This post brought to you by Softcup. All opinions are 100% mine. When it comes to our periods women have other options, beyond the traditional tampon or sanitary pad, though you would not think so by looking at most store shelves. Tampons and pads reign supreme and yet both have so many issues, healthwise and environmental, that it makes sense to look at the other options. Pads are sumpremely uncomfortable (like wearing a diaper), they leak, and they end up in landfills in mass quantities. … [Read more...]
The Case for Barefoot Running
This is not a book I would typically review here but It has been so helpful to me I thought I would. A couple months ago I started running again.. after over a decade long hiatus.

After I was forced to take several days off due to this I decided to go to the library and see if they had any … [Read more...]
Non Plastic Storage Container Solutions
When I was doing some deep cleaning in my kids bedrooms last week I decided to research some non plastic options for storage containers.

I settled for thrift store … [Read more...]

We really needed the space for food so we did a quick remodel today. After cleaning it out we painted … [Read more...]
3 Of My Favorite Books
My hubby and I were doing a mini re-model project in my office over the weekend. I was pulling books off the upper shelves to clean and prep them for paint and came across a few gems that I absolutely love and wouldn't do without in my personal library. Since they were a hair's width away from the ceiling I don't drag out the ladder to pull them down and reference them as much as I used to but after perusing them today, while hubby painted, I knew I had to write about them. Despite the fact … [Read more...]
