Let's put mommy guilt in its place.
Before I had kids, I was a department store/pro salon junkie. All of my beauty products were brand name, expensive and procured at places that were literally miles from anyplace you could also buy milk or aspirin or cat food.

I’m all for the library, but not when it comes to baby books. After all, I know what my daughter does to her own books (chew, drool on, bend, etc.) Do I really want her doing that to books that have been chewed, drooled on, etc., by legions of kids before her? Gross. So I’m [...]
