A quick note from Michelle: I have always appreciated the advice of the Sears family as they are wonderful advocates of attachment parenting. I don’t do a lot of reviews and freebies here at OI because I like to keep the information as “pure” as possible, however because I like the Sears family so much [...]

I recently read the book by the Duggar family and inside they share several tips, including how they make their own baby wipes. I really liked their idea and will probably use it at some point, however, I have been making my own baby wipes for quite sometime – and like mine because they are [...]

I recently got an excellent deal on a brand new HE (high efficiency), front-loader washing machine. It’s awesome. It spins the clothes so well, that they hardly take any time to dry. It’s an energy and water-efficient machine and it makes my still old dryer that much more efficient (especially when I can’t hang laundry). [...]

It’s nice to see that our Presidential family has a frugal side…
The New York Times has reported that Sam Kass, an assistant White House chef who prepared meals for the Obamas in Chicago and is an advocate of local food, will oversee the First Family’s new kitchen garden. Here is a picture of the layout [...]

My father always used to tell me that “work was work, if it was fun, they’d call it fun, but it’s not – it’s work. It’s not supposed to be fun.”
I used to argue with him. I would rant and tell him that you could most certainly do something with your life that you loved [...]

A long time ago, when I lived in a small apartment with two small children, I found a book at a used bookstore called, “The Apartment Farmer.” Within days of reading this book, I turned my small suburban apartment into a small suburban farm. For the cost of the seeds and some containers I found [...]
