! events – their products are touted as chemical-free and all natural.

I am so simply exhausted right now that I’m sure this post will be much more flippant than I intend. I’ve been on the phone ALL DAY dealing with media calls and trying to help people get services.

We had to strategically balance the senior cats need to access food on demand with the dreaded removal of dry food. So we determined that […]
Now, I’m sure some folks might be tempted to snark on the association of vinegar with moi. And while “ha ha ha” is my first response, I do admit the shoe might fit. But recently I’ve grown interested in the use of vinegar as a healthier alternative for everyday home and personal needs. I met […]
Tuesday, January 29, 2013 What reoccurring thought uses up a lot of your mental energy? This theme ties very nicely into an ongoing discussion I’ve been having on Facebook about being gay bashed. THAT is a thought which consumes a lot of my mental energy. Not in an obsessive think about it with anxiety every […]
Wednesday, January 23, 2013 What is the most creative way you conserve energy in your home? The uncreative parts of conservation involve changing our habits and following “best practices: Set the thermostat and do not “adjust” except in cases of true sickness. Because I work from home, we have two settings: 68 during the day/evening […]
