Homemade Orange Cream Milk Bath

March 3, 2019

Happy Sunday everyone!  Sunday is my favorite day of the week.  It’s always been a day of rest, time with family, refocusing, and call me crazy but the sun is usually shining on a Sunday!  But do you know what I don’t love….. Smonday…..you know what I’m talking about; that feeling when the weekend is almost over and the anxiety of Monday morning sets in.  When I start to notice that feeling coming on, I kind of turn a little…

Chocolate Toasted Coconut Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

November 19, 2018

Hello again!  Thank you for staying with me and my very sporadic posts!!  This blog has really fallen to the back burner for me a lot in the last six months, but don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about it.  I do still have a lot of great ideas spinning around in my mind.  In fact, I whipped up a healthy treat this morning that was certainly blog worthy, so I made sure to share this with you today! This past…

Product Review: Natural Products by Love Drop Apothecary

July 25, 2018

Well, it’s that time of year again! I’m busy packing our bags to head to Cape Breton to visit our family this week.  This summer we have weddings to attend and new babies to meet, on top of our daily beach trips and loads of family time.  All three of us are looking forward to getting away for a couple weeks, and of course that salt water air. As anyone who has seen the suitcase I lug home every summer…

Cocoa Date Energy Bites

June 29, 2018

It’s finally summer time!  At our house that means easy mornings, sunny afternoon picnics, likely a camping trip or two, and a visit to Cape Breton! I can’t believe we are days away from July already.  This year is flying by at record speed.  Mairead graduated from Kindergarten and is heading to grade 1 in September.  It will be a big change for her being full days at school and a big change for all of us because this Mama…

All-Natural Lavender Citrus Perfume Oil

May 23, 2018

Hello again!! It has been far too long! My apologies for not posting anything in the last couple of months.  I’ve been directing my efforts at applying for work outside the home and spending more time outdoors with Mairead.  I love sharing all my creations and recipes on here, but I had to dial it back a bit.  Anyone who has ever done the blogging thing knows how time consuming and it is, and how expensive it can get when…

Healthy Chocolate Strawberry Oatmeal

February 6, 2018

With only 2 days of school for Mairead this week (crazy town) we are gearing up to spend lots of time playing outside!  Aaron built a snow fort for Mairead last weekend that comes complete with three doors and tunnels to crawl through!  Luckiest kid on the block.  Because of our -30 climate we’ve been stuck indoors a lot lately and some days, it takes more time to get Mai bundled up in her snow gear than she actually spends outside,…

Healthy Chocolate Quinoa Bark

January 23, 2018

My daughter has just recently discovered Kraft peanut butter* and I am one pb&j sandwich away from developing a 12-step program to get her off the stuff.  She begs for it at breakfast every morning and literally vibrates when she sees it.  For years now I’ve only been buying natural peanut butter because I love it and it’s healthier.  Then while grocery shopping last week Mairead asked if we could try the stuff with the bear on it.  My mother always…

Cold & Flu Eucalyptus Shower Melts

January 3, 2018

Happy New Year!  I hope your holidays were everything you hoped for 🙂  How crazy is it that we are into 2018?  One can only imagine what kind of shit show this year has in store, hahaha! Our Christmas went off without a hitch, except for a wee set back.  The cold and flu have been sweeping through our house since Christmas Eve; enough already!  Poor Mairead has been battling the brunt of it, with Aaron and I trailing exhaustively…

Holiday Blend All-Natural Bath Bombs

December 14, 2017

Is it me or is “adulting” a lot more work this time of year?  I sorely miss the days where all I had to worry about was leaving cookies out for Santa and counting how many gifts were under the tree with my name on them.  Now it’s all $$$, busy shopping malls, and WHAT THE HELL do you even buy anyone anymore?!  We all have far more than what we need, and then some. When I started out my…

Gingerbread Whoopie Pies

December 6, 2017

I just finished flipping through the Restoration Hardware catalog; anyone who has me on their gift list this holiday, this is a good place to start 😉  Love that place! The last 2 weeks have been a hectic shit show and I am ready for a loooong break…whatever that looks like.  Luckily Mairead had a day off from school today so we had a quiet day inside and I soaked up every minute of this easy day.  But it’s Christmastime and…
