Clean up, clean up...everybody, everywhere...

Word on the street (aka my cousins Debra and Laura), Formula 409 Natural Stone Cleaner is the hottest new cleaning product. I have been using a very mild soap on mine and have not been so in love with the results. "They" say this stuff is awesome - cleans well with no streaks. Click here for a $1 coupon; however, you may need to buy it online. Apparently, it is very difficult to find in stores. It sounds like my cousins have been hoarding it!

Oh so mighty

I love Mighty Leaf tea. And, I'm not ashamed to admit that I initially fell in love with it because of the silk pouch. It just looks so luxurious. However, after trying several varieties, I know it is more than just appearance...this is great tea! My new favorite flavor is the Ginger Twist. I like it with a bit of honey, but my co-workers tell me it is good enough to drink without adding anything to it.

Hello everybodeeeeeeeee!

Subtle hint...

...or gentle reminder...

Shopping comes from the mother's side

My friends Gennye and Matthew have a new baby girl, Bess. While it doesn't sounds like Bess inherited her mother's ability to sleep through the night, it does sound like she learned to shop from her mother. Bess picked out really cute (and sturdy) furniture from Room & Board. It is quite practical too...she will still be using this dresser when her mother teaches her how to fall asleep while pointing a remote control at the tv.

So many colors!

I recently confessed to my sister that I color with my nephews crayons even when they are not visiting...I did not tell her that even though I have the box of 96 crayons and the box of 120 crayons, I secretly want the Crayola 150-Count Telescoping Crayon Tower. Not so secret anymore, I suppose...

Stock up on Mrs. Meyers Detergent

...especially the Baby Blossom fragrance...it is great!
