Sneaky Green Tip #4
On 4:25 PM

While scrounging in the cupboards tonight, trying to pull dinner together with what I have on hand, I realized a very simple, very yummy substitution that I've never made. So now, I'm sharing my lightbulb moment with you.
SWAP QUINOA FOR RICE!
It's really that simple. While it does take longer than instant rice, 10-15min, it's a higher quality grain. It's also an easy way...

Football has been ruling my life!

Baby mermaids are the best!
Hello again lovely readers! I know posts have been few and far between over the last 2 weeks, but football was ruling my life. My 7 year old's football team made the playoffs so they bumped practices to 3 times a week, as well as game days. I was eating, sleeping, and breathing football.
Halloween is Wednesday, and I am trying...

Five years ago today...

Today is my Luke's 5th birthday. Five years ago today I became a mother of 2. A mama of boy(s), plural. A mother to one blue-eyed blondie, and a brown-eyed brown-haired daddy-look-alike. An entire pregnancy spent in worry about whether I could possibly love another baby as much as I loved my first was put to rest.
He is our chunky monkey, our Lukey Pookey, our Bubby,...

I've been absent for a few days and felt I owed you, the readers, an explanation.
I think it's safe to say that I am a Mommy Blogger. A heroic, albeit underrated, class of bloggers. We fight the battles of daily life, of spilled sippy cups, and potty training. Teething and breast-feeding. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, ball parks, and ballet studios. We wash, dry, fold, and...

Healthcare vs. Sickcare

I feel a bit silly writing about this as I wound up in the ER on Monday afternoon because I was sick. I was under the weather for a few days, but Monday I grew progressively worse throughout the day. I had a horrible coughing fit that led my throat to swell and I was having difficulties breathing. After running the kids to the neighbors house...

I wanted to share these printables with you guys. I found them at Tip Junkie and they are originally from Free Time Frolics. Tip Junkie is a phenomenal blog about crafting, life, and everything in between. I've never visited Free Time Frolics, but I will be now!
I have boys. 3 boys. 4 if you count my husband. All 3 (4) are potty trained. All 3 {cough4cough} make a mess in...
Green Fall Decorating Ideas

Fall is in full swing here in the South! We woke up to 38 degree temperatures, and our highs haven't been out of the 60s for a few days. I love the consistently crispy cool temperatures! I love the leaves changing colors! I love seeing little fingers wrapped around steaming mugs of hot cocoa while we settle in for a movie night! And I love love love all the beautiful fall...

Making Your Own Convenience Foods
On 9:29 AM

Luke helping me make oatmeal packets.
As a busy mom whose husband works alot, there are plenty of times when I need convenience. When it comes to food convenience usually means that the food isn't nutritious, it's full of junk, and is likely to make my kids act crazy later. So what's a harebrained mom to do? Why make my own, of course!
Years ago I stumbled across The Hillbilly...

Getting Back to Nature

It may seem a little backwards, but now that the temperatures are going down (along with the fire ant hills) we can start enjoying the outdoors more. Football season is also coming to a close and freeing up some time.
A boy and his boots.
Last week, after being cooped up in the house cleaning and cooking I decided it was time for a much needed breather. I dressed...

Is There Ever Enough Time?
On 12:33 PM
| No comments
Time. It seems to slip through our fingers, be absorbed by school and children and cleaning. Before you know it only half of the day's tasks are accomplished, the kids still need baths and their teeth brushed, and it's already bedtime!
Time. It's such a precious commodity, and one we treat as though we'll never have enough of it. I heard a quote while I was driving home that said (and I'm paraphrasing), "God gives us enough time in everyday...

Make Your Own Dishwasher Detergent

I mentioned wanting to try making my own dishwashing detergent a little while back, and I did that 2 days ago. If you read my guest post about making your own cleaning supplies, then you already have almost everything you need on hand to make your own dishwashing detergent. It takes only seconds, and after testing it out I am really really happy! No stuck on food, no greasy...

I have 4 beautiful, unique, crazy children. When I became pregnant with my first I thought, "Ok, I'm going to do this the way nature intended. No drugs. Just me, pushing, and *voila* baby time!" Yeah, it didn't happen that way. I did nothing to prepare. No childbirth classes, no reading up on pain management techniques... nadda. When my first contrition hit at 10pm...

This is such a cool vintage poster about food preservation from TreeHugger. It's easy to forget that such a short time ago every family had to prepare the long winter ahead by prepping their own food storage. Root cellars, canning, ice boxes and the like were king.

Never Fear, Cloth Diapers Are Here!
On 11:07 AM
| 2 comments
With all the craziness surrounding the explosion of the factory in China, what is the number one concern? A diaper shortage. The factory that exploded produced about 20% of America's supply of absorbent diaper cores. I usually keep a few Huggies on hand for diaper rashes, long car trips, visits to the grandparents, or long days at the ball park, but I have NO FEAR of a diaper...
