The PETUNIA… the lovely, colorful trumpet-shaped Petunia has a rather interesting origin, being botanically related to the family Solanaceae of tobacco, tomato and potato fame. Solanaceae derives from the Latin solari, meaning to soothe, so it is not surprising that the most lovely symbol of the Petunia is its soothing-ness. (On the contrary side, the Petunia [...]

We’re in Washington D.C. this weekend and it’s HOT! Well, let’s put it this way… Rhode Island hasn’t felt these temps yet… at all. I packed appropriately for the weather and the vacation – shorts, tees, tanks and sandals. I didn’t pack anything dressy because I knew my days would be filled with walking the [...]

Beat summertime diaper rash-time with Puristics

The Rhododendron… with its profusion of large, glorious flowers, the Rhododendron has found its way into cultivated landscapes as bushes, thickets and trees, but it also grows in the wild. Rhododendron derives from the Greek rhodon and dendron, meaning rose tree. An obsolete form of the word Rhododendron is Rhododaphne… which certainly sounds lovely, too. [...]

What’s the phrase most often heard in our house? “Wash your hands!” I’m the mother of four boys and I have to constantly remind them (like pretty much every other second), whether they’re coming home from school, playing outside, getting ready to eat or finished in the bathroom. I have one son who is constantly [...]
