It's Been A While, But I'm Back With More To Share Than Ever

It's crazy to think it's been 13 years since I have posted to this blog! It took some time for me to figure out how to get back into my old email account, but I am just bursting with information about healthy, non-toxic living that I am dying to share. My husband often jokes with me that I should be in this field and counsel people because I could literally talk about organic foods, removing toxins, supplements, doulas and labor, etc for hours on end.

I plan to revive this blog and use it as my outlet to share info that I learned through the years while cleaning up my own lifestyle and also becoming a Mom of 3 kiddos and the things I do to keep my family healthy. We have dealt with everything from eczema to picky toddler diets and supplements to organic cotton baby products. I can't wait to share all my favorites with you!

As we speak, I am on a crazy diet because I am breastfeeding my youngest who is allergic to wheat, milk, egg and peanut so I am gluten and dairy free and avoiding egg and peanut which is super hard. I have so much info to share about this and about recipes I found and snacks. I am in a few Facebook groups and I see so many moms in my same situation struggling, many of which have never been exposed to any other way of eating besides our standard American diet which we all know is not very healthy!

I'm excited for what's to come and all of the information that I have to share. I hope some of my struggles can help someone out there. I know how exhausting it can be to research online for hours on end for solutions or cures for your kiddos. Been there, done that! I also know how standard western medicine can leave you hanging without solutions or with a "band-aid" fix to your issues. I want to help people so I hope I can accomplish this.

Thanks for reading this and catching up! Stay tuned and I can't wait to share more soon!

Homemade Lemon & Sugar Hand Scrub

I actually saw this on the Dr. Oz show from "Beauty Secrets from around the World". I guess women in Italy use this to keep their hands soft and looking young. I know exfoliating your skin is important, but how often do we really exfoliate our hands? I've tried the Mary Kay Satin Hands and it does feel good and makes your hands soft to exfoliate them. I decided to give this Dr. Oz recipe a try. Lemon & Sugar Hand Scrub. I didn't have any all-natural lemon juice or lemons, so I just used the lemon juice I had in the house. I just added regular sugar to a small bowl and added a little lemon juice to make a paste. You just take a little bit of the mixture and scrub into your hands and in between your fingers. You can even use this on your elbows and heels or any dry areas that need to be exfoliated. When you have scrubbed enough and feel exfoliated, you just rinse your hands well in warm water! My hands felt so soft I couldn't believe it! Then just apply som

Almond Milk: Healthy, Vegan, AND Tasty?

I've been wanting to try almond milk for a while because I've heard it was good and super healthy. I finally found a good coupon in the paper and decided to buy some to try. I've had soy milk before and that was pretty good, but sort of gritty as you drink it. I bought the original and dark chocolate flavors of almond milk. My Silk Pure Almond Milk! Original and Dark Chocolate Flavors. When I took the first sip of the original almond milk, I couldn't believe how good it was! It's very smooth and tastes exactly like drinking liquid almonds! If you don't like almonds, the flavor is definitely overwhelming and you probably would not like almond milk. The dark chocolate flavor was my favorite and I could definitely see replacing regular dairy chocolate milk in my diet with the dark chocolate almond milk. Close-up of the almond milk cartons. I began researching into the health benefits of almond milk and found some interesting and promising information.
