I have to admit that I grew up in a rather proper home, with a proper mother who knew how to set the table just so, and how to use which spoon when and with what. However, as proper as my own mother was, my grandmother was even more so. My grand-mother, having been born…

I’ve had a bit of an obsession with soap lately… I think my 2 year old was a big influence on me on this subject. She loves soap and insists on holding a bar of soap for the duration of bathtime. Being the eco-conscious mom that I am, I didn’t want to just give her…

While browsing around on SmartBargains.com I discovered a brand called XCVI. My first impression was that XCVI was a laid-back brand offering relaxed and chic fashion made primarily from cotton. The brand falls in the mid price range for me; not cheap, but not expensive either. Most items cost under $100. I was super excited…
