Eco-Sunday: Be Green Tip of the Day: If You Don't Want to Wash Thanksgiving Dinner Dishes....

November 20, 2016 Loveley

Okay people, Thanksgiving is coming up fast! If you're hosting, you've probably already started planning. Now, we picture a Norman Rockwell type setting with everyone sitting around the dinner table with a table set with your fancy dishes saved for special occasions.  And then in a busted gut stupor, you hand wash all those dishes or stick them in the dishwasher.  So, that's great for smaller family gatherings, but if you are hosting a large group of people, OR, if you just hate washing dishes, this may not be what you're picturing.  If this is you, you may be already be planning on disposable dishes for the big day, so I've gathered some great eco-friendly (aka survival-of-our-planet-friendly) options!  And they're all reasonably priced.

Family Friday: Quick Parenting Idea: Before Bed, Tell Your Young Child This...

November 11, 2016 Loveley
Getting ready for bedtime! (this was years ago)

Getting ready for bedtime! (this was years ago)

For most parents (including me), their kids' bedtime is a glorious and magical time of day.  You have had a long day of being all about someone else (or a bunch of someone elses)....and the sun is setting...and it's about to be "you time".  So, in all the excitement for you to get a moment to yourself, you may want to rush through bedtime....no judgment, I TOTALLY get it and am guilty of this myself.  Well, I've found that even though this idea makes bedtime a little longer, it's totally worth the time investment.

Eco-Wednesday: Be Green Tip of the Day: Get Solar Panels on Your House STAT

November 9, 2016 Loveley

Today's tip and explanation is pretty short.  Get solar panels.  We use electricity, there's no real way around it.  Well, there is, but unless you want to go full-on-Amish, there isn't.  So, I say we go solar.  The coal industry is literally killing us. Just look at cancer rates around areas that burn coal, or where coal ash ends up.  We need to do more, and it is getting easier and easier.

Music Monday: Song Pick of the Day: Cranberries - Linger

November 7, 2016 Loveley

Oh yeah! More 90s throwbacks! I was just watching something on Netflix the other day, and this song started playing in the background, and it took me back BIG time to high school! My hubby was in the room, and he said it totally took him back to college.  It is totally stuck in my head now, so it is my absolute duty to get it stuck in yours.  Enjoy!

Here's a quick idea for you parents (or anyone around children) out there.  So, after a baby has moved on from the baby bottle, their parents usually transition them to a sippy cup.  But then, where do you go from the sippy cup?

A Workday Stroll in Downtown Detroit

October 22, 2016 Loveley

When I'm not refinishing/restoring/reselling vintage furniture or writing for Honeymoon Vintage or spending time with my kids, I'm working a corporate job.  If you work in an office, you know that sometimes you start to go a little crazy being inside and staring at your cubicle walls.  Or at least if you crave sunshine and freedom, you do.  So, when that happens, a little escape is wonderful!

I have a good friend who is pregnant right now (preggers, with child, has a bun in the oven, is in the family way, has a pea in the pod, etc.), so I've been thinking back to my baby days.  One thing I have been thinking about is what my best baby book recommendation is for a new mom, and I want to share that with you in case you are pregnant (preggers, with child, have a bun in the oven, are in the family way, have a pea in the pod, etc.) or you have a baby shower to attend and need a gift idea.
