Toxic Swap: Plastic for Stainless Steel
This post is in partner with Healthy Human. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. One of things I didn’t know until I really took the time to learn was what exactly is in plastic. I am specifically asking about plastic containers and plastic water bottles (refillable and disposable). The biggest issue with using plastic is that it exposes you to harmful toxins that leach from the products. Even when using it for drinking, you’re drinking water but the chemicals in the bottles – especially when heated like left in the car – get dumped directly into the water. If you use…

Back to School: Lunch Prep
BACK TO SCHOOL IS HERE! Some of us have already started but some of us are not starting until next week. Either way, it’s here and I don’t know about you but I am super excited and so are my littles. Our children are attending a new school here and every day they ask if today is “the” day they go to their new school. I don’t buy my children new backpacks every year, I’ve found that a high quality one will last them a few years. They do get a new lunchbox every year. I read this article last year about how dirty lunchboxes get and of course after…

I don’t know about ya’ll but I am in need for a little “R and R” and this weather is helping me do so. It’s been SO nice outside that I have spent all the time that I can outside, even if it’s on my front steps just enjoying the breeze and a cup of coffee. I’ve used Healthy Human tumblers for quite some time and I’m so proud to say that I’ve eliminated all the plastic cups in our household. We just…

Healthy Human to the Rescue
This post is in partner with Healthy Human. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. One of the things that I can count on from my children is hearing, “I am thirsty.” The most frequent times I hear this is when we are in the car, out for a walk or before bedtime. Y’all, it never fails for any one of them to ask for water during those times. As the years have gone by, I’ve just come to an understanding with myself, not to get frustrated but to have a solution. Enter Healthy Human. This brand makes stainless steel cups that…
