Organic Shopping Doesn’t Have To Be Painful

When I first started buying organic, researching foods, and reading labels, I had a really hard time venturing from my couponing, cheapskate  ways, trying to find the best deal on "food," but what I realized quickly was that what we had been buying wasn't really food at all.  Sure I could find cheap junk food, cereals with food dye and dangerous additives, and get great deals on fruit straight from other countries, but when I started examing where our food came from and what was in it, I realized that sometimes paying a higher price now is [...]

Safe, Green Spring Cleaning with Audra’s

A year ago today, I posted about the book that changed the way I thought about what we ate, the products that we used, and our environment.  That book was "Little Changes," by Kristi Marsh.  In the past year, we have made big and little changes around here.  And by following Kristi on Facebook, I began to learn about Audra Conklin, the owner of what was previously Modern Mermaids, but is now Audra's.  Audra has a license in holistic spa therapies and a big believer in anti-chemicals.  She and a friend teamed [...]

Crafting With The Captain: Making Valentines with YumEarth Organics Lollipops

Valentine's Day has always baffled me a bit.  I've read the history behind the day and am still baffled how it turned in to what it is today, but hey, that's okay!  I think it's sweet for kids to exchange valentines and well, it's just a special day with an excuse to eat candy, right?  I would feel a lot better about the massive amounts of candy that the boys will get for V-Day if there wasn't so much junk in them, which is why I was excited to use YumEarth Organics' lollipops to use [...]

Cooking with Coconut Flour?

gluten free

I recently purchased some coconut flour for cooking.  I thought it would be a good alternative to wheat flour and then I began reading up on all of the benefits of coconut flour.  First of all, it’s gluten free, so if you’re allergic to gluten, it’s good that there is yet another alternative to wheat flour.  It’s also high in fiber and protein and can be used in muffins or quick breads to substitute for wheat flour OR you can substitute 10-30% of the [...]
