Reindeer sandwiches are a healthy and nutritious snack and DIY activity for children this holiday season but sometimes the children just need something smaller to pop into their mouths instead of the sprinkled holiday chocolates and cookies. A healthy alternative that children love to make on their own and will enjoy anytime of the day, holiday snowballs.

My face is always dry. I just have that type of skin and yesterday my Origins Face Lotion was gone. Gone. I have become hooked to the stuff ever since it was sent my way. I didn't even share it with my new Green Guru, Mckenzie. I kept it all to myself (shh)! I've been wanting to try something...
My daughter is only 23 months and she loves painting, coloring, getting messy and just arts and crafts in general. She's my free spirit happy to be painting her arms, the walls and admiring her artwork, wherever it may be. This time of year leads me to wonder if Santa ought to...
Markers dry out and then what, they end up in our landfills. Children love them and if they are washable and non-toxic, parents and teachers love them. I know how to recycle and reuse crayons but markers? I've never known how to recycle them and even when I tweeted about it and did some research I couldn't...
The weather here is frightful with cold winds that blow through our warmest coats and nip at our nose making us shiver. I love having a large pot of soup on the stove for the aroma and warmth that it brings the family after sledding or shoveling. A family favorite handed down...
When I think back to my childhood, I remember spending lots of time around the holidays making decorations and food for our family celebrations.
Some of the simplest activities were also the most fulfilling, because we were actively creating, not just purchasing. The time that went into each craft or treat was also a gift, a gift that said "I...
Babies love to put things in their mouths; it's one of the ways that babies learn about their surroundings. These activities teach them about taste, texture, sound, and shape among many others. Exploring in this way is important for their development, so it is no wonder that the toy industry is a...
An email came to me, warning me that baby carrots are dipped in chlorine. They are made from deformed carrots, peeled and then dipped in a high solution of chlorine to keep them from turning white and being deemed, "bad". This made me scratch my head. Food dipped in chlorine that I am feeding my children, who love baby...
Come on the colors are orange and black! I love, love, love Halloween. I love the time of year and the cool fall nights. I love the idea that I don't have to buy gifts and wrap them up for everyone but I can still celebrate and have fun. Goblins, ghosts, and gremlins are part of the fun perhaps...
I took a few days to announce the winner of the FuzziBunz Cloth Diaper Giveaway. I really wanted to read over the comments, explore the sites recommended to me and try out some of the useful tips. There were soooo many, thank you. I had my interview with Dori and Val, my BBF's from More Hip than Hippie yesterday...
There is nothing like getting dirty and finding things in nature. Children learn when they see, do, touch, and experience. To be a green mom, I have to let my kids just get dirty. They have to dig for worms, feel the soil, sometimes taste it and figure out what those worms are doing. It means scrubbing finger...
When you try something new or you've decided to break a habit, it's a challenge! I thought trying cloth diapers would be hard for me, seeing I knew nothing AND I have used only disposable with my two children. I wrote about being ignorant about cloth diapers and the encouragement and support was amazing. Thanks to all of you...
Okay, war sound harsh but it's a battle of sorts. Is BPA safe or isn't it? Is it a myth that BPA is harmful and the media is fooling us because we don't have the facts? Well, according to Mom Style News or Mom Myth Busters (same author), yes.
Is BPA Safe?
Here is it is folks, BPA might not kill you...
