WFMW:  Buy Bulk (Grass-fed) Beef

Beef!  It’s What’s For Dinner! Yesterday, I picked up ~80lbs of grass-fed beef from a local farm.    Grass-fed beef is considerably more expensive than your average grocery store beef, but it is so much better (for you and the cow).  If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend watching Food, Inc. to get a...

WFMW:  Dealing with Dry Chapped Hands

Well, with winter in full swing, my hands are cracked and miserable again.  I used to have a hand lotion I kept in the car I really liked, but it ran out, so I finally got out and bought some more and my hands are feeling better. Here are my tips for preventing/treating dry...

Fun and Meaningful Christmas Season Activities

A few years ago, I posted a list of advent ideas to provide inspiration for daily fun activities with the kids. I’m not organized enough this year to have something planned for every day, but I do hope to do many fun and meaningful activities with the kids.  Some things are just fun to...

Cookware Alternatives to Non-Stick

When we married in the late 90s, I requested and received a set of Circulon cookware.   Over the years, I have become disenchanted with non-stick cookware in general, and my Circulon in particular.  So, I’ve been slowly converting over to other styles. One of our first non-stick purchases was a pair of cast iron...

WFMW:  Hiking Mementos

A while back I shared that I wanted to do more hiking with the kids.  Well, we’ve only gone once since then, but I still have high hopes! In the meantime, I thought I’d share a really cool idea I picked up from my sister-in-law to memorialize the hikes. Every time you go hiking,...

Red Plate Special

Have you heard of the “You are Special” Red Plate?   I first learned about this concept from a mentor mom in my MOPS group several years ago and it has been a tradition in our home ever since. The basic idea is simple.   When setting the table for a meal, give one child the...

Do You Thread?

My personal grooming habits are most definitely low maintenance.    If it’s not cheap, quick and/or easy, I’m probably not doing it.   While I love mani/pedis, massages and all the rest of that salon service stuff, I rarely indulge as it’s just not valuable enough to me to take up room in a limited budget....

WFMW:  A Color Coded Weekly Schedule

Several years ago,  my oldest started kindergarten at one school, my middle child attended preschool at another, and my youngest was in a parent’s day out program at yet another school.   Keeping track of where everyone was supposed to be and when I had to pick them up was mind-boggling (for me, anyway —...

WFMW:  Freezer Box in the Fridge

I read this tip on someone else’s blog (maybe via WFMW?) and can’t remember where to give the credit.  If this was your idea first, I apologize and appreciate the idea! The problem:   Putting meat that needs defrosting on a plate in the fridge leads to drips, and is a poor  utilization of the...

WFMW:  iPad as Cleaning Tool

We recently purchased an iPad, in anticipation of our cross-country travels, and we have been having fun exploring different apps. After our return, the husband and I felt the house was a wreck and a deep clean was in order — one that required participation from ALL members of the family.  Often times, getting...
