A blog about nourishing and loving ourselves and our families.
When we think “organic”, we think “food”. After that, it’s maybe “clothes” or “cleaning supplies”. I don’t see anyone selling organic computers or iPhones (yet!), but, I’m going to tell you about a product that I bet you didn’t even realize could be organic: your mattress. Yep. That Sealy or Simmons you’ve been sleeping on for… [read more]
Years ago when I did not like to cook or really even know how, part of the reason I hated cooking was because I could never clean my pots and pans all the way. Or it took an hour to scrub it spotless. So it would take mountains of inspiration to get in the kitchen… [read more]
Confession: After Penelope was born, I gave my compost bin the middle finger. I just couldn’t do it anymore. Something had to give and composting was one of those things that got pushed to the back burner, along with showering, and wearing anything other than yoga pants. Sorry, I take that back: other than sweat… [read more]
Starting a baby registry has been one of the most thrilling tasks I’ve had so far in my first pregnancy. But muddling through a gazillion baby websites to find eco-friendly products can be daunting, so I’ve narrowed down a few places where you can register for the cu and greenest cribs, bibs and everything in… [read more]
As many parents, caregivers and teachers are aware, books are a great way to introduce children to new concepts and situations. The stories and visuals allow an idea to blossom in the mind, making a connection to something the child hasn’t actually experienced yet. It also bridges the gap between something a child has experienced,… [read more]
The wonderful Cassandra has once again come up with a killer post. This is a must-have list for sure. I have every single thing on this list in my house, except for clay.

Love this post from one of my new writers, Haley. I have been gardening for a long time and it is such a joy to share it with my daughter. I know she like broccoli and peas as much as she does, because she was apart of growing them. -Stephanie This post could be titled: “Don’t Lose… [read more]
The other weekend, I took Penelope to visit Kurtz Dairy Farm in Live Oak, Florida. As part of New Leaf Market’s Annual Farm Tour. I have been buying Kurtz raw milk for years, so I was thrilled to finally be able to go and see everything myself. Kurt’s Dairy has been in business over 20… [read more]
Trips to the market never looked so good! When I was in California, visiting friends, who just happen to work for Petunia Pickle Bottom, she was rocking their new shopper tote (and their new iphone case and wallet). She had several different patterns and used them for everything from grocery shopping to packing for the… [read more]
I was graciously sent Absolute Green’s 100% Natural DEET Free Bug Spray a few months ago to try out. It came just at the right time, when the bugs here in North Florida were starting to peak. Ya’ll know what a freak I am about buying everything organic and chemical free and bug spray is… [read more]
About two months ago, Tara and I were graciously given a pair of Vibram FiveFingers shoes from The Shoe Box, in Tallahassee, Florida. Tara had previously bought this pair, that is just for yoga and strength training and loved them. She then talked me in to wanting a pair too. I was not too keen… [read more]
While the food dye industry continues to assert that food dye’s have no correlation of hyperactivity in children and whole host of other negative impacts, I for one, do not believe them at all. Just a few weeks ago the Huffington Post came out with an article about how the FDA is looking into changing… [read more]
