Things I love: my trashcan

My trash can. I heart it.

Simple Human makes amazing products for everyday life. I haven’t bought a box of trash bags in months. This little beauty is a wonder of design on so many levels.

throw away your brooms and mops, mamas!

Contrary to popular belief, the Roomba isn’t for cat torture. It’s actually a little floor sweeping (red) or floor mopping (white — Scooba) robot. Turn it on and it maps out your floor, the obstacles, and goes to town. As soon as I save enough money, I’m going to invest in one of these little […]

Food, it’s what’s for dinner.

I have cooked exactly one meal since we’ve been living la vida nomadic homeless loca. I hate cooking in Other People’s Kitchens. I just don’t know where everything is, and when I’m in the middle of the process, I don’t want to have to stop and wonder where the measuring spoons are.
