Capturing Moments, Resolved
January 12, 2015 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer So I strive, each year, to create a book of photos of my family. I take thousands (seriously) of pictures, and my 5 and 2 year old would never see them if I never printed them out and looked at them - so I started making one photo book a year. They love to sit down with them and talk about our friends and family. I love that they can enjoy the many pictures I take. I wanted to add a new touch to my 2015 photo book. … [Read more...]

May 14, 2014 By
Written by Jenn @ A Simple Haven, Contributing Writer Last fall, not taking great care of myself finally caught up with me: I was exhausted, stressed, sick more often than usual, and emotionally all over the place. After catching what I’m pretty sure was shingles, I finally went to my doc, who asked some basic questions: Was I getting enough sleep? Exercise? Water? Um, not so much. Except the water. Thanks to what I lovingly refer to as “my sippy,” I excel in hydration. She ran … [Read more...]
