January 7, 2015 By
Written by Christy @ Fresh Mix Momma, Contributing Writer Hello 2015! It’s nice to meet you!

Natural Oven Cleaner… Easy as 1, 2 & 3!!
January 5, 2015 By
It's a new year, which means new goals right? Well, a HUGE goal I've had for a while now was to clean my oven. Boy or boy was it yucky and I have been using it almost a year without cleaning it, yes- I did just confess that. You see, we bought our first house, a Log-home and moved in (in January of last year), got mostly unpacked, had a homebirth, started a new school year and got on with life. Time passed and I kept telling myself I'll do it later. Later came and went but while my … [Read more...]
Teaching your Children to Help Others
December 7, 2014 By
In the midst of this Christmas season, when most people think about buying gifts to lay under the tree, I thought it would be a perfect time to talk about ways to teach our children to help others in need.

These are all questions many of us ask ourselves even as adults, so finding answers is key so that we can teach our children to help others. Especially … [Read more...]

Reinventing the Cold Lunch
August 8, 2014 By
Written by Kari, Contributing Writer With school starting soon and routines getting back in order, if your child attends school, packing a lunch is a part of that routine. I’m not sure about where you live, but the choices for ‘hot lunch’ are not acceptable at my daughter’s school, so everyday is a ‘cold lunch’ day. I understand the convenience of your child eating hot lunch at school, but the overall consequences are nothing short of disastrous. {photo credit} And no, I’m not … [Read more...]

A Time and Place for Survival Mode
June 9, 2014 By
Written by Jenn @ A Simple Haven, Contributing Writer Survival mode. It doesn't sound particularly enticing, does it? It seems to be the antithesis of living intentionally, toward your goals and in line with your values. It sounds like just getting by. And who wants to do that? Not me. And yet, survival mode is where I find myself. In a season of being newly pregnant and feeling yuck, with my husband in summer school and working longer hours + traveling more than usual, I am just … [Read more...]
