  On The Back “Eat healthy real, whole foods.” Everyone has heard the advice, but it appears nobody can quite define what that means in real life. Is a healthy food one that is low fat? Vegetarian? Low carb? High fiber? What about oils, butter, or red meat? Jessie Hawkins, author of The Handbook of Vintage Remedies, addresses the food confusion head on, in an easy and straightforward way. My Thoughts At the beginning of this year I made a plan that I was going to start eating healthier. I have always enjoyed fresh fruits and veggies and I so far have done a wonderful job but, I am missing out on some of the food I know I should be eating but did not know how to find the healthy way to eat it. This book is amazing. There is too much to tell you about so I am just going to tell you some of my favorite parts. #1 There is a brilliant ‘Where to begin’ in this book. I have had a hard time trying to cut everything out in one shot. Jessie gives you ideas on how to do it a little … [Read more...]

Getting to know Leyla at (TooMuchOfAGoodThing) again!Where are you from? and a little bit about youI'm Leyla. Yes, like the Clapton song. I'm from beautiful Central Oregon where the sun shines 300 days a year. I live in Salem right now (just south of Portland)....where it rains 300 days a year. I might be exaggerating a little bit but that's what it feels like right now. I hate the rain. My husband and I will eventually move back to Central Oregon. Speaking of....we got married six months ago. He's pretty cool. I like being married to my best friend.

About OCEAN Complete Sinus Irrigation is a  two-in-one nasal irrigator and nasal moisturizer it helps relieve nasal and sinus pressure/congestion, while keeping the nasal passages soothed and moist! It is easy to use with it's color coded Actuator Tips and is drug Free!! My Thoughts My family has BAD allergies. Not me but my husband and daughter. I feel so bad because they are miserable and I have no clue what it feels like. But I will say that a few years ago it was much worse for my husband. He was taking nose spray and forgot to read the fine print. He took the spray for about 2 weeks but his symptoms kept getting worse. He could not breathe. Finally I made him an appointment. After speaking to the Allergy Doctor they came to the conclusion that my husband could have prevented this misery if he would not have taken the nose spray for so many days. Basically it started to close off his nasal passages. Since then my husband has had a fear of nasal spray. He does not want to go … [Read more...]

  Getting To Know Paige (graceella369) Where are you from? and a little bit about you I reside in Amherst, Wisconsin. I work out of my private studio nestled out on our country farm. I love to decorate, and create one of a kind items that are inspirational, functional and decorative. I have been a freelance artist for 20 years. I am a proud mother of three beautiful children who LOVE to paint and be creative with me. I opened my shop with the idea of creating something that no one else had come up with, so I played around with picture mats to see what fun things I could do with them. Not only are the mats so versatile, but they can be a really cool decorative addition to your home decor. I hand paint them as well as embellish them with amazing decorative papers. Pop them right into an existing frame, and create a whole new look. I found a huge positive response from family and friends, so I used them for my merchandise on Etsy. What is your favorite song? I really … [Read more...]

How many of you use cloth diapers? When my daughter was in diapers I did not know where to look to find them. I tried some Wal-Mart cheapies and I was not impressed. But even with the cheapies I learned that during potty training they were a heaven sent. My daughter could tell that she was wet and she quickly understood what was meant to go in the potty. I now have an at home day care and I have a little boy that is potty training. With that being said I was excited when I found Vilate and her site http://niftynappy.com/. Vilate was also kind enough to allow me to review some of her wonderful cloth diapers and she is going to give one of my readers a chance to win one!

Are cloth diapers really cheaper than disposable? Most parents … [Read more...]
