"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 to our young children, helping us thrive in our strengths and overcome our weaknesses. We aim for professionalism in every other area of our lives; why should our children get [...]
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 reminded of God's eternal truths and brought back to what is most important... living a life that honors and glorifies Him! When Emily of Hope Ink Art asked if I [...]
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 them in, what blog posts I want to write, and what I'm going to wear each day (okay, so that last one isn't true, but the other ones all are).

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 suggested that maybe I should just buy a good one, since I use it so often. Seriously? I was stoked! I knew exactly what I wanted. And I knew exactly [...]
"How on earth does a non-plastic ice cube tray work?" was one of my first thoughts when Carolyn of The Tickle Trunk asked me to review her latest stainless steel product. I was about to find out! This incredibly nifty looking contraption soon arrived at my doorstep, and I couldn't wait to give it a whirl! Here it is, full of ice, straight out of the freezer. In the process of being cracked (by my 4 year old, who can almost do [...]
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 see their gorgeous selves all dolled up! So... you can imagine that when Jennifer from Born 2 Impress asked if I would consider doing a review, I was ecstatic and [...]
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 in the house and replace it with anything I could find that seemed to be safe. Problem was, figuring out what was out there, how to choose between the different [...]
