I just got home from the grocery store and was so excited about a few of my finds that I just had to share with you. Yep, this is what I look like after a day filled with Mom duties. That’s really my laundry in the background and my bags of groceries that need to [...]

This morning I received a call from the school nurse. Always a scary thing! Whew, everyone was healthy. She was calling because I have on both of my daughter’s medical forms that they are to be given NO food without parent permission. It’s also listed that there are to be no artificial dyes or sweeteners [...]

Just got a phone call from the Mom down the street I love that families on the block have gotten to know us well enough that they ask permission before giving our kids “stuff”. Sure, maybe some of them think I’m overprotective, but if you’ve ever watched your child suffer from anything (an allergic reaction, [...]

We traveled this past week as a family, in a car, across the country. Believe it or not we still love each other, had NO fighting, minimal whining and lots of laughing. Even the dog came with us! I firmly believe that one of the reasons we all stayed so cheerful is that we didn’t [...]

There’s no way to know it all, especially when it comes to clean living. So whenever I run across easy (practical) tips for making our clean choices easy, I just have to share! Why these tips are important to us: We buy a lot of fruits and veggies. We hate chemicals/toxins. You do too, right? [...]

We just got home from the launch of the public library’s summer reading program. On the upside, both girls are signed up for the program and I even signed up for the adult program. FUN! On the downside, most of the prizes are food based and I’ll have to come up with something to substitute [...]

Our family is mostly “mainstream”. We watch tv, we vacation in Disney, we work hard, our children go to public school…but the one thing that is different is our choices for food, health and home care. We don’t go shopping in the mainstream aisles of the grocery store, we don’t give over the counter drugs, [...]

Finding a safe sunscreen is more than making sure you don’t get burned. Did you know that the EWG only endorses 39 sunscreens out of the 500 on the market and that using anything over a 50 spf is pointless? Our family is fair skinned. We’ve been to Disney, a cruise, in the neighbors pool [...]

The kids are home with me for the ENTIRE summer. We’ll be taking a few vacations, but these first 7 weeks it’s all about me and kids. I thought we could make it fun by focusing on a topic every week. Julianne picked our first week’s focus: The Ocean! No need to overplan (um, the [...]

Do you ever notice that by the end of a birthday party the kids are running around crazy and you’re are so glad they are going home! You know they are going to crash from the sugar in their system and you’re happy you won’t be around to see the melt downs. It’s just something [...]

Yesterday was National Donut Day! I didn’t even know about this celebration until we were home for the night, but we celebrated by chance when we had stopped by Starbucks earlier that day. Starbucks is changing a lot of their options in the bakery case. As they put it “they are using simpler recipes”. No [...]

There have been days that I’ve wondered if I’ve given my daughters enough for breakfast before I send them out in the world. In fact, I know they should probably have a bit more protein at this morning meal, but they at least always have a fresh fruit and cereal/granola bar. When volunteering in Julianne’s [...]
