Mango Granola Bars
My boys are snackers. I'm a snacker. We love snacks, but after a while the trusty healthy snacks (i.e. fruits and veggies) can get a little boring. Other times we need something in a hurry. I often find myself buying pre-made snack bars like Lara Bar or Pure Bar, but they can get pricey. Last … Continue reading Mango Granola Bars
Coconut Hemp Milk Chai
Here's a quickie for today. I seriously just saw the idea for Raw Hemp Chai this afternoon and decided to give it a try (with a few modifications of course!). The result is sinfully delicious and slightly reminiscent of holiday eggnog. (photo coming soon) 8oz Water (warm or cold, depending on what you're in the … Continue reading Coconut Hemp Milk Chai
Budget Friendly aka Homemade Laundry Detergent
If you Google it you can find a hundred different sites with recipes for homemade laundry detergent. Some are simple, some are complex, and most are variations of another. About 2 years ago, maybe even 2 1/2 years now, my friend decided to try making her own laundry soap. I was a little skeptical at … Continue reading Budget Friendly aka Homemade Laundry Detergent

I'm working mom … Continue reading Homemade Coconut Milk

A few months ago we decided that our youngest son would also … Continue reading *Blueberry Pecan Mini Muffins*

Research over the past 30 years or so has consistently shown that young children (until about age 8 or so) learn best through hands on play and experience. At times, it's frustrating when your toddler is into EVERYTHING or when babies … Continue reading *Learning Found in Every Adventure*
*Yoga & Brownie Love*
Ok, so yoga and brownies really don't have anything in common except that I love them both and they fit perfectly into my "healthiest way of being". You might be thinking "Brownies?! Did she say brownies?!" Yep! Since most standard desserts no longer fit into our way of eating I've done lots of searching for … Continue reading *Yoga & Brownie Love*
*Weekend of Cravings!*
Okay, so actually I've been wanting sweets all week. As much as I avoid standard desserts (ie. non-organic, sugar laden, etc) I gave into a cookie at our SuperBowl potluck on Friday. EW! YUK! What was I thinking?! I would never let my kids near those things so why would I even consider it?! One … Continue reading *Weekend of Cravings!*
