It’s a new season, so it’s time to take a closer look at your family dinner routine for the Spring months ahead. (If you said, “What routine?” this article is for you!)
Disorganization, conflicting schedules and last-minute work obligations can make sitting down together virtually impossible. But [...]

You all have heard my grumblings about the mold in my front loading LG washer. The people at Fresh Wave heard too. They sent me a bottle of Odor Neutralizing Fresh Wave Multi Purpose Additive to see if it might help. I know that others are having similar problems based on the response that post [...]

We bought out house in 2004 and I put in top of the line LG washer and dryer. I think on sale at Fry’s, they were about $1200 each. I was deciding between Bosch and LG because I wanted “quiet” as they are quite close to my kitchen where everyone dwells. I regret not choosing the Bosch, [...]

I‘ve had trouble finding a good all around eco-friendly dishwasher detergent. Some that I’ve tried tend to leave spots on my wine glasses, which are almost always in each load, or food residue on plates. To be honest, I was nervous to try Ecostore USA Auto Dishwash Powder and Rinse Aid because I’m a pretty loyal patron of their products. I [...]

La Jolla Girl has a playroom and spends more and more time in it drawing. I’ve been hesitant to buy her 6 chairs to go around her art table because nice looking kid sized chairs are a little expensive and I worry about them tipping over.
When she has friends over, I take the paper [...]

I give full credit to Good Housekeeping magazine for this information. I get GH only because I got an email from Amazon.com (did you know that you can order magazines from them?) offering a subscription for a ridiculously cheap price. I’m glad I subscribe because I actually read it every month.
La Jolla Dad decided to make [...]

We had an unfortunate incident in my house last summer where a friend of mine launched a full glass of red wine all over my custom made beige sofa and fairly new custom made Tibetan rug. I add in the custom made part just to emphasize what ridiculous purchases these 2 items were and, therefore, [...]

Ok, I might as well keep with the cleaning theme today. Also see my post today regarding the Crayola Stain Guide.
I’ve had this bizarre problem lately now that the sun is out. I’ve never actually seen it occur, but there were weird, greasy streaks on our doors and wood cabinetry at exactly La Jolla Girl’s height. [...]
