Marlow and the Monster Review & Giveaway (11/11)

With Halloween just a few days away, "monsters" are everywhere right now, which can be frightening for young kids.

If we end up going to any Halloween themed parties I tend to come up with a costume last minute. A few Read more [...]

For example, if we use our regular tap water to run our dishwasher, the dishes come out cloudy and spotted even if we use the most expensive brands of dishwasher detergent. Ryan & I have very dark hair, but blond headed people in our area will have their hair get discolored if they use their houses water to shower in.
