I just started reading a new book titled Change Comes to Dinner, I’m only halfway done and I’m already in love! It’s an inspiring book about all the individuals across America working to make local, sustainable, natural foods more of a realistic option.Eating locally is no doubt important to us as many of you already know...

I’ll admit it, as a family of four I am now getting my butt kicked with the laundry. It is not so much the cloth diaper laundry that is killer but just the shear volume of stuff to wash in a week. Sure the spit up outfits and bedding is a temporary contributing factor as...

It is not easy to up and leave in the middle of your season harvest after putting in all the hard work and anxiously awaiting the payoff. We are fixing to abandon the garden now and turn our focus to the upcoming birth of Baby Sister. It isn’t as bad as it could be considering...

Did you know chickens that forage...

Early May brings us the first tastes of our garden handiwork. This year was not exception. Last night I found myself with several radish, some turnips we got at the store a while back, salad greens and a desire to make something wholesome for Nathan’s overlooked birthday. Well, it wasn’t really overlooked… Just had to...

That is right I said it! As avid couponers and deal seakers even we are disgusted by the new show that has been airing as of lately. In general any show that rewards for the negative is a show we avoid. We don’t watch Intervention or Hoarders or Jersey Shore. All those shows just focus...
