Everytime I read it, I giggle just a little, "Thanks for using Eco Nuts- you'd be nuts to use anything else!" Truth be told, I'm nutty in so many other ways that perhaps the fact that I'm now using dried fruit shells (aka soap nuts) to clean my clothes shouldn't surprise me or anyone else! Why would you ...

"I am not a perfect mother. Often I struggle with impatience; sometimes I lack the enthusiasm I long for. I make many mistakes, just like my children. As they are maturing as children, I am maturing as a mother... We need to equip ourselves with practical tools that allow us to give our personal best ...

I loved the quote that my friend Sondra shared yesterday, "put something where you can see it so your eye will remind your heart". One of my next goals in decorating our home is to add more scripture. I want to have the Words of life all over our home, where we will constantly be ...

I've always been a list maker. I make lists of what needs to be done in the day, what food is in the fridge that needs to be used up, what meals I'm going to make, what to pack for a trip, what gifts to buy, what errands to run and what order to do ...

I've owned a cheaper dehydrator for years. It came from a thrift store and it did the job. It wasn't particularly fun or enjoyable to use, but it worked for me. This last year it started to show it's age with cracking trays and ripped mesh sheets. My husband and I discussed it and he ...

Sometimes I think that one of the funnest parts of being a blogger is doing reviews and giveaways! Now, girls hair clips may not have too much to do with natural living, homemaking or nutrition, but it does have something to do with our sweet little girls, and the fact that we just love to ...

We've all heard about BPA in everything. We now know that not only is it found in our Nalgene bottles, but also in our canned foods, and even in our sweet babies bottles and sippy cups. As a concerned mom, when I found out about this, I immediately wanted to throw out all the plastic ...

Another happy week of "shopping" through spud! (It barely feels like shopping when I get to do it from my computer and pick it up from my doorstep!) This week, I was so excited to try two more of their artisan breads (appropriately, I chose two from the Artisan Bakery in Vancouver), the Whole Spelt Bread ...

Oops. Guess I should pay better attention to my ordering deadlines if I intend to use a delivery service. :) I thought that I could order anything I wanted up until noon on Wednesday, but when I logged on at 11am, I was disappointed to realize that the cutoff was actually 9am that day, for time-sensitive ...
