A couple weeks ago I blogged about a way we’re beating the mosquitoes this summer. This is another “secret weapon” in our quest to beat the bug bites — a pop-up screen house. This style of screen house needs no poles, stakes or ropes. It sets up in seconds, popping up with a quick twist and shake when it’s pulled out of its bag.
Does the Mosquito Patch actually work? We tried it.
A few weeks ago, I heard about the Mosquito Patch on the radio. A caller was passionate about it, saying the patch repels mosquitoes without synthetic chemicals. We put the patches to the test this week at scout day camp, and here’s what happened.
Summer camp through the lens of a thrift store camera
Watching my son leave for summer camp was bittersweet. I went to camp for the first time when I was his age, and I think camp is a great experience for kids. As he counted down the days until it was time to leave, we talked about what he might expect…
Go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
ZZ Top’s song “Cheap Sunglasses” came on the radio the other day when I was driving with my children. My daughter turned to me and said “This song is pretty much your whole theory on sunglasses, isn’t it, Mom?”
We couldn’t throw our old couch away
Something strange happened when we tried to get rid of our old couch. Our family room couch has seen better days. I bought this sectional when I was in college — one of my first “grown-up” purchases…

These jeans promised to make me feel one size smaller — but they’re not what I expected!
These jeans promised to make me feel one size smaller — but not in the way I expected. Not at all!
It felt strange to order soybean seeds on Amazon
Strangely, while Illinois is the top soybean-producing state in the nation (our state devotes 9.8 million acres to growing soybeans!) it’s remarkably difficult to find soybean seeds for the garden at our local stores.
I’m kind of in love with this wrap from JC Penney
Last week, I had a $10-off-$10 coupon to use at JC Penney, and as I wandered around the store looking for a deal, I spotted these Acrylic Ruana Wraps on sale for $28. I have a lot of scarves, but I didn’t have a wrap that would cover my arms completely.
