My Favorite Winter Hand Lotions
My Favorite Winter Hand Lotions During the winter, my hands get very dry. It's caused by a combination of a few things, beyond my control, so finding lotions to use to prevent cracking, etc. has been my mission this year. Pictured above, are the four that I've narrowed down as My Favorite Winter Hand Lotions, on my couch. Why four? Each of them works well, in their own ways, on different issues I'm having. I've tried a multitude of lotions from the drugstore, some which work well during other times of the year. The guys are having their OWN skin…

How to Organize Important Paperwork
How to Organize Important Paperwork I've always had a goal of really getting my important paperwork organized, and over the past year, I've really gotten serious about it. I'm sad to say I'm still not done, but I do make progress each day! When my kids were much younger, I knew that I needed to KEEP the important papers, but they all ended up in a few big moving boxes when we made our cross-country move. I've made it a priority to spend 15-30 minutes each day going through all incoming paperwork to make sure it's properly handled, then grabbing…
DIY Homemade Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey Soap
DIY Homemade Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey Soap The New England winters are harsh on my skin. I recently went to a local craft fair and purchased some handmade soaps from one of the vendors, and we spent some time talking about my skin needs, etc. After trying some of her soaps (they were fabulous!), I did see improvement. The only problem was that she only creates her soaps in the summer, and then sells them in the fall and winter, so she was out of stock. I considered buying some online from Etsy vendors, but she kept encouraging me to…

Shows to Netflix Binge
Shows to Netflix Binge One of the most common questions I see from friends and family on Facebook is, "What show should I watch on Netflix next?" There are SO MANY good choices, my wish list is always bursting. Of course, the choice you make will depend on what genre shows you enjoy watching, but the list I usually share is long, and sometimes I forget a few when I'm offering a suggestion.

Best Books 0f 2016
Best Books of 2016 I love to read and make time to read every day. I almost always have my Kindle with me when I'm out and about, so if I have some free time while waiting in the carpool line or in a waiting room, I can spend it reading. When I'm at home, I read a few chapters a day in one of the hardback books I have in my TBR pile, and at bedtime, I like to use my Kindle. Why? It's backlit so I don't need a lamp on that I have to get up and…

My Favorite Vehicles at the 2017 New England Auto Show I am so thankful that I was asked to join She Buys Cars as an ambassador at the 2017 New England Auto Show. As someone who has had Car Buying Anxiety for many years, it wouldn't seem like this would be a good fit for me, but my car buying experiences here in New England with Grappone Automotive Group and their no-haggle pricing…
Valentine’s Gifts for Her
Valentine's Gifts for Her Shopping for women for Valentine's Day can be challenging. We all have things we love and really enjoy receiving, and it may be completely different from another woman. For example, I do not like to receive boxes of chocolate. Many women think it's the greatest gift ever. However, I don't like the chocolates in the boxes AND I'm allergic to many ingredients in them. The only candy I really like is a Kit Kat bar, so if I got one bar I'd appreciate that MILES beyond an expensive box of chocolates, because the person giving it…
Winter Pet Care
Winter Pet Care When the weather changes each season, it's important to make sure you make any adjustments in the care of your pet, just like we as humans adjust the type of clothing that we wear. Winter Pet Care, especially in areas where the temperatures plummet, is especially important. Joint Treatment: Cuddles, like me, has joint issues. The cold weather makes her stiff and can cause her pain in her joints. We give her hip & joint "treats" once per day to help alleviate her pain. If it gets too bad, we have a prescription medication from her vet that…
