R.W. Knudsen is a juicy family and they’re giving a mom like me a sensible juice option for my children. An option that is USDA certified organic, with no added sugar (or anything else for that matter) and they are 50% juice and 50% water meaning less sugar and calories. Offered in child-friendly, unbreakable 4.23 [...]

One of the things that I miss when fall comes and winter is on the horizon, the fresh veggies from the local CSA and farmers market. Last year the local CSA provided a weekly newsletter with recipes and tips, it was so helpful. Through these newsletters I have learned:
Eggplant is a relative to potatoes, [...]

Is a Ford Flex the most eco-friendly car on the market? No. It isn’t a Hybrid but you might have read my thoughts on hybrids and wondering how green they really are. It does have the best gas mileage for a 7 passenger vehicle on the market right now, which is better then driving a [...]

I usually don’t but listening to nature and the natural environment around us, it should be the same as listening to people. Not just hearing but listening. If I don’t [...]

While I enjoy cooking, I must admit that I find it hard to come up with a healthy, locally grown, appetizing dinner every night.  The pressure!  And add to that three kids who have different tastes, a super healthy husband, and me working too…  So what is a girl to do??  I have some tried [...]

Blogher D.C. had ended. Dinner with Min Sook Lee was over. Tired, that explains how I was feeling. Except, I was only going to be able to talk with these women for a few short hours before I had to fly home to Michigan. I wanted to make the most of my time. Jennifer [...]
