Nature School

This month Landen has been apart of a free-trial for Honeybee Nature School. 

He loves Nature School! If only every day was a Nature School day!

He loves the opportunity to get out of the house, explore and make new friends!

The snacks are healthy and Julie is amazing!

Chia Drink

Today I want to share with you a recipe to make your own chia drink. I've been eyeing those Mamma Chia drinks for months! I just could not bring myself to spend $3+ on a drink for myself. Now I don't have to. From what I've heard, the home-made version tastes better too! Problem solved!

Can I just say... this was SO GOOD! I did share a little with the hubby and children as we were driving to visit family. My little girl exclaimed.... "Oh this is SO YUMMY!!" We were shocked by her amazement, enthusiasm and the fact that she liked the texture of it.

Why Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds are said to be "among the most nutritious foods on the planet." They are loaded with fiber, which helps feed good gut bugs, protein, which helps control appetite, omega 3s, calcium, for strong bones, antioxidants, which may help with ageing and reducing cancer risks. They are also a low-carb friendly food, which may cause major improvements in Type 2 diabetes. As well as lower the risk for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Cute and Comfy Reusables

I finished up a second batch of washable pantyliners. I love that they are super soft and cute.

More and more I'm becoming open to the idea of cloth diapering, I'm not quite there yet... I'm just saying I'm open to the idea.

Cloth pantyliners on the other hand are awesome.

I love the huge amount of options I have for fabric, designs, and colors. I love that once they are made you will never have to buy a box of pantyliners again! This is just one more thing I do to be more frugal.

Reusables are also green, reducing garbage, plastic and paper usage and landfill space.

Why a Menstrual Cup?

Maybe you've heard about them? Or maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about?

Today you are going to learn about the benefits of choosing a menstrual cup, basic instructions, and just how easy they are to use. 

I am sharing this information with you today because since I have ditched all tampons and other feminine care products, my life has changed... for the better! I have no plans or thoughts of going back. EVER!

Menstrual cups really are too good to be kept a secret. You my friend deserve to learn more about them!

Fermented Lemonade

Fermenting foods is so EASY! Of course I didn't think that at first, but now that I have made several different items, I can safely say that anyone can do this!

I wanted to start off simple. I decided on Lemonade! Lemonade + Probiotics = A Happy Tummy

Below is a picture from a facebook post I made. You will see two half gallons of lemonade. I believe one was raspberry and one was strawberry. I also made a batch of Fermented Carrot Sticks.
