Let's play a game -- WHAT'S THAT SMELL????????? It's not the dog, it's not coming from the bathroom, it's not something I have burned in the oven. It's coming from my kitchen cabinets! Yes - my new, beautiful kitchen.

I first noticed a weird smell in the tupperware cupboard. I searched and searched to see if one of the kids had put a dirty bowl in there or if by some weird chance (I have a 4yo, remember) someone put a damp rag in there. The smell is a musty one that I can't put my finger on. Now, the smell is under the sink too. The problem is that I can't really smell it there b/c Zicam has ruined my sense of smell. I can't smell much of anything so the fact that I'm detecting anything must mean it is really gross. So, I'm thinking it a water/drainage issue b/c the lines for the dishwasher run along the back of the tupperware cupboard. If not, is there some critter back in there dead between the outer wall and the cupboard? Is there a leak that I can't see (I hope not!)?

Who do I call? Do I shoot for a leak detection company? Do I call the handyman who installed the pipes & drain lines? Do I call a company that seeks out dead vermin? HELP!

Hi Joy!

I found your blog while searching for Southern California Moms, and I was hoping you might be interested in joining our public service campaign to raise awareness of Disaster Preparedness for Southern California families.

My name is Victoria, and I’m with Rocket XL, a marketing agency based in Los Angeles. The State of California has asked us to help them identify around 50 leading independent voices in the SoCal online community to become part of this emergency preparedness pilot program. We'd love for you to share your views and opinions about this program with your readers through your blog.

To learn more about this program, please visit this site: http://www.rocketxl.com/californiadisaster/

As a gesture of thanks for your involvement and to kick-start your own family preparedness plan, we'd like to send you a FREE survival kit (aka "Bug Out Bag"). Please let me know if you’re interested and would like to get involved. We would love to have your voice included and I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks and take care,
