When we lived in Colorado we were very fortunate to have Vitamin Cottage, a grocery store that sells organic food at great prices (now called Natural Grocers).

Well, this morning we had a little accident where Ashley dropped the jar and her blueberry smoothie splashed everywhere. To prevent this from happening again I turned the…
Enjoy Life Cookie Review
Enjoy Life is so kind to send me samples of new products to try, which we happily do 🙂 We have been long-time fans of Enjoy Life. When we drove to Salt Lake City, we ate Enjoy Life trail mix. It was great—a road-trip must-have. This time they sent us three kinds of cookies. Just…
Cool Metric to English chart poster & tea towels
