You may have noticed the new “My Blog is Carbon Neutral” button in the La Jolla Mom sidebar. This program was recently brought to my attention and I think it’s a brilliant idea. The “My Blog is Carbon Neutral” program was started by the Make it Green Programme in Germany. In the [...]

You all have heard my grumblings about the mold in my front loading LG washer. The people at Fresh Wave heard too.

It’s January, sunny and 75 degrees (jealous?) here in La Jolla. I’ve been thinking a lot about spring and all of the things I want to get accomplished in my yard. My yard looks it’s best in the spring. I’m trying to get it to look great year round, but am not quite there. I [...]

My last giant equisetum update was in July, a month after the nursery who recommended I plant giant horsetail in my yard, started using a poison called SedgeHammer to try to prevent it’s rapid spread and eventually kill it off. For those of you who don’t know, horsetail (equisetum) is an invasive weed that can be [...]
