Life Lessons from a Wasp

That moment every parent dreads is when you see a wasp INSIDE your home.  Last week we were eating lunch and noticed one sitting on the inside of our screen door.  I quickly shut the glass and ran around through the other door to our porch and opened the screen in hopes of the wasp… Continue reading Life Lessons from a Wasp

Kitchen Must Have- A good compost holder!!!

If everyone in the world began composting we could make such a huge dent in our waste and the quality of the soil worldwide!! Some estimates say that up to 50% of our trash is food- that makes me so sad.  We are working to drastically reduce our waste and really try to never throw… Continue reading Kitchen Must Have- A good compost holder!!!

AIP Meals for the week of 7/20 (including a couple outings!)

It's been 6 weeks I've been on AIP.  Many of my symptoms are getting better but I'm still dealing with a lot of joint pain.  My body is finally feeling up to regular exercise after my case of mono so I'm hoping getting back into yoga and long walks will help a lot. We had… Continue reading AIP Meals for the week of 7/20 (including a couple outings!)

Homemade Coconut Butter

Coconut butter is one of my AIP favorite treats. A 16oz jar of coconut butter at the grocery store costs between $10-$15.  I can make 16oz for about $3.  Good savings!  And it's SUPER easy- it only takes one ingredient. What do I do with the coconut butter?  Mostly I eat it by the spoonful.… Continue reading Homemade Coconut Butter

One of my new favorite things!

We have been using cloth tissues for almost 5 years now.  They're super soft organic cotton and are great for when we're sick.  However, after years of a child who carries them around we're down to about 15 from having 2 dozen. I was browsing Etsy recently and found Hanky Book.  I emailed the founder,… Continue reading One of my new favorite things!
