Trader Joe's Carrots vs Pathmark Carrots

So my camera is acting up. These pics are ones I got from the internet. I recently purchased carrots only a day apart and I am so annoyed.
1 bag of carrots is professed to be fresh. I got it from Pathmark.
The 2nd bag I got from Trader Joe's, only a day afterward.

I recently made carrot cake using the Pathmark carrot before I got the baby carrots. So I had to wash and scrape them. Even scraped, the organic carrots are more vibrant.
I ask myself why truly good food is expensive and hard to get to unless you live within walking distance or have a car.

IPod Lullaby

My kids get restless sometimes and can't fall asleep. I'm currently enrolled in an online school, and I work fulltime. So when they go to bed, that's my time to really get it in.

So I find a soothing song, and place the volume on a low setting, lock the screen and place it under their pillow.

What happens if you have multiple kids? Buy a pair of $7-$10 computer speakers. They will work with the IPod and IPhone.

Nifty Tub Cleaning Tip

Once I was so so pressed for time, I really was in no mood for bowing and bending over a tub.
then it just hit me..."Use the mop." The tub and walls couldn't have been cleaner. My hands didn't even get wet, which is a big deal for me, because I have eczema and I am constantly moisturizing.

You can also use a dedicated bottle brush cleaner to clean the sink/face basin.
