Lip Loving, Taste Bud Craving Sensual Valentine Gifts

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:55:02 +0000

I’m a modest person but this morning I had something orgasmic – Equal Exchange Fair Trade Coffee and Chocolate, together. The combination was almost indescribable with my taste buds feel in love. When Mambo Sprouts asked me to review coffee and chocolate from Equal Exchange, they had to twist my arm (sarcasm) but I agreed and my mouth [...]

Sometimes You Do Not Like What You Hear BUT You Need to Hear It

greenandcleanmom — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:00:42 +0000

My good friend Monica inspires me to be a better person and mother, yet we’re in different countries and mostly communicate via email, blog posts and the occasional phone call. At one time we were flipping a website together; talking regularly from country to country (isn’t blogging and the social media world cool?). But life [...]

I’d Rather Talk Toilet Paper

greenandcleanmom — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 05:27:47 +0000

The Tea Party Convention was being held at the same time as the Blissdom convention and the buzz is that Sarah Palin was their keynote speaker – fans of Sarah (including some of my family members) were super excited; while others were rolling their eyes. I’m with the second group of people and would rather let you know [...]

It is a Journey: Live and Learn

Another, trip in my challenge to live more eco-friendly and non-toxic; a frustrating one too! The Soda Stream, a product my family and I have really enjoyed for the past few months – it appears that though it is good at reducing waste and does save my family money…the bottles aren’t as non-toxic as I [...]

Healthy Fruit Dips for Kids

greenandcleanmom — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:20:42 +0000

My kids love fruit but I find that like most things fruit can get boring if I serve it the same way each time. I like to buy local if possible, Michigan farmed if possible and organic when economically feasible. I also enjoy and get a lot of inspiration from the Big Book of Recipes or [...]

Camaraderie

greenandcleanmom — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:46:24 +0000

I feel emotionally and mentally exhausted – my bones hurt but I smile from ear to ear. I have witnessed camaraderie in its greatest form; without strings attached. Friendship based on doing GREAT for other people and working hard to make something BIG happen. I’ve lived most of my life in this small community and [...]

Compassionate Green Hearts

greenandcleanmom — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:00:54 +0000

Standing in line for food; it doesn’t make a person swell up with pride. Asking for help to pay a heating bill or finding the courage to borrow gas money – it is tough. Times are tough for many, many people right now. People see me with a nice car, home, traveling and with a [...]

Ouch! Blissdom! Peas!

greenandcleanmom — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:19:35 +0000

photo credit: JoshuaDavisPhotography.COM I’m leaving on a Jet Plane; don’t know when I’ll be back again.” This is the tune that I continually sang yesterday to myself (of course). I stepped on a pea with my barefoot, burned the palm of my hand on the cook top after my husband forgot to turn it off, [...]

$5 Dollar Dinners

greenandcleanmom — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:47:56 +0000

With the economy and most people pulling the purse strings tighter, the book $5 dinners appealed to me. How can you make a dinner for a family of 4 with a $5 bill; is that even possible? When it comes to organic, maybe not but fresh, homegrown, locally grown or on sale – that might [...]

Juggling It All – How Do You Do It Mom?

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:22:04 +0000

How do you do it? A question that is asked of me, almost on a daily basis, is how do I do everything I do? It seems impossible when I list is all off to someone and it actually has me wondering at times but when I break it down; it seems very manageable and doable [...]
