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. (I’ll be sure to keep ya’ll updated on our gardens as we go!) This week, all the kids have been in school – thank GOODNESS the flu has finally left our house – and so that means it’s just been me and my Mercy girl. 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…

Why You Need A Naturepedic Mattress
This post is in partner with Naturepedic. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I am SO pumped about this feature because it’s a biggie. The need for an organic mattress never occurred to me until I started looking into options for the kids. To be honest, Derrek and I were given a mattress as a wedding gift from his parents so we didn’t get to pick that out. I didn’t care about any feature for a mattress other than was it soft enough for me. I cannot stand a hard mattress. Derrek on the other hand loves a hard mattress. The…

Nontoxic Period Products That Perform!
Alright ladies, lets talk about that Aunt that we all get visits from but we really don’t love… let’s talk about Aunt Flo. YES, for those of you that like actual names, I am talking about our menstrual periods. That “fun” time once a month that we show how amazing a females body is. I mean, what man could bleed for days and not freak out? Not many! I’ve shared natural forms of birth control (why I choose not to use the pill) and ways to deal with those dreadful cramps that occur but I haven’t talked in-depth about an important topic: non toxic pads, liners, tampons – and what…
