Here’s a super simple recipe for a baby shampoo that’s 100% natural, organic, safe and easy to make with a free printable! No sodium lareuth or lauryl sulfate, parabens or other preservatives or anything unprounceable. To get a shampoo like this in the store, you’d have to pay a good $10 or $15 bucks for [...]
Mosquitos are the enemy of the state around here, and they love to eat on Gabriel and I. Each bite causes a welt on his little limbs and he scratches them until they bleed. Definitely not good with the combo of dirty hands and a national West Nile Virus outbreak going on! We have to make sure he [...]
I’ve been using Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap non-stop since my first gallon arrived from Amazon six months ago (buy it here). If you’ve been following my blog since then, you know how much I LOVE this amazing soap (I wrote a whole post on it). I use it in cleaning products, in the shower, and [...]
I was so excited when the nice UPS man dropped off package in the mail from Lion Brand for me, full of Lion Brand’s Nature’s Choice yarn in organic cotton! Soft and chemical-free, can’t get better than that. I’ve been wanting to use this yarn for a long time, but just couldn’t bring myself to buy it [...]
Here is one homemade diaper rash cream that seriously works – and it’s 100% all natural, organic and pure luxury for sweet little bums. I have always been a huge fan of Desitin, well, since becoming a parent three years ago, that is. That stuff just plain WORKS. We started off using Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, but [...]
I am in love with my new homemade, organic body lotion. It is divine, decadent, and so rich. It looks and smells so good I wanna eat it and it is doing wonders for both my skin and hair! The coconut oil gives a refreshing coconut smell that always reminds me of the beach, and [...]
Ever heard of Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA? It’s an alternative way to support local farms and benefit communities with fresh, locally grown food. Here’s how it works – at the beginning of the growing season (around this time of the year – March to April), famers offer a certain number of shares to the [...]
I can only imagine how much money I’ve spent in my lifetime experimenting with all different types of shampoos, conditioners, mousses, and hair gels to tame my unruly curls (see my other post on how I care for my curly hair). Since switching to baking soda shampoo and apple cider vinegar conditioner a year ago, I [...]
On my mission to make my house green, I came across chatter on the web about the wonders of Castile Soap, specifically, Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap. I was intrigued because my mom says my grandmother used to use Castile Soap to wash her delicate clothes back in the 50s and 60s, and it is made [...]
I’ve had quite a busy weekend and even though I’m in one of my – I’m so exhausted I can’t see clearly – moments (it comes with the territory of having a baby and a toddler!), I still needed something to help calm me down. So, my new favorite herbal tea is Yogi Soothing Caramel [...]
