If you’ve been cultivating the idea of starting your own vegetable garden, your day has come. Amazon has marked down a veritable produce section’s worth of vegetable seeds to between $5 and $13, including a quite a few pepper and tomato varieties. The number of seeds per order varies by vegetable, but ranges from 15…

Today is a big day for Brexit negotiations. Members of Parliament are debating the “No Deal” exit, a plan that would have the UK leave the EU on March 29th with no formal organization or coordination whatsoever between the two entities. Should this happen, it would almost certainly cause economic chaos in not only the…

On the One Bad Mother podcast, hosts Biz Ellis and Theresa Thorn end each episode by telling each other, “You’re doing a really good job.” It has always struck me as such a sweet way to encourage each other when you’re in the thick of parenting, everything seems like a struggle and you feel like no one around you sees…

Extend the life of the unused portion of your fruits and veggies in these $7 silicone Food Huggers, and then rinse and repeat, reusing them over and over again.
