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 [...]

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 [...]

by La Jolla Mom on December 28, 2009

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 [...]

What NOT to Put Down the Garbage Disposal

Post image for What NOT to Put Down the Garbage Disposal

by La Jolla Mom on October 19, 2009

Living in London was my first experience with not having a garbage disposal. We lived in a very nice flat in an old building and it didn’t have a garbage disposal.  I’d have to scoop the gunk up out of the drain catcher – gross.  A few years later, we lived in the Four Seasons [...]

My Container Store Playroom Find – Thought I’d Share

by La Jolla Mom on September 29, 2009

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 [...]

by La Jolla Mom on September 14, 2009

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 [...]

How Often Should You Clean Your Makeup Brushes?

Post image for How Often Should You Clean Your Makeup Brushes?

by La Jolla Mom on August 24, 2009

I am totally guilty of not cleaning my brushes as much as I should.  I noticed the other day that one of my brushes was, well,  just plain gross.  
Here’s the deal, if there is bacteria on your brush and if you use the brush on your face, then you’re putting the bacteria right back on [...]
