With the New Year coming up many have perhaps "resolved" to get healthier and exercise more. Why not make it a family affair? Many children nowadays are suffering from health problems just like adults because they don't eat right or get enough exercise. As parents it is our responsibility to serve them with high quality, healthy foods at meal and snack times. It is also our duty to influence them to get regular exercise as well to keep their body healthy instead of letting them become couch … [Read more...]

How to Make Homemade Almond Milk
This morning I made some raw almond milk. It is still a living food, it's vegan, and is very good for you. My two boys love to drink it straight up...my daughter would rather have raw cows milk I think. But none of them mind when I use it in cereals or in homemade raw ice cream. We also use it to make chocolate milk and banana milk which they all love. It is great as a base for milky matcha tea drink too. Yum! It is super easy to make. Other than the 8-12 hours I soak the almonds first it only … [Read more...]
I Dream of An Earthship
Hubby and I have been hoping, and wishing, and dreaming lately of the day when we might be able to get things in order and start building an Earthship.

Vita-Mix 5200 – BPA Free Blender

Anytime you tried to blend something with a little substance they would get jammed up, they would blend unevenly leaving chunks of ice in a smoothie for instance, and generally I just never met a blender I liked. That all changed about 4 years ago when I went into a Costco in Arizona and … [Read more...]
Going Batty is a GOOD Thing.
Over the weekend we had some excitement with a native critter. For the third time since we moved into this house we got a bat trapped in the house. I have NO idea how they get in but they do. They live somewhere nearby...my attic crawl space maybe, LOL, because most warm evenings we see them swarm the pond nearby and then go hunting over the crop fields that are behind our street. They are lovely to watch but I don't like them swarming around my head when I have laundry to do so out they must go … [Read more...]
