sarahkskeeters Although I love my husband and we are close, I would not call him my best friend. There is a difference between friends and family in my mind. He is family. We share stuff, but not EVERYTHING. I actually keep more from my husband than I do from my friend....

sarahkskeeters Yes...I discovered Bare Minerals about 7 years ago when I was in highschool. A Bare Escentuals store opened up in the mall and I went there to buy all my makeup for prom. It was EXPENSIVE, but my mom bought it for me. At the time I didn't wear makeup regularly...

sarahkskeeters Oh wait, I forgot about the "junk room"!! It's a spare bedroom filled with piles and stacks of miscellaneous odds and ends. We just close the door and don't look in there. Anytime you have something and don't know where to put it, it ends up in the junk room,...

sarahkskeeters It would have to be either the master bedroom or the living room. I don't mind cleaning and do so often, but we have lots of clutter, and it's the clutter that makes the house seem messy. The master bedroom has clothes everywhere. Clean clothes in baskets that...

sarahkskeeters I'm looking into AIO's right now. For the past year I've used disposables but I absolutely despise them and am researching cloth. I did purchase a gDiaper starter kit and gave that a try for a week and loved it! I'd really rather prefer to do all cloth though,...

sarahkskeeters First of all, are you breastfeeding? Because if you are, that makes a big difference and you need to make sure you consume enough calories daily to support milk production and not overdo it on excercise. Breastfeeding alone will help you drop your post baby...

sarahkskeeters Oooooh, I'm glad to see this post. I've been doing laundry all morning and I have the same complaint! Unlike you, though, I did leave a load of towels in the washer too long, which was what started the problem, but I have rewashed them and cannot get the smell...

sarahkskeeters Oh, I forgot to mention, having someone fold the clothes neatly or hang them on hangers for me would make it well worth the price. I don't mind washing and drying the clothes, in fact I sort of enjoy it, but that's where it ends. I hate, with a passion,...
