I called the radon SOS hotline. I was a recording with the option of speaking with a live person. If you leave you mailing address they will send you some more information on radon and coupons for radon testing. Easy. I still have not purchased a carbon monoxide monitor. I been to two big box stores [...]

In researching more on the topic of indoor air pollution and carbon monoxide Radon kept coming up. Radon, radon, radon. I had no idea what it was – dust was so much more approachable, understandable and those dust mite pictures – well, they spoke for themselves and Carbon Monoxide has gotten a lot more press. Radon [...]

I love hearty, dense foods. Whole grains – yum. Not much processed food in my house and I’m always looking for recipes – especially for baked goods that use whole wheat flour instead of over processed, nutritionally depleted All Purpose flour. Using the whole wheat makes me feel less guilty about the fat content although sometimes [...]

So very many things. Lately, I’ve taken to writing them down lest I forget and I really do want to remember all those “little things”. Happy Places that Sofia has created for herself. Last week it was the inside of a suitcase in our bedroom filled with quilts, books, stuffed animals, a hanger. This week it’s another [...]

There’s many reasons why I am married. I’m not cut out to be a single parent so I’m working damn hard on this marriage of mine and while it got a little rocky with the culture shock of a new babe 2.5 years ago we’re making a strong comeback. I have the luxury(?) of testing [...]

I’m a list person. Preferably hand written and I’m not satisfied with placing a neat little check mark after a task is complete. I need the full on scribble-through to signify that the task is done. I recently found this indoor air pollution site. It’s a list and a good one – short, direct, powerful. I’ll share [...]

My current favorite site. I’m pulling from it for my Wednesday post too but this is such a no-brainer I wanted to share it with thos who own one: 10% of Americans have never changed the filter on their heating and air conditioning unit. Go. Now. Hurry.

After completely jinxing myself last week with mentioning the sunny warm weather because the rest of the week has been rotten, dark and dismal. BUT there are some great things I’ve been enjoying: Jon getting more used to his cpap mask – sleeping 5-6 hours straight. The first night that happened he woke up before [...]
A few precious moments…

Before Sofia wakes up and we start another busy weekend full of weddings, family and friends. Today will be spent making our annual trip to the Puyallup Fair. It’s massive, the fair I grew up with and am so exicted to share with Sofia. Oh, it will be a long day fullof new sites [...]

Wow, last week I decided to tackle Sofia’s bedroom, alotting about 30 minutes. That was a major underestimation. The the ease with which a 2.5 year old can become distracted is amazing – and frustrating.
