Playing WFMW with Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer. Got kids who get carsick?  Try Red Earth Motion-Stop , an herbal concoction with ginger, mint, cloves and other good things.   A few drops under the tongue ward off nausea like you wouldn’t believe.   My kids hardly ever throw up in the car anymore, thanks to this...

No shopping today.  Instead, between school and meals, I dug out my messy laundry room counter.  I still have some to do tomorrow, but it is tons better.  Am working on paring down and organizing my home better.  I already have 4 Hefty bags full just from my closet and the linen closet.  I’m trying...

In memory of September 11th, people around blogland are sharing their memories. *** My most indelible memory of September 11th is of little boys playing Legos.  But let me back up a little. We move slowly in the mornings at our house.  That morning we were just getting breakfast started.  Our two three year olds...
