I’ve been slipping on my quest to live a healthier, more eco-friendly life. Now that things have slowed down a bit, I am trying to get back on track.

A Thorough Clean With Oral-B Deep Sweep
Since I am terrified of the dentist and refuse to make an appointment (but terrified of losing my teeth), I made a commitment to spend more time focusing on my oral health. I recently bought the little mirror, plaque picks/scrapers and everything. Eventually, I am going to need to have some work done though, but… Continue Reading
Surviving the Last of Winter
Monday night’s weather forecast predicted a big snow storm here in the snowbelt. I didn’t want to believe it because weather predictions are frequently off and it’s MARCH for crying out loud!

We all start the new year with a variety of goals. One of the top goals is always to exercise. I started 2012 with intentions of exercising more and I put that goal right out on the curb when I found out that I was pregnant with Jaxon. Although, light exercise is encouraged while pregnant, I wasn’t having it. Going… Continue Reading

During Christmas, we all got hit with a bug. Jayden had come down with it on Christmas Eve and then a few days later, the rest of us had it including baby Jax. Although Jaxon was a champ, managing a household of sickies (little ones at that) while being sick was rough and worrisome. I… Continue Reading
