5 Ways To Help Your Child Connect With Nature Today

By Guest Leave a Comment

As a mom of two boys and the Education Director for a nonprofit land trust, I am always looking for ways to cultivate a connection between kids and the natural world around them. We live in a world where access to information (hello, Pinterest!) is at our fingertips and “go big or go home” is often the mantra for everything from school projects to birthday parties. As parents, we know that being out in nature is healthy and should be a part of our children’s’ lives but we are often too busy or … [Read more...]

Bringing Up Bebe – The Wisdom of French Parenting

By Tiffany 14 Comments

I admire attachment parenting philosophy quite a bit and that is primarily what guided me when my babes were little. I have mentioned in the past though that my endeavor to be a good, attached parent kind of lead me to a place were I was lost, frazzled, and on the verge of a divorce. I felt like I was a slave to my kids every need and only now with more modern books on AP, like Mayim Bialik's Beyond the Sling am I seeing warnings to make sure that marital and personal relationships as well as … [Read more...]

Getting Dirty and Looking Pretty to Boot!

By Tiffany 3 Comments

This lovely lady to the right is my 8 year old daughter. I have two boys and yet she is the one who would gladly spend every available moment outside playing with friends and getting dirty. She is such an outdoor girl and she needs boots that will not only keep her feet warm during our cold Ohio winters, she also wants some that are fashionable. Whether you are splashing in puddles or building a fort you need to look good right? Well, I hear that you do anyway. The good folks at Bogs offered … [Read more...]

Wildly Affordable Organic

By Tiffany 10 Comments

I have written about eating well on less money many times. This post on affordable organic food is a popular one. Even though I think it is totally possible to eat well and not spend a fortune it can be a difficult and delicate process. I asked fans on my Facebook page how much they spend on food, assuming that they eat mostly organic, whole, nourishing foods. The answers varied but it seemed that families with only 2 or 3 managed to get away with spending only $200-400 per month. When the … [Read more...]

A Great Holiday Staycation

By Tiffany 4 Comments

I have been enjoying our holiday staycation immensly. It ends when my hubby goes back to work tomorrow and I am sad to see it end. For Thanksgiving we went to enjoy two days with family who live a short car drive away. We had our Thanksgiving meal there. I found it easy to stay vegetarian and 50% raw just with typical Thanksgiving foods. I filled my plate and the kids plates with mashed potatoes, veggie casserole, sweet potatoes, whole wheat dinner rolls, and lots of raw veggies. No need for … [Read more...]
