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 [...]

I learned so much at the Paso Robles Wine Country Grand Tasting Tour. The a majority of exhibitors were wineries, however, a table off to the side caught my eye. I’ve been thinking about buying green water glasses. With my plain white dishes, white linens and colorful flower arrangements I thought green water [...]

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 [...]

I was thrilled to see these, because we have a bathroom that guests use where I like to have disposable towels or napkins. We seem to have a ridiculous stream of people rotating in and out of our house at all times so it’s not super practical to keep a hand towel in there. Plus [...]

I liked [...]

Car Wash Options: Things To Think About

by La Jolla Mom on December 7, 2009

I don’t see many people outside washing their cars anymore.  This might be due to the mandatory water restrictions we now have in San Diego, but I certainly don’t miss the gushing gutter water flowing down our street.  In San Diego, you can still wash your car at home before 10am and after 4pm with a [...]

Back when I was more athletic, I ate my fair share of Clif Bars and LUNA Bars. The makers of these nutritous foods (Clif Bar & Company) are also behind the Clif Family Winery & Farm. I decided to write an entire post about the winery in general, because I know that quite a few La [...]

Last Christmas, I meant to use all LED lights but found our local stores to be sold out or low on inventory.  I didn’t have time to pursue it any further as it was quite possibly the busiest Christmas season our family will ever have. I did find LED C7 outdoor lights, but they were cool [...]
