My husband and I have wildly different reading personalities. I am a paper book-loving, post-it note-using, note-taking, stay up late until my eyes fall out of my sockets reader who loves everything from children's fiction to biographies to business books. He LISTENS to self-help and business books because reading actual books makes him fall asleep with the book plastered across his face. But he LISTENS to books. He doesn't hold them in his hands. And I'm coming to realize that while there are many like me who love the feel of an actual book in their hand, there are SO many of you who like to read on a device because of the convenience or listen to Keep Reading
How to Make Granite Cleaning Spray at Home
We have super dark granite and it shows absolutely everything. I typically just clean it with vinegar and water but when I want to get rid of the streaks, the only thing we've found that worked was Granite Gold. It's super expensive and never goes on sale so I was eager to try out a homemade version. For just pennies, I tried out the recipe below and it works great. I'm really impressed with how it leaves no streaks. I found the refillable spray bottles at Dollar Tree. They came in a bunch of different colors and so far they are spraying great! You can never beat $1 but if you don't have a Dollar Tree near you, Amazon has several different sizes and Keep Reading
Modest (and affordable) swimsuits for women
Modest Swimsuits for Women I follow a handful of fashion bloggers and every year I watch as they roll out their swimsuit suggestions for the upcoming summer season. And every year I am SHOCKED by what suits they are highlighting. It seems to me that they really haven't looked at an actual American woman's body OR they spend all their swim season at locations with fit and young women. Last year was the best -- The Year of the Cheeky Suit. You know what "cheeky" means, right? It means the lower half of your butt cheek hangs out of the suit. ON PURPOSE. First, no one wants to see that part of my body. Except my husband and he's not especially Keep Reading
11 Ways to Save Money on Produce
For the past few years, we have been following a diet heavy on whole foods, fruits and vegetables. While we love the way we are eating and how it makes us feel, it has been a bit of a shock to our grocery budget and we are slowly figuring out the best ways to save each week. I spoke recently at a local MOPS group and shared some of our favorite tips for saving money while eating as healthy as possible, and thought it would be useful to share the list with all of you.

Nordstrom: Rare sale on Clinique beauty products + triple rewards points + personal favorites
Several times throughout the year, Nordstrom will quietly price match sales from other large retailers and we are definitely the winners.
