I have made it no secret that I adore the idea of subscription boxes with monthly goodies. I have tried many of them, mostly related to healthy food products and eco friendly products. Each month it feels like you have been given a wonderful gift (even though you bought the boxes) and going through them and trying everything is super exciting and fun. It is also a great way to try products sample sizes affordably and see how you like them before you buy certain products at full price. I have … [Read more...]
Nourishing Coconut Berry Smoothies and Popsicles
The weather warmed up pretty fast here in Central Ohio of late. I went from having the heat on to having to open windows and put box fans in them so we wouldn't have to resort to using the A/C, all in the span of one week.

Here is our latest recipe. I have been making the popsicles for the kids and I … [Read more...]
Weekending with Sushi, Flowers, and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Omega3 and DHA from Algae Instead of Fish Oils
Last week I posted about fish oils and why I feel they are superior to flax oils for Omega3 and DHA supplementation. With all the research that has been done into our body's ability to convert the flax into useful DHA I still think fish oils are superior for that purpose. Of course flax seeds are still beneficial on many levels. They just may not be the best source for DHA. Fish oils admittedly have their own issues though. For one, vegans won't touch them. ;) Also a diet of fish, flesh or … [Read more...]
Health and Immunity With Fish Oils
The foundation for a healthy immune system for our kids is a healthy diet with all the vitamins and nutrients their growing bodies need, getting adequate exercise, and good sleep. Because our food sources can be so tainted with inadequate soil conditions, chemicals in the food, cooking the food which reduces half the nutrient value, etc it is no wonder that so many have decided to supplement. I am one of them. I don't think a healthy diet alone will meet all of their needs...our food chain is … [Read more...]
