It’s a crazy week, so instead of sharing some of my recipes, I’m going to share some of my favorite recipe links. Now, here’s the deal. I don’t always find organic body care recipe links. Do I make the item organic - why yes, and you can too. Almost any homemade beauty care recipe can […]
Honey is awesome for most skin types. It leaves your skin feeling really clean, it can firm, its natural antibacterial properties make it great for blemishes, and as a bonus your skin smells great, very honey sweet, and the scent lingers.

These are fresh face scrubs - meaning you make it, you use it or lose it. I suppose you could refrigerate for a bit, but not more than a day or so.

The other day my best friend and I took our kids to this cool garden area in Washington. There are different gardens - like English, herb, veggie, and more, plus a couple of ponds, a forest, fields, bees, greenhouses, and more. The kids had a great time.

1. Quit looking at nature through your frosty windows. It’s warming up, so get out there and […]
Journey North is a year-long, free event for youth (or anyone really - but it’s kid-based). Much of the fun kicks off around each February and lasts through May.
Journey North allows kids to participate in a huge “Global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change.” It’s set up so that K-12 students can share their […]
Not wildflowers the flowers (although those make a lovely gift) but Wildflower Organics the boutique. Wildflower Organics is a beautiful shop with seriously tantalizing organic, hemp, and other natural goodies for your home and family. They claim at their site to be having a grand opening online store sale. That’s a little odd since they […]
Today is my birthday! How exciting. Actually, I’m not that excited but if I could pick my perfect cake it just might be this veggies from the earth loving cake…
