Written by Contributing Writer, Kelly @ Eyes On The Source Here we are half-way through the school year.

After a couple weeks off from school and many routine busting holiday events, late nights and cookies galore...it's been hard to get … [Read more...]
DIY Hormone Balancing Tea
September 22, 2014 By
Written by Karli @ Feed Me Mama, Contributing Writer One of the very first areas of alternative medicine that I adopted into my own life was studying herbs and medicinal teas. Soon after I got married, I worked in a natural cosmetics shop, which introduced me to the benefits of healing and supporting your body with natural ingredients. I was fascinated with the properties of herbs- the way that chamomile tea could put me to sleep, and peppermint could wake me up, but both could help a … [Read more...]
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...]
First Days (and weeks) of School Traditions
September 1, 2014 By
Do you remember your first days of school as a child? I remember it being the like night before Christmas, I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Well, up until about 5th grade, after that, I lost all my excitement lol. Each year I remember shopping for the 1st day of school outfit, getting our school supplies ready, visiting the classroom and packing our backpacks. Then the first day came and the years flew by so quickly. Now I am a mom of three and I'm having my own "mom" memories … [Read more...]
Parenting and Educating Inspiration for the Fall
August 27, 2014 By
Written by Contributing Writer, Jenn @ A Simple Haven For me, August feels a bit like January. It's a time to evaluate routines, dream about the (school) year to come, set some new goals, and get inspired. My kids aren't even school-aged yet, but having been a teacher for so long and with my husband in school, I naturally break the calendar into semesters. So I look forward to the fall semester with anticipation, knowing that I have just one more year with my big girl before she starts … [Read more...]

A Sneak Peek into How We “Do” School 2014-2015
August 11, 2014 By
Last year I shared with you how we "do" school, which is a combo of a co-op and homeschool. And this year we are following the same system. We take time to reevaluate each year (and pray) to ensure this is the best way we should school our children, plus this works best for our family's schedule. I'm so excited about this year because we have a new school room and I have two school-aged kiddos. I have one year under my belt now so I know a little bit about the structure needed as well … [Read more...]

June 18, 2014 By
Written by Kelly @ Eyes On The Source, Contributing Writer I have been doing a lot of research on blood sugar issues lately. Â I have never been tested, but I am pretty sure I am borderline hypoglycemic. Â My husband always says I treat eating like it's my full time job because I am always trying to plan ahead and not go too long without eating or I become what we call around here...HANGRY!
