Get Cooking with ‘Mom’s Cooking’

Mom’s Cooking is a brand new series from Lifetime that will take you inside mom’s kitchen. Remember all of those fabulous dishes your mother used to make? Whether it was for the holidays, a special dinner, or even while you were sick, there are always those signature dishes from your past that someone in your family made that made you light up and no matter how hard you’ve tried to find those same dishes elsewhere, they just never taste the same.

I remember my great-grandmother’s baked beans and my grandmother’s broccoli salad. Both dishes are amazingly unique and no matter who else has ever made those same dishes or the amount of times I’ve tried to make them myself, they never taste as good as when they made them.

Lifetime’s Mom’s Cooking will bring each participant inside their mother’s kitchen where they will surprise …

Book Review: Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

When I mentioned to a self-proclaimed bibliophile friend of mine that I was reading Audrey, Wait! she immediately told me what a fun book it was and how much she had enjoyed reading it. So far, any book this friend of mine has thought was good, I have been inclined to agree with her, so before I even began this book, I was excited about it and the excitement lasted me right through the entire book.

Audrey, Wait! is a fun, fast-paced book that surprised me again and again just because I was ecstatic that the author, Robin Benway, was obviously into the same music as I am. You see, when you see your favorite bands’ lyrics featured in a book and used as the names of the chapters, which I thought was very …

Ditch those Nasty Nappies

Did you know that babies go through about 6,700 diaper changes? Did you also know that for every 10,000 babies who use disposable diapers, we are filling up 113 dump trucks by the time those babies are potty trained? And all of those dump trucks have one destination–Landfills. Depositing 6,700 diapers per baby into landfills and letting Mother Earth become rich in waste and disease is horrible for the planet we all live in.

In 1998, the Environmental Protection Agency gathered information and statistics on disposable diapers and found that diapers alone made up 3.4 million tons of waste and makes up 2.1% of the United States’ garbage. That is a whole lot of dirty diapers! While those statistics were taken over 10 years ago, the recent baby boom we have experienced within the last three years will prove …

RIP Hugg

Announced earlier this month, TreeHugger’s social media platform for all things green, Hugg, has reached its final days.

As many people may know, website costs can be a little worrisome to your wallet even if you are just starting out, but once a website hits a certain stage and develops a substantial following, web and maintenance costs only skyrocket and sometimes, no matter how good your website ratings are or how many advertisements you put on a website, you come to a point where you must ask yourself if the money and the effort is worth the payoff received. This could very well be what happened with Hugg, as it has had a decent lifespan as far as social media platforms go, and has developed into the resource for green news.

As of November 17, Hugg no longer accepts …
