slow mornings, simple joys

I always seem to have the hardest time trying to find the right bedding and curtains. My biggest issue is that I don’t like…

I love natural cleaners! I do because I am learning more and more how everything we use affects our bodies and the environment. I remember growing up and the smell of bleach everywhere. I am not against bleach, I just don’t want to harm my kids more than I have to. I’m their mother, they…

As most of you know I am big into organic products now. I am also a big fan of baking and cooking from scratch. One thing I have never done before is make real chocolate. By real chocolate, I mean from the bean sort of chocolate. So when Glee Gum agreed to work with me…
