We recently took our second family roadtrip from upstate New York to Florida, driving all the way down the east coast and back up again. Last April was our first one, when our kids were only 2 and 3 years old. We had enough success with that one that we decided to do it again….
Mexican Street Corn Salad Recipe and Serving Ideas
Feeling a bit creative for a recent taco-night, I made my first batch of Mexican street corn as a taco topper. It was a delicious success. I’ve since re-created it a couple times, even eating it as just a side salad. It’s so tasty, and makes a perfect take-along side to bring to any fiesta…
My Favorite Non-Toxic Sunscreens For The Family
When it comes to the ingredients in products I put on my skin and the skin of my children, I take it very seriously. That’s why I made the switch to mineral sunscreen many years ago. The traditional, big-name, chemical sunscreens on most store shelves are known to contain endocrine disrupting chemicals, some of which…
Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken for Tacos
Tacos will always be a favorite in our home, and slow cooker meals are a definite hit for me – quick to prepare and easy to clean up. Combine the two and it’s a perfect dinner, in my opinion. I’ve been making shredded chicken for tacos and burritos in the CrockPot occasionally for at least…
Non-candy Easter basket ideas for toddlers
Looking for some fun toddler Easter basket ideas that don’t include candy? You’ve come to the right place. đ° It’s a rare occasion that I offer my kids candy, so I’m not all about going the traditional route of filling their Easter baskets with Jelly Belly’s, Cadbury Eggs, and tons of chocolate, ya know? Of…
Spring Cleaning for a Healthier Home
Happy Spring! It’s finally time to open the windows, let the fresh air in, and take on the annual spring cleaning. Time to shake off the cobwebs of winter and breathe new life into our surroundings. Not only will spring cleaning give you a happier, more welcoming living environment, but it’s also it’s an opportunity to create a…
Produce Foods to Buy Organic: 2023 Edition
The Environmental Working Group’s Shopperâs Guide to Pesticides in Produce has been my go-to source for choosing which produce foods to buy organic, and which to buy conventional. Year after year (since 2004), they’ve come out with updated “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean Fifteen” lists, and they just released the results for 2023. The Dirty Dozen…
How We Grew Lemon Trees From Seed
Each morning, as I squeeze the juice from a lemon for my warm lemon water ritual, I pluck a few seeds from the citrus, flicking them into the garbage. I have long wondered if it would be possible to grow a lemon tree from those seeds. I finally decided to try it as an experiment…
Why We Use Hydroxyapatite Instead of Fluoride Toothpaste
It’s been a few years since I used any type of fluoride toothpaste. My kids are currently 3 and 4 years old and have never used fluoride. I also decline it each time at their dentist appointments. I’m confident that their teeth are still developing strongly and staying protected despite non-use of fluoride because of…
Lime as Deodorant? Does It Really Work?
Let me start by saying that our bodies (and hormones) are all different, and a natural deodorant that works for some may not work for others. Regardless, I wanted to share this post because I’m really excited about this very “natural deodorant” that’s been working for me lately, and may work for some of you….
Three BIG Reasons I Love Our AirDoctor Air Purifier
