#QuarantineLife (Week 8) Plus, Celebrating 25 Years!

May 21, 2020 By Lauren

It's been 8 weeks since my family and I have been at home quarantined together. We've been hanging in there and finding ways to keep busy. My husband and daughters do homework and schoolwork from the kitchen table every day, and I work on my projects for the blog. We have been finding ways to have fun at home in quarantine when our work is done! My Latest Read Over the weekend I read the latest book by Amy Roloff, "A Little Me"Amy Roloff and her family are on the reality TV show, "Little People, Big World" on TLC.

#Stayhome Finds (Items to make social distancing easier)

April 22, 2020 By Lauren

Stayhome finds from Jane - cloth face masks, inspirational tees, dog PJS, comfy jumpsuits and games

This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. My family, like many in the U.S., have been spending more time at home these days. That means our wardrobe has changed - instead of our usual clothing, we've been wearing more yoga pants, sweat pants and PJS! In New Jersey, where we live, we need to wear a mask just to go shopping. We also have more time on our hands since there is no commuting to work and school. Life is different these days. I'd thought I'd share this list of items that I think might make staying at home more Continue reading...

A New Betta Fish

August 28, 2013 By Lauren

how to care for a betta fish

For the past two years, I’ve been unhappily cleaning the goldfish bowl for my daughters’ two goldfish, Rocky and Swimmy. I hate the job, but since the fish are the only pets my kids have (both my husband and I have allergies) I grudgingly do it. The other day, I upgraded the fishes’ bowl to a more sophisticated mini aquarium. The aquarium doesn’t have a filter (alas – I wish it did, to spare me some cleaning), but it is equipped with a light and a pump. Since the pump pushes extra air into the tank, I figured that we could squeeze one more pet fish into the tank, especially since my girls Continue reading...
