One of the things that I miss when fall comes and winter is on the horizon, the fresh veggies from the [...]

Bathing my children, it’s a nightly routine. It’s calming for the children and for me, I like to have the children smelling clean. Sorry, I just do. I always took a bath nightly and so do my children. They bath together and we don’t use very much water, so were conserving. Using a non-toxic, [...]

The BPA and plastic issue…it’s too much. The information is right in front of our faces and we still have a ruling from the FDA backing it, despite the flawed reports. The Smart Mama just wrote a post all about the FDA and whether science and the facts [...]

Babies love to put things in their mouths; it’s one of the ways that babies learn about their surroundings. These activities teach them about taste, texture, sound, and shape among many others. Exploring in this way is important for their development, so it is no wonder that the toy industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise!  [...]

Your eyes, your shoes, the new roof on your house, it’s a very versatile color because of the variety of shades. Thirty-three to be exact. I’m a huge fan of the color myself. I’m also a fan of Sloan Barnett. April 2007 Sloan and her husband, Roger Barnett were on the Oprah show. I’ve told [...]

How green is a hybrid? Is it the greenest choice or the most economical choice?  I know someone who is probably the least environmentally friendly person there is and they have a hybrid. It was to save money not help the environment. Here are a few of my hybrid concerns and reasons for not choosing [...]

My daughter was hospitalized this last week, again for her asthma. It was horrible and again, I had to watch her be strapped down and poked. I watched her cry herself to sleep all the while saying, “Mama”.  I was helpless and so was she. At the mercy of the medical professionals to help her [...]
