Ever since I finished reading Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey last month, I've been dealing with my wavy hair differently. No more constant shampooing, no more wringing or brushing wet hair and no more wet cuts at the salon. While searching for an alternative to the hair detangler I'm constantly buying for my daughter and myself, I discovered a do-it-yourself recipe that works just fine. While detangling sprays and creams aren't expensive, the cost does add up at a couple of bucks a bottle. Continue Reading
Imagine Pocket Diapers
Imagine pocket diapers are sold at Nicki's Diapers and other select retailers. Each one-size diaper comes with an adjustable insert made of 4 layers of microfiber.

My friend and fellow BabyKicks Ambassador, Michelle Hill, shared with me her observations about how the sun works to kill bacteria: Ultraviolet radiation is a great disinfectant Continue Reading
Lick the Platter Pot Roast
There are some people who would trade their firstborn child, Rapunzel-style, just for the taste of mushrooms. I'm not one of those. So I never make a pot roast in the traditional "American" way which calls for cream of mushroom soup. I opt instead for this savory and delicious version shared by my mother. And it's just as easy! I serve this often for company and it's a guaranteed pleaser every time. LICK THE PLATTER POT ROAST 1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing mix 1 pkg. McCormick Continue Reading
