Late last year I wrote about Earthing - what it is and why it is so important so learn about and implement in our daily lives. The post is rather long winded but essentially it is about reconnecting to the earth...physically. It makes the case that we are actually meant to be in close contact with the earth and that our health suffers when we don't have that contact. We all know that kids who do not have the close contact and "touch" of their parents suffer physically and mentally. It is well … [Read more...]
After Black Friday and Cyber Monday Comes #GivingTuesday
I don't have any hard and fast policies about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Over the years I have skipped one or both or decided to venture out and get a deal or two.

I have wanted a try a pair of their hiking shoes for a long time and actually had a few of their products bookmarked in my web browser in preparation for purchasing a good … [Read more...]
Leave Your Shoes by the Door
A source of clutter my in my home that has long bothered me is the shoe rack inside our door. Rather than tucking the shoes neatly inside an available space my kids usually just throw them into a pile on the top shelf until they spill onto the floor. The shoe rack was a step up from the basket we used at our old place but that was cluttered and messing looking too. I am still looking for a way to hide the shoe clutter but we won't budge on having that designated space because the shoes come off … [Read more...]
