February is American Heart Month and also marks the 10^th anniversary of the American Heart…

If you would have asked me a few years ago what niacin was, I would have likely said it was one of those funny sounding vitamins that I used to read on the side of the cereal box in the morning.  And it is.  But it was only recently that I realized just how important this little gem of a vitamin really…

February isn’t just the month of flowers, chocolates or spending time with the ones you love..but as heart health month, it’s also about loving your heart! Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death for both men and women¹. Lifestyle choices play a major role in preventing heart disease as well as controlling it. With this in mind, it’s never too early to start focusing on overall…

I started this blog several weeks ago to talk to other moms about my journey to become green.  My hope was to share information and maybe inspire others.  Being healthy, taking care of the planet and giving back are all very important to me and that’s why I typically post on my blog daily.

On a normal day, I am up at 5:45 AM.  By 8:30 AM, I have gotten my son up, made sure he was ready for the day, cooked him breakfast and driven him to school.  The beds are made, sinks and toilets…

I show my love for Beloved and Just Plane Dad every single day that I have them with me on this journey called life.  I don’t ever want either of them to fall asleep without hearing me say I LOVE YOU.  As parents, it’s important enough to us that even when Beloved is away from our home, at a sleepover for example, her Dad and I take the time to send a good-nite text with those three simple words.  She always dutifully responds…

My toddler is really into jewelry lately (I think she gets that from me). She is my inspiration for this unique Valentine’s Day project. What could be better than a cute necklace that is also edible? We had so much fun making these necklaces. I hope you do too.

Here in the Chicagoland area, people are wearing RED today as part of the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign.  Many people still do not realize that Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women over the age of 20, according to the AHA.  The upside to this?  It’s largely…

http://earthgirlsrock.com/heart-heart-disease-awareness-month Hi ladies I wanted to talk to you heart to heart about something that is very close to my heart that is heart disease. Believe it or…

It is not easy to raise children in today’s society when so much emphasis focused on video games, sporting events, and the latest trends in clothes. And let's not forget the peer pressure and media pressure that offers temptations to kids to do drugs, drink alcohol and get involved sexually. Today's kids face an overall absence of godly examples and moral living in a society that is moving toward "freedom from religion" instead of "freedom of religion."

When my second child was about 2 years old, I felt that pang of wanting a third. I expected that my husband and I would see eye to eye on this, as we had when we planned the first two pregnancies, but whenever the subject came up, I was getting a  sense that he was no longer on board. I patiently waited for the shift, but it was not coming fast enough for me. After months of tip-toeing around the issue, we finally had an actual conversation. I assumed it would culminate in a mutually…

When I first put this OBS together and started planning things out I never saw getting sick…

Have you ever experienced not wanting to listen to the whispers of your Soul?

Last week I had an argument with my Soul about flying across country for my business. In the end, my body had to take me out of the discussion. I got sick. I wasn’t going to San Diego. Period. And that’s the end of…
