I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Sunday Stealing: The Dating Profiles Meme

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

Naturally and simply living- 1st edition

Posted on Dec 30 in carnival of living naturally and simply, do it more naturally, from scratchby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

Happy new year everyone!! What is your resolution for the upcoming year, are you interested in living more simply and naturally? We are always looking for better ways to do things and we are very interested in getting back to the basics in life. Things like spending more time with family, adopting a more healthy diet, growing some of our own food, composting, recycling and all that good stuff! Have you ever needed to find a home remedy or a natural alternative? Did you find what you wanted searching the web?

I thought it would be beneficial to offer some truly relevant and helpful information for you from writers all over the blogosphere! This is the goal of my naturally and simply living blog carnival. You can find submission info and more at the end of this post. Now I would like to present to you the 1st edition of the Naturally and simply living blog carnival:

It’s January and before you know it spring will be here! If you have a green thumb and will be gardening in 2008 you should consider composting! Food scraps can be recycled via composting and can make all the difference in your garden! Over at Hedgewizard’s Diary you can learn How to Make a Simple Worm Bin from Free Materials, worm composting is a great way to get great gardening soil and it will reduce the amount of stuff that goes to the dump!

Did you know one of the most common new years resolutions is to “loose weight” or “get in shape”? Every year people set out to make a physical change but hey forget that diet and nutrition is the way to positively impact your body! If you are looking for ways to make a physical change you need to take a look at your nutrition! A fascinating article called 5 of the greatest foods for your health can get you started thinking about your diet and nutrition so you can indeed become healthier and look better! If you are ready for a radical change in diet you can also look into a vegan lifestyle or you can pledge to stay raw if that suits you! Getting healthy is all about what you choose to put into your body so if you resolve to look better you have to feed your body better first!

Pledge to live a more fulfilling life in 2008 by getting back to what really matters in your life, but first you need to know what really matters most to you. An intriguing article posted by Edith reminds us of how fleeting life is in the article If Today Was the Last Day of My Life. Spending every day relishing in the present is a great resolution for many in 2008.

Others wish to get closer to nature or to stop and smell the flowers more as described in the article How We Can Find Healing in Nature. Too often we get wrapped up in the day to day obligations and we forget to enjoy the present. This can often make us unhappy and it can have a detrimental effect on our quality of life so start off the new year with a new lease on life!

Focus on the simple aspects of your life that bring you joy and make time for them! Treat your body kindly as it is your vessel in this life. Eat healthy and take time for yourself, you need to make the best of this life you have as you never know how long you will have!

That concludes this edition of naturally and simply living using. Would you be interested in posting an edition of this carnival on your blog? We need carnival hosts and relevant submissions, it’s a great way to build traffic for your own blog! Please visit our carnival submission form to submit your articles and post a comment below if you would like to host this carnival in the future!
