My home is 26 years old and when we purchased it from my mother-in-law we did some remodeling to make it [...]

When I was invited by Lynn of Organic Mania to join the Green Mom’s Carnival I wasn’t sure what I was saying yes to, exactly. I knew I would be submitting posts on a particular topic monthly to one blogger who volunteers to “host” the carnival. Sounds funny if you aren’t a blogger and confusing, [...]

Honey bee, honey bee, where did you go? Personally, I don’t like bees but they’re important. I like honey though. My children actually love honey. Biscuits and honey, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, honey in our smoothies, honey in our tea, honey won’t you come home to me…I just had to write that! Unfortunately, we [...]

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 holidays are fast upon us and that means holiday cards. Lots and lots of cards begin to fill my mailbox October threw January. We get Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years cards.  Then there is a month before the valentine day cards fill our box! All of this adds to carbon emissions and environmental [...]

I wrote about my daughters asthma and our childcare situation and my returning to work and hiring some cleaning help. We’ve been blessed to have found the right people and everything is working out perfectly (so far). I’m getting so much done during the day and having time in the evening to be with my [...]
