Over the years that I have written here on this blog I have rarely reviewed makeup or skincare items. I have turned down opportunities to review products along these lines somewhere in triple digit amounts. The reason for this is simple...I rarely if ever wore makeup, creams, lotions, or other skin enhancement products. I didn't want to devote the time to skincare products and makeup application and since the world of beauty ingredients is so confusing and potentially toxic it just seemed a … [Read more...]

So have you made your Summer Fun Checklist or Summer Bucket Lists yet? Pretty much everyone knows they want to enjoy the summer months and squeeze as much fun as they can from them...but how?

Rainbow Spaghetti for Sensory Play
My husband and I took our six year old kiddo to an Early Learning class at our local Science Center this morning.

TGIF! Illness, Hospitals, & Good Books
Have a great weekend all! I will be taking it very easy myself because I was knocked onto my tush this week by a cold. I haven't been sick in quite a long while and my good streak was abruptly ended by a week and a half of bad eating. I had it coming. Life got busy with school graduation parties, a visit from an out of country relative, and a local blogger event. I ended up eating only 50-60% paleo and had grain based meals several times, plus a dessert here and there. All the grains and sugar … [Read more...]
