Review: Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker
I should have made more! After our trial run with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker by NUK, we love it! My kids devoured it, almost before I grabbed a picture! I tried to make a lot of S’s baby food from scratch, using organic ingredients, but it was a CHORE using my old blender. [...]

Non-Candy Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Do the brightly colored bags of candies call to you when you walk through the store, looking for stocking stuffers? I have to admit, they call to me!

Hello! It’s been rather quiet around here for the last few months. We spent an amazing and challenging 10 weeks in Brazil and just returned home a few days ago! We were privileged to spend time with a couple of different Amazonian Indian tribes and hold a month of training for leaders in a [...]
High-Yield Gardening Strategy
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whitney Farms. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you started your garden this year? I wish I could say the beautiful garden pictured above was in my backyard, but there’s no way. My poor garden is currently bare – things are crazy right now [...]

Memorizing a Deck of Cards? Super Foods That Make it Possible!
Did you catch the Dr. Oz show where the guest, Dave Farrow, memorized a deck of cards? He’s featured in the Guiness Book of World Records for memorizing 59 DECKS of cards. That’s mind-boggling!

Homeschooling: Taking The Plunge With Classical Conversations
Yes, we have joined the growing number of folks who are choosing to homeschool. We chose it for a myriad of reasons, but it started with wanting to protect my tender-hearted redhead. With a little girl down the street coming home from kindergarten with black eyes from the playground, and the administration turning a blind [...]
The Road Less Traveled During Pregnancy
I had a great ob doctor for my first two deliveries. He wasn’t quick on the interventions, and I liked his balanced approach. Even before all the debate about get-the-flu-vaccine-or-not, he recommended against it, because there wasn’t enough testing down on preggo mamas and babies. Then we moved and I got pregnant with baby #3. [...]
