Abe's Market is fabulous. Naturally.

This Works. Says them. And us.
Each morning, it takes a vat of coffee to get me going and ready to face another day in charge of three young lives. So yes, I was eager to trying out a shower gel with the word "energy" in it.

Sugar mama
Summer's here, and I'm getting ready to bare some skin. Along with sit ups, a quickie pedicure and hedge clippers (you know what I mean), I've added The Spoiled Mama Sugar Scrub to my bag of tricks.

Bug-free, DEET-free, worry-free
Generally I have an entertaining personal discussion with myself every summer. On the one hand, I don't feel good about putting DEET on my kids. On the other hand, most DEET-free insect repellents don't seem to work all that well, and I'd rather my kids not get West Nile.
