Stinkbug Naturals
When I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle, finding a deodorant free of chemicals but controls BO has been challenging. After five years, I can finally say that I found one that meets my standards. Stinkbug Naturals has been a lifesaver for my husband, Derrek, and myself. I have always been a “stinky” girl, to the point that I had prescribed antiperspirant when I was in college. I’ve bounced around from brand to brand and found that the most toxic deodorant would cover my smell. After looking at the many different deodorants and their ingredients in my bathroom drawer, I tossed them all and decided to go without. Ummmmm, my husband kindly let…

Jubilee Organic’s Making Lunch Time Easy
This post is in partner with Jubilee Organics. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Let me tell you about one of my best kept secrets. Well, it’s not gonna be a secret after this! Some days, I just don’t feel like cooking. I mean, I wanna feel like I’m doing the most when I’m actually doing the least. What does that look like for me? Before I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, it meant wheeling into the nearest fast food establishment but since I now know better I take pride in what I put into my body. One of the things…

Our Favorite Snacks Right Now
Before I had kids, I thought that I snacked a lot. Now that I’ve had four kids, I realize that I knew nothing and my children could eat me out of house and home with all the snacks they want. This leads me to get creative in the kitchen and make filling and healthy snacks for them and myself. I try to share what we eating but to be honest, life is so busy with all of them around that it’s hard to stop what I’m doing and photograph it in the moment. That’s why I don’t share as much on instastories but I’m trying to get better at meal…

Baltic Mermaid – TEETHING 101
Happy Humpday ya’ll! I am so stoked that we are half way through the week. I have some big plans for this weekend that include starting our raised bed gardens and the weekend can’t come soon enough.

She has seriously been the best baby and I am so thankful that she has been because have you met my 3rd child, haha! Lately, she’s gotten a…

Pineapple Juice Cough Cure
Cold and flu season has jumped back into everyone’s lives and man, it’s a force to be messed with. The kids and I have passed around all the germs over the last month and thank God it’s finally out of our bodies and our house. I really don’t think I could have taken much more. The last lingering of our colds were this deep cough that none of us could shake. We tried all the things, cough syrup, chiropractic adjustments, essential oils, honey, etc and NOTHING made it go away. After about two weeks of non stop coughing, I dug deep into research for what we could do. I found…
