If you’re a tea drinker, you may be wondering what to do with all those leftover tea bags. This has only recently become a concern in our house. Before we started brewing our own Kombucha (fermented tea) we were just occasional tea drinkers, maybe a cup of sleepy time tea all around once a week or so.

Here are a few things you can … [Read more...]
My Zulily Shopping Wish List
Zulily is a deal site that offers amazing prices on everything from kids toys and clothing to women's clothing, shoes, and home decor.

I was also uber curious to see why there was so much fighting in the trailer for the latest … [Read more...]

I have used many different shampoo bars and my favorites are the ones that come wrapped in fabric or a simple strip of paper...then the fabric/paper can be reused in crafts or composted. Shampoo bars also last me a long time … [Read more...]
Tru Kid Organic Hair Care for Kids
Okay I really think I am in love with the TruKid line of natural organic products for kiddos. Yes, I have almost tried every product in their line-up now and it is indeed love at first use.

It is was/is one of my top picks and now the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has given it the thumbs up, making it #2 on their list of safe sunscreens. It is free of chemical nasties, paraben free, … [Read more...]
