Last weekend we moved into a new place! You know the joys of moving two adults, but what about moving a 4 year old? At first he was super excited to move because he now gets his very own bathroom connected to his bedroom!

Give Your Body an Antioxidant Boost With a Blueberry Citrus Body Scrub
There is no such thing as blueberry essential oil. I wish that I could get essential oils in mango, strawberry, pineapple, and blueberry, but alas they just don’t exist! If you see a website proclaiming their FLAVOR oils as essential oils, you should most definitely be worried.
The BEST Homemade First Time Mom’s Kit! (or any new mother for that matter!)
It’s spring time in the northern hemisphere and every one around me is getting pregnant and having babies! It’s that time of year for twitterpating and baby showers! The most recent baby shower that I attended was for a family friend and her impending little princess, Kirbi! I decided it was time that I put […]
DIY All-Natural Kid’s Paint That Is Even Better Than My Last Recipe
I really do love to paint. My mother was an aspiring artist in her off time (along with being a writer…where’s her blog? I think she should totally follow my lead and start her own blog!) and she always did fantastically fun craft projects with us, when we were kids. I am a right brained […]

Make Your Own Holiday Gifts: Organic Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats
I don’t know how it is in your house, but in our house, our animals are just as much a part of the family as our own son is. Our dog Sirius is my son’s best friend and brother. They spend all day long romping through our house together, always getting into things as two […]
Make Your Own Holiday Gifts: Body Scrubs
Every girl out there who has ever used a salt or sugar scrub, knows and LOVES that luxurious feeling that your skin gets after rinsing off. In the middle of the summer time, I am usually partial to a coconut lime version of one of these, but during the winter time I am in need […]
Make Your Own Holiday Gifts: Bath Salts (not the zombie making kind)
Bath salts are by far the easiest, of all of the bath gifts, to make. All it takes is some epsom salt and some essential oils. I made two different kinds of salts I put together here, and I put the recipe for both. The first one also has some baking soda to soften the […]
