Labor Day falls on Monday, September 7 this year, which means the sales start showing up around Friday, August 28 and run hard through that following Tuesday. Ten days of “biggest sale of the season” emails, most of which are describing the same discount the same retailer ran in July. But a few categories hit…

Here is the short version: 18 states are running a back-to-school tax-free period this summer, most of them clustered between July 31 and August 16. Online orders count.

You know that sinking feeling when you find out your friend paid $14 for pretty much the exact same thing you paid $65 for — and hers works just as well? That’s what this post is about. I’ve spent way too many hours down the Amazon rabbit hole so you don’t have to. What I…
I’m a zone 7 gardener, which means I get the best of both worlds — a long growing season with just enough cold weather to keep things interesting. But honestly, most of what I reach for out in the yard works just as well whether you’re in zone 4 or zone 10. These are the…

I’ll be honest with you: I held out on Crocs for a long time. I’d see them on other people and think no thank you. Then someone whose opinion I respect showed up to a backyard cookout in a pair, looked completely unbothered, and told me her feet had never felt better. That was four…

Let me tell you about 3am. Our cat — who has approximately forty dollars worth of plush mice, crinkle balls, and feather wands scattered around this house — carries one toy and one toy only into our bedroom in the middle of the night. He drops it on the bed. He waits. If we don’t…

Let me tell you about the moment I became a Yeti person. I made coffee at 7am, got distracted by approximately forty-seven things, sat back down at my desk at 1:30pm, and took a sip — and it was still hot. Not lukewarm. Not “I guess I can live with this.” Actually hot. That was…
If you have a kid, you know the vitamin struggle. The chewables they suddenly decide taste “weird.” The gummies that end up stuck to the bottom of the vitamin bottle because nobody remembered to give them. The daily negotiation that somehow always ends with you losing. SmartyPants ended all of that in our house. The…
