Odds N Ends
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tom’s of Maine. All opinions are 100% mine. As a family of seven, we can produce a lot of trash, and I have to admit that I feel a little guilty every time we wheel our trash can down to the curb.

My Word for 2017
Happy New Year!! As usual, I can't believe I'm already saying that, but here we are in 2017. Wow! I remember when the year 2000 sounded far away, and now almost 20 years have passed. Suddenly, I'm feel very old. I know New Year's resolutions aren't for everyone, but I'm the kind of person who is energized by a clean slate. I love setting goals and envisioning my future, but I'm usually a bit too optimistic about what I can achieve. I tend to set more goals than I can realistically handle, ...Continue Reading
