The work from home life is less than glamorous at times. Like the time you didn’t get to shower until 3 (we won’t talk about how many days it had been)…or the time your laundry pile was taller than you…or the time you made a cheeseball for dinner. And that was all just last week! […]
7 Easy Gluten Free Breakfast Ideas
I’m not a morning person. I feel like you need to know that about me before I ever write another food-related post. If I’m going to make an elaborate omelette or coffee cake, it will probably be on a whim at around 12:45…in the morning. My energy starts to appear around 11 AM (on a […]
Gluten Free for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner – with Udi’s
We’ve been in the gluten-free world for awhile now, with our now-toddler. When she was tiny, we had horrible problems with her being congested and spitting up. But it wasn’t just normal spitup. This was massive amounts. Like, I didn’t know babies actually got that much milk, let alone stored it enough to yak it […]
UntrainedHousewife’s Cold & Flu Season Remedies
Spring may be here, but that doesn’t mean our sinuses and lungs are in the clear. The flu season has been known to peak into March at times, and even if you can bypass the germy crud, pollen is around the corner just waiting to stuff up your sinuses once more. Here is a roundup […]
DIY Hand Sanitizer for the Flu Season
Time to come out of the cleaning closet: I’m not a big hand sanitizer user. Wait, I can do better than that: I have never used hand sanitizer. It’s sticky, it reeks of alcohol, and most of the time I trust my immune system best when exposed to a mild amount of germs. Anything more than that […]
14 Days of Gifts for the Long-Distance Valentine
No one wants to be away from loved ones on any holiday, much less Valentine’s Day. This year, we have close family members deployed overseas. Being away during a special time is hard for everyone. To help ease the distance, mom and kiddo spent a few days at home making a care package filled with […]
DIY Felt Monsters – A Twist on Paper Dolls
Over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, my cousin was with us for all kinds of family and crafty goodness. This is the same cousin that has paired up with me for our upcyling venture, Twice as Fuzzy. So, basically, we make lots of messes together, and sometimes it turns into cute things as […]
Repurposing Old Calendars for Kitchen Decor
I’m kindof a bit of a procastinator, so my calendars don’t always get changed for the right month. Sometimes, they aren’t even put up in time to matter for the year. Woops. But my family has a tradition of giving calendars, and I hate that these calendars with such lovely pics get used up and […]
Unique Christmas Gifts – Review & Giveaway
I’ll be honest: compulsory gift giving is not my favorite thing. My absolute biggest pet peeve is being stuck at Christmas, obligated to give gifts to people who don’t need a thing and no time to spend racking my brain on something creative. Gross. Birthdays aren’t quite as bad, because it’s a day to celebrate […]
Buying a Pig? Taking the Self-Sufficient Plunge
Buying a pig and becoming self sufficient in providing meat for you and your family.
Look Again, It’s Gluten Free Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches!
There are some days when all I have time for is a peanut butter sandwich, but all I really want is some decadence. I’ve talked about it in the Gluten Free Community before, but I have to share this new twist on an old sandwich here. Chocolate and peanut butter top the charts of sweet […]
“I Couldn’t Do It Without Them” – Supporting Your Gluten Free Loved Ones
Thanks to UntrainedHousewife’s part in the Udi’s Gluten Free Community, I have been able to read and glean so much about Gluten Free Living that I would have otherwise missed. Even though I am not personally gluten free, my nursling daughter appears to react pretty strongly to wheat, so I am currently GF by default. […]
