Move over Little Debbie, these clean eating oatmeal cream cookies are delicious! I should know, I ate 4 of them the first day!

I couldn’t resist giving these oatmeal cream cookies a try when I saw them in my clean eating magazine this month.  All the ingredients are 100% clean meaning that the ingredients are organic and pure.…

For the most part I have stayed Gluten Free since my fast in January. I've tried a few GF products and have compiled a list of my favorites (and two to stay away from!).



Fruits and veggies are the biggest part of my diet though. I'm still trying to find different recipes that work for me that are healthy but aren't time consuming to make. As a toddler mom, I need to use every minute…

Does your car need some tender loving care?  Have your kids helped trashed your car?  If you have kids, you probably are already aware of how much stuff tends to accumulate in the car and if you are a new parent, here is what you can look forward to in the future.  I know that if I went out to the car right…

Is your bathroom a disaster?  Does your bathroom need deep cleaning?  I know mine is usually cluttered with beauty products and personal items on the bathroom counter.  The bathrooms in our house are lacking in storage so our personal care items usually end up sitting on top of the bathroom counters.  I wish…

If you’re like me, when kids came into your world you wanted everything in your home to be as clean as possible.  You probably went to great lengths to disinfect everything because you wanted your child to live in the cleanest environment.  And you may have even safely assumed that as long as the cleaning supplies you were using weren’t bothering you, they weren’t bothering your baby either.  Sadly, that’s not true.

Here are 4 of the most toxic ingredients that are found in almost…

Does your child’s room need a deep cleaning?  Does their room look similar to the one in the photo?  If your child’s room looks similar to the photo then it is time to help them get their room organized and give their room a makeover.  From time to time it is important for you and your child to purge and get…

Do you spend your weekend trying to get some cleaning accomplished?  Most women usually end up cleaning on Saturday mornings, especially, if the younger kids are still asleep.  This is a perfect time to clean up the kitchen and the living room.  Cleaning up these two rooms doesn’t have to take more than…

Yesterday, I was shopping at a local market and came across some hand-packaged baby bok choy.  There were 5 perfect heads of bok choy in each bag, and they were charging less than $2.00 for all of them!  I love a good deal even more than I love baby bok choy, so I quickly grabbed some, tossed it into my reusable shopping bag, and headed home to make a simple, delicious dinner.…

Up until about a year ago, I had never eaten beet greens.  It honestly never crossed my mind to do anything with them other then chop them off with my knife, and toss them into the waste basket while I went on to prepare the actual beets. Then one day, it just sort of hit me that I could cook with them, and from that moment on, my life was changed.…

Grocery shopping is not my idea of fun.

Never. Ever.

I honestly have stood in the isles watching others do their business with their kids in tow and stand in just awe of their concise calculated no hesitation shopping methods. They check off the list, their kids…

In my house, the floors are mostly carpet, aaaaaand I have 2 kids and 2 dogs. I could vacuum 3 times a day if I wanted to keep up with the mess. Our poor carpet...

So I’ve never exactly had the cleanest or tidiest home on the block. But now that we have two children under the age of 5, I can tell you that I probably win the title of messiest house in the neighbourhood. I have many mommy friends who have immaculate houses, and others who like me, have ‘well…

This is a great way to use chicken if you have any left overs. I pouched this chicken, and made chicken broth at the same time:

For Chicken Broth:

5 cups (12.5 dl) water

2 bay leaves

1 tsp salt

1 tsp whole pepper corns

1/2 tsp curry

3x 4 oz (113 gr) chicken breasts, chopped in…

It's monday and it's time for Clean Up Monday in our house.  Today is actually an easy one for me since we were away for the weekend.  The girls didn't have all that much time to turn the house up side down and inside out.  The one thing that I did come back with is a suitcase to empty and a whole lot of laundry to do.  It's amazing how much laundry a family of four can produce over the span of 72 hours.

My first task was to empty the suitcase.  While we are away I usually bring along…

So lately, I have been thinking of eating cleaner and starting a clean diet. Meaning, eating more “Godly” foods and also avoiding all the chemicals and words I can’t pronounce. “Bye-Bye prepackaged foods!” Clean eating is not just for body builders it is more of  away of life. Eating cleaner is a lifestyle change. The benefits are what sold me. It decreases body fat, increases lean muscle, raises metabolism, gives you more energy,…

So you might have heard me say that The Love Nugget has been getting a little pickier these days.  Which means that I've got to be a little more creative with meals.

When we began feeding him solids, I made the decision to limit the amount of processed foods he would be eating.  Sure, there is a lot of healthy products on the market for toddlers that I'll…

This is from my original cleaning post on my blog: http://yourhealthyhappylife.blogspot.com/2012/10/cost-comparison-vinegar-vs-shaklee.html

Which would you rather buy:

• 24 gallons of vinegar ($40-$120) 
• or just one 16oz bottle of Shaklee Basic H that will…
