Spring and summer are my favorite times of year for cooking — or eating, at the very least! Colorful eggplant, juicy tomatoes, and bright berries from the garden are as delicious as they are nourishing. Everything tastes better fresh from the garden. And simple grilled or no-cook meals leave more time for sipping lemonade on the patio. One thing that I don’t enjoy during the summer (or anytime for that matter), is shopping for household essentials. Who wants to run […]

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.

A couple weeks ago I shared how we made cloth diapers. They were all ready for baby except they needed washed, along with the others that I had bought.

Apparently if you don’t wash and dry your cloth diapers correctly they will lose their absorbancy and won’t last as long. So you need certain soaps for diapers and you need to strip them on […]
