I don’t know about you, but there is just something about gingerbread that says Christmas. Mother has a lovely thick and gooey gingerbread cake that she often makes and it disappears quickly. However, it’s the little gingerbread men that hold the greatest appeal to a child. A few months ago my son ended up with a nasty rash that only went away after removing gluten from his diet. Of course this made me sad as I thought of all the […]

“Toddler Essentials for On-The-Go was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” Are you on-the-go with a toddler? Even though I’m now a stay at home mom, it still seems like we are always going somewhere.

Long time readers will remember how my plans for a homebirth with my first child were interrupted by a necessary induction due to a diagnosis of Cholestasis (ICP).

(ICP has a 70% recurrence chance) We wanted more babies though and now, a year after my first […]

“I want to eat healthy, but I don’t have time to cook from scratch”. Do you find yourself saying that often? Do you look at the clock and realize once again the only thing you have time for is a freezer pizza or some other heat and serve food? I’ve definitely been there. I used to work until 5:30 – 6:00 4 nights a week and then had a 15 min drive home. Eating real, healthy foods cooked from scratch seemed important, […]

I’ve noticed that the fastest way to spend huge amounts of money on common household items is to run out. If we run out of something, I typically stop at the grocery on the way home and grab it. Two problems with this method: It’s hard to find an environmentally friendly product we like that is also chemical free. If I do find that product it is quite spendy. How We Save on Everyday Expenses: Our expense plan is […]

Is sickness ever a good thing? Is it possible to be thankful for something so unpleasant? John 9:2-3 His disciples asked him, saying Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. To start with, here’s the thing about being sick: Since we have mortal bodies that will eventually die, sickness is inevitable. […]

Do you buy your meat directly from farmers? Do you know what the benefits of buying meat from farmers are? Since I grew up on a farm, we had access to beef and chickens. In the wintertime we would get a hog from a farmer and butcher it ourselves. My parents no longer raise cattle, but they still have chickens and we (Jason and I) still get our chickens from them. However we were spoiled by getting meat straight from […]

I started back to work last week and in line with my goal to keep eating healthy all the time, I thought I would share my ideas for healthy lunches for work. Many times I can just grab leftovers and heat them up at work. Since I’m a nanny I often take advantage of the kitchen and use a skillet to heat my foods instead of the microwave. We don’t have a microwave at home and I don’t feel that […]
