Schoolwork Station
September 8, 2014 By
Written by Contributing Writer, KT @ One Organic Mama My oldest son started school two weeks ago. To say the transition was seamless... would be a lie. A big lie. He is tired, testing boundaries, but loving his school day. He has wonderful teachers, is making friends, and has a smile on his face when he gets off the bus everyday. We have created a few things to help us get ready for school in the morning successfully and almost independently, as well as transition back to … [Read more...]

Not Your Average Guacamole
June 13, 2014 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer There are lots of reasons to LOVE avocados... and I'm no dietitian... but here are my top ten! Why Avocados ROCK: 10. They are delicious 9. They are a kid pleaser 8. They are an easy, soft, first food for your toddler 7. From what hear they are a "good" fat (still seems like an oxymoron to me though) 6. They are high in potassium (great if you are a runner or worker outer... which I don't know much about...) 5. They are … [Read more...]
Pest Free, Pesticide Free, Organic Gardening
May 16, 2014 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer I have been gardening for 3 years. The first year, after vegetables started making their way to the kitchen, my husband and I were both shocked at how successful we were without REALLY trying. Since then, my garden has quadrupled in size and we are growing MANY different veggies and herbs. I am by NO means a gardening expert - but I hope to share my gardening successes with you here! While most of you probably have started the process - … [Read more...]
Grandma’s Easter Bread
April 15, 2014 By
Written by Contributing Writer, KT @ One Organic Mama This is my grandma's recipe. We are so very lucky that my children know and love their GREAT grandma! She is the matriarch of our very Italian family, and she is such a wonderful witness to all of us. Since I don't get to see her every Easter anymore, we enjoy Easter with my husband's family, so I have endeavored to prepare it on my own. It is never perfect like hers is - but it always reminds me of being at her house for Easter! I … [Read more...]
Birth, Babies, and a VBAC
March 12, 2014 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer In light of Rachel's wonderful news (seriously - check out her ADORABLE new addition!!) - I thought I would share the story of my VBAC. It has been almost two years since my beautiful E entered the world and we have been blessed every single day since! One reason I think it is important to share this story is because on a few occasions mamas have asked about my VBAC and have mentioned that they don't know anyone who has ever had one. I … [Read more...]
Union 28: Marriage Apparel {Review & Giveaway}
February 4, 2014 By
Union 28 is an awesome company that "celebrates your spouse in style!" Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer One of my favorite traditions growing up was one I shared with my cousins. For Christmas we used to exchange fun t-shirts with clever messages. As a history teacher mine were typically historical jokes (ie: A picture of Jefferson Davis labeled "Most like to secede", or a picture of someone with furry bear arms that said "The Second Amendment")... I know lame … [Read more...]
Thank You Notes from Littles
January 10, 2014 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer Want to encourage thankfulness in your little ones? We started writing thank you notes early. The kids would decorate paper with crayons or finger paint, and I would write the note and talk to them about what they liked about each gift. This year, my 4 year old is ready to contribute (a little) to the writing process! He is having fun practicing letters and loved writing his own note to Santa this year! Imagine my surprise when he … [Read more...]
