Hiking can be so fun especially when you are with those you love most. However, there can be many things that can turn a fun hike into frustration when hiking with kids. You might have picked a hike that you thought your family may be able to do but quickly had to cut it short. Maybe the trail was to difficult for your little ones, there were dangerous areas not suitable for children, or just to strenuous. I have been there before and sometimes even pushed our limits some. Let

Time in nature with your little ones can be beautiful but why not make it even more fun with some books. I have been using several outdoor books with my little ones that we absolutely love. We don’t go on any camping trip without them (or even some trails). The beauty of these outdoor books are that not only do they have activities but they are also engaging and educational. My girls have learned about various leaves, feathers, trees, and just about every creepy crawling bug we find. We also

Hey everyone, I am promoting a giveaway that Bend Soap Company has going on. You may have heard of them from a blog post that I recently posted. If not you can read it here.

From their lip butters to their soaps and lotion, all of their products are good quality and perfect for every skin type and skin condition.

Do you know what goes into your hygiene products? The chemicals, ingredients, and even how it’s made? I seriously had no clue what was irritating my skin and making my eczema flare up. My skin was always dry and itchy. Red patches continued to appear on my legs and hands to the point that it hurt. Winter cold didn’t make it any better. My skin would start to crack and bleed. The scabs would take forever to heal.

Eventually I started doing some research and found that the ingredients in many

Before I even became a conscious person I never watched how my habits had a negative impact in our world. If you guys remember I recently took a last minute flight to Puerto Rico to say my final goodbyes to my grandfather. On my flights I couldn’t help but notice how much trash was going out on each flight. I didn’t see anyone being conscious about their habits. They all were living life just like I was several years ago. They were living blind to their actions’ consequences. I have

Road trips can be loads of fun. I remember growing up, my mom and dad would buy us tons of snacks and used to put a small old box tv in the middle of our minivan. We used to watch all sorts of movies, ate tons of snacks, and always fought for the back seat. You know! More leg room and a you can actually lay out on it! We used to also play card games, listen to music, you name it. Now a days it’s a tad bit different.

Growing up vegetarian meant eating a lot of tofu in substitute to meats and eggs. This tofu scramble is one of my favorite childhood recipes that my mom used to make me. She added much more to it so this is, I guess, my version of my mom’s recipe. Kudos to my mom for always cooking healthy and delicious recipes for me that always had me begging for more.

I have always had a passion for caring for our planet since I was little. When in high school and beginning of college I used to only buy detergents and bathroom products that “seemed” eco-friendly and healthy. I was still very naïve at this time. Recently I have grown more conscious as to what I use around home to clean, items I buy, the harms it may be causing to our environment and to my family, and so on. I am not where I want to be with my conscious

OUTDOOR DATE IDEAS THAT ARE

We all know that a mother’s life is filled with milestones of her kids. Each as exciting as the last. This January 2018 we were able to check one off the list. My youngest daughter Isabelle experienced her very first snow day… well snow week.

The Day Before The Snow Came

It was January 11 when schools were sending out alerts that they will be closing the next day. Our growing city of Clarksville was getting ready for snow and icy roads. It was almost 70 degrees outside and it was almost
