Have a great weekend all! I slept in on this glorious Saturday morning and then made everyone a sweet and salty breakfast combo, muskmelon and bacon. It is cold and dreary here in Ohio so maybe it is a movie day? A laundry day most likely. I hope the weather warms up a bit tomorrow. We want to break in our annual passes to our local zoo. Today is the last day to buy the new Herb Fairies series/set. I have now read the first book in the series and OH MY GOODNESS it is great. My 7 year old son … [Read more...]
Inspiring Documentaries on Netflix
Unlike a lot of moms in the natural parenting blogosphere I don't really harp on media and electronics too often. We are not a TV free house and never will be.

I think our approach has worked pretty well. My oldest … [Read more...]
Ideas for Date Night and Greener Sex

As I was standing in line to get into the Ford press conference I met Jonathan Marshall of Parks By Nature and we chatted for quite awhile about the company and their mobile apps. I just got a smart phone a couple months ago and my main reason for upgrading was to have access to apps that would make it easier to geocache and explore our city … [Read more...]
BabbaBox Fun for Kids
For adults you have the monthly Conscious Box (of which I am a huge fan) but I also recently came across a similar concept for kids, the BabbaBox. If you subscribe then you get a new box every month especially for kids with crafts and activities to keep them entertained and engaged for a few afternoons, and not glued to a TV screen. I like the concept for the obvious reasons... it encourages play, crafting, creativity, TV free play, ect. But I also like it because it gives busy moms, and moms … [Read more...]
