Ok, you should know by now that I’m into the shock factor, and I’ve come to realize that’s ok. I don’t believe as a society we listen to the gentle whispers. We’re a society of Octomom, mermaid mockumentaries and Halliburton. Nobody is going to give a shit if I say, “Hey, here’s some everyday things…

Forget Cake, I Say Let them Eat BARF
Every once in a while I stumble across an idea that makes people look at me like I’ve completely lost my mind. Feeding my dogs a BARF diet was one of those moments. Now before you call Animal Control, BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. It’s basically feeding dogs a diet made from real,…
Babe…I’ve got food babe – Unsponsored Review
I’d like to dazzle you with a handful of quotes that I try to consider when it comes to food and what I feed my family. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well” – Virginia Woolf “Sex is good, but not as good as fresh sweet corn.” – Dr. Ruth Westheimer (who…
Surviving Val-Pocalypse 2015
As I’m sure you can tell by now, I love to have a good laugh. But I should preface that with the fact that the material needs to be funny. Back in my single days a guy gave me this card on Valentine’s Day. Now, granted I took some artistic liberties with the card itself…

When I began changing our personal care products so we bought only cruelty-free my hubby made three requests. I have to give the guy credit, to the average bear I’m getting into some pretty weird shit here. I would say that he rubbed his lamp and Ellen the green genie popped out to grant him…
Mr. Twitches
So my younger daughter Chloe is the Beanie Baby daughter. I would say she was the mayor of Beanie Town, but she would probably be more of a Toronto Rob Ford type of mayor, so I don’t think politics are in her future. From about age four until…well…now, she can always be found carrying around…
Smell Ya Later!
I love to cook and my friends all know it (clap your hands). By far, the most questions I get is about Mama Ellen’s recipe for homemade deodorant. It never fails…when I tell someone I make my own deodorant they wrinkle their face, say something like, “Ew gross” and by the end of our conversation…
It’s not my 1970s Wonder Woman lunchbox, but Planet Box for my kids makes me the hero – Unsponsored Review
I’m one of those moms that totally looks like she’s got her shit together. And for the most part, I think I do. But every morning I get up 1/2 hour early just to figure out what the hell I’m gonna give my kids for lunch. So I spent what felt like FOREVER to find…
