I like bags, sacks and what not for both my backpack, my purse, my van, you name it. I hate digging through a pack, which is just a dark pit, crammed full, to find a loose item. Having said that, until recent years, I used freezer bags [...]

The coatings on the fabrics degrade over time, from use, from our sweat/dirt/body oils and also from not washing our garments enough (or also simply washing too often with aggressive detergents). Kirk has a well-loved [...]

I like to have snacks for the boys in the van, we travel and hike and as well the oldest has school lunches. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to buy a box of treats [...]

The 3 year old has this thing for Sugar Bowl Bakery products. And who wouldn’t. Fat, sugar? Good taste? The local Safeway carries their line of goodies in the bakery department in large tubs, often for $5. How a toddler learned the joy of Madeline cookies I have no clue. Anyhow, imagine just [...]
