Going green is so simple these days. Being green no longer means granola and tasteless food. Now there are amazing products on the market that can reduce your carbon footprint without sacrificing quality and there is no need to pay an arm and leg for them. Which is a good thing because I never dreamed that I would be doing as much laundry as I am doing right now as a mom trying to potty train her … [Read more...]
We are huge fans of Horizon Organic milk in our household. I refuse to buy anything but organic milk for TJ. After seeing how quickly regular milk spoils and hearing about all the chemicals they put into milk or feed the cows, I am not comfortable giving anything but organic milk to my family. While it might cost a little bit more than store brand milk, the benefits far outweigh the price … [Read more...]
In honor of Barbara's Bakery's 40th birthday, I am encouraging my readers to make a stand and say NO to bad snack foods and YES to natural foods. Around this time of year, a lot of people make New Year Resolutions to be healthier in the upcoming year. I admit that I try to eat better and exercise more, but I usually fail. One of the major reasons that I find it hard to keep up with a … [Read more...]

I craved milk when I was pregnant with BJ. I would drink about a gallon a week. I felt great, and I knew that I was getting all of the calcium that my body needed and my little guy needed. Before and after pregnancy it is a different story. I buy organic milk (the expiration date is a lot longer than regular milk) and I am lucky to finish it before it expires. I basically just use it on my … [Read more...]
I am not a big fan of wearing makeup (probably because I am not very good at applying it). I do like dressing up and getting made up for a special night out. I like getting made up for a special day or family night. However, when I have a weekend home with nothing to do, I love to sit back in my pajamas and play with my son with my hair in a ponytail and nothing on my face. In order to get … [Read more...]
Diaper rash. BJ and I cannot stand it when he has a diaper rash. It seems like poor little BJ has had more than his fair share of skin issues, one would think he would be spared from the diaper rash. To be completely honest, this is one skin condition that doesn't flare up all the time, but when it does I feel awful for my little guy. He has enough to deal with his eczema that I want the … [Read more...]
Teething is not a fun process to go through for any parent. We thought BJ was getting his first tooth at 3 1/2 months, but at 8 months (tomorrow) he still hasn't cut those first teeth. I have tried many different teething toys to help ease the pain of teething. While I was doing my research I came upon a little company called Belle's Biscuits. I wanted to try Belle's Biscuits because of … [Read more...]
Cold and flu season is tough on any parent. Nobody likes not being able to breathe, reaching for tissues, taking cold medicine, and feeling run down and rotten. What is worse is having to watch your children go through that. I recently posted about one product that helped get BJ through his first cold, and I am going to introduce you to the other product that help BJ sleep, Ah-Choo Chest Rub … [Read more...]
I have an obsession to confess. I am addicted to finding the best quality organic food for my son. I think this addiction started when I felt guilty about not making my own baby food for BJ. When I was pregnant I had dreams about going to the local farmers market every Saturday and finding the freshest produce from local farmers, then taking the produce home and cooking until the freezer was … [Read more...]
