Beets and I have an iffy relationship. Ok I don't really like them. I've tried them several different ways over the years and we just haven't connected yet. They always taste a little "earthy" to me, in other words they taste like dirt. We have a subscription to Door to Door Organics and in the… Continue reading The Tale of the Beet Smoothie

Strawberry Blooms!
I am beyond excited to see my strawberry plants blooming. I planted my strawberry patch last year. I ordered a set of 25 everbearing strawberry plants from Stark Brothers Nursery for $12 plus shipping. I think it was the Tristar variety though I am not completely positive (it was a year ago after all). I… Continue reading Strawberry Blooms!

Cherry Juice Sports Drink
If you know me in real life you likely know that I am a runner. I started running when I was 13 years old and pretty much never stopped. I went out for the track team in junior high because "everyone was doing it" and the coaches didn't cut anyone. I chose distance running over… Continue reading Cherry Juice Sports Drink

Kool-Aid Dyed Play Silks
Play silks are exactly what they sound like - big pieces of silk you play with. I ran into the idea when I was searching for non-toy gift ideas for toddlers and preschoolers in December. I found a great list on Nourishing Minimalism, and #16 was play silks. I had never heard of play silks… Continue reading Kool-Aid Dyed Play Silks

Homemade Cold Remedies
I battled the WORST cold I have had in a long time the past few weeks. It lasted a good two weeks before I was feeling better and even today almost another week later I still have some lingering affects (effects? I can never get those straight...). During that period I tried several different homemade… Continue reading Homemade Cold Remedies

Eye Make-Up Remover
Several years ago I posted about homemade eye makeup remover that was simply canola oil. I used it for awhile with success but eventually gave it up because it was, well, too oily. I switched to just scrubbing my eye makeup off with my face soap but then that seemed too harsh for the delicate… Continue reading Eye Make-Up Remover

My Favorite Kale Salad
Last year at a church pot luck I came across a kale salad on the buffet. I sampled it and it turned out to be the best. kale salad. ever. Unfortunately I had no idea who made it. A few weeks later at a smaller church dinner the same kale salad turned up again! This… Continue reading My Favorite Kale Salad

Valen-Slime
I saw a recipe for homemade slime on Pinterest (of course) and thought it would make a fun DIY gift for my boys for Valentine's Day. I had never made anything like it before and since my 3 year old loves Play-doh I figured he would like slime. It seemed simple, only three ingredients other… Continue reading Valen-Slime
