The Hippy Husband and I have been trying a lot of things to bring more nutrients and health into our lives and to help him lose some of the beer belly he has acquired over the years. After watching the documentary Fat, Sick, And Nearly Dead, both Andy and I were convinced more than ever that we […]

Homemade Love For Silas Thor
In the spirit of the holiday season, I have been on a mission to come up with holiday traditions that keep that magic without the need for Santa Claus. Yes, you heard right. The Hippy Husband and I don’t feel the need to propagate the Santa Claus myth in our household. I am aware that […]
Homemade Holiday Scented Play Dough For The Little Ones In Your Life
I love playing with play dough. I have always been one of those artsy types of people; as a child, anything that my mom would suggest, that had to do with crafting, I was on board. There is a lot of talk though, about sensory play and how it can enhance the learning experience for […]
Make Your Own Holiday Gifts: Peppermint Laundry Soap in a Jar

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 […]
Cars Vegan Vanilla Birthday Cake With Vanilla Buttercream Icing
It was my baby’s 3rd birthday yesterday! I can’t believe how time flies when you’re in love and having a blast! I knew that I wanted to make an amazing birthday cake, but of course it had to be vegan! I was inspired by Chloe Coscarelli’s birthday cake recipe in her cookbook and with that […]
