I was at my hairdresser’s (She so freakin’ rules so I will give her a shout out – Rita at Salon 359 in Newport Beach!) today and I think I learned about 5 new things that I’ll end up blogging about but the one topic I’m choosing for today is the handbag designs of Laura [...]

In case you missed it, yesterday Obama signed into legislation the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. It was the first bill he signed since becoming President of the U. S. of A.
Lilly Ledbetter worked as a supervisor for Goodyear Tire in Alabama for 19 years and once she was about to retire, she found [...]
If you hang out in the mom blogosphere you hear a lot about Etsy. Etsy is a huge website that helps artisans sell their goods. Started 3 years ago by a then 25-yr-old dude who snuck into classes at MIT with a fake student id he handcrafted for himself, it’s grown to over 100,000 sellers [...]
If you open my “cleaning supplies” cabinet you’ll find all sorts of highly-convenient, pre-moistened furniture wipes, disinfecting wipes, Swiffer wet pads. Not only are these expensive, I know that they likely contain harmful chemicals and do not qualify as environmentally friendly nor as child-friendly. Yet, I keep wiping away – like an over-indulgent, environmentally ignorant [...]
Every time I come home and find yet ANOTHER YellowPages book on my front door step I want to scream. All it does is take up space and collect dust. And literally tons of them end up sitting in landfills. Seriously, when is the last time you used the Yellowpages? OK, Mom, I know it [...]
We’re all feelin’ Obama on this tremendous, historic day. I did more today than just feel it, I created an Obamicon of myself (above) to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime event. (I know, I should’ve planted a tree or something but this is the best I could come up with.) You can make an Obamicon of yourself by visiting [...]

I’ve posted about How Fast They Grow a couple of times before here at HMWW. Their digi-scrapbooking technology and adorable templates are amazing. And just before the holidays, they dropped their price per page! You can now buy a 12×12 sheet for $5.50. They also have gift certificates. What a great gift for any mom, [...]
I’m addicted to Ziploc bags. I use them all of the time. And, every morning my kids each get 3 Ziplocs (2 snack size, 1 sandwich size) packed into their respective lunch boxes. It takes petroleum to produce the baggies. They are not biodegrable, and when they do break down they leach [...]
It’s just easier to be organized when your organizational tools and aids are pretty. Whoever invented manila file folders did not get that. Functionally, the manila folder is genius. Aesthetically, a horror!!! So, ditch those boring manila files! Get rid of that grungy, body-dirt-caked mouse pad! Chuck that old pencil holder you got as an [...]
