Builders, painters, home improvement gurus, you all know what trisodium phosphate (TSP) is, right? That degreasing, cleaner? Did you know, you and your kids might be eating it for breakfast?

Here's the video.

Some people say it's ok, other's don't. What say you?

My daughter sees several storefronts in our little town for rent and keeps asking us to rent one and open our own business. I briefly thought about it but I don't have that kind of start-up cash, have no idea what kind of business we would open, and if I'd want to tie myself to a family business around the clock.

Out of all the bad food choices we make, if we had to eliminate one choice that would make the most difference to our health, what would it be?

In two weeks, we start college visits for our oldest child. We have appointments for one college that is within driving distance (but way too expensive) and one she would have to live in the dorms in order to attend but it's much more affordable than the private, local college. Scary times, thinking about my daughter leaving home in what could be forever. In any event, things are going to change.

Gosh, I really can't believe my firstborn little girl is growing up.

This bug I've been dealing with for a week should be well and gone by the first college visit...just in time for me to get all teary and stuffy head weeping over the fact my kid is looking at colleges.

All winter long, I nursed kids and my husband while they went through the stomach virus and colds.  Each of them (five) all passed things back and forth and even though I was in the middle of it all, I got by without catching their bug.
