It’s so nice to have you here in my little patch of the blogosphere!  I hope that you find this website’s resources warm, inviting, helpful and based in reality!  In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a busy homeschooling mom who is struggling with time management and blogging doesn’t always make the top ten list.  But there’s a lot here to look through and read about, so please feel free to browse around in the event that there’s nothing recent posted.  You are always welcome to subscribe, drop me a line, or check out my Nutritional Therapy consultation services I am now offering via the web!  Thank you for visiting!

Functional Hypothyroidsim and What to Eat

Posted on | September 3, 2010 | No Comments

Functional hypothyroidism is on the rise, and it effects more of us than we realize. While a traditional thyroid panel may not reveal it, there are many, many people who go undiagnosed with hypothyroidism yet still have all of the symptoms.  There are many, many reasons for decreased thyroid function, and they are beyond the scope of this article.    However, the goal of this article is to simply share some thoughts on how to eat if you are struggling with symptoms of a sluggish thyroid.

Coffee Alternatives

Posted on | August 31, 2010 | 4 Comments

Have you seen the new “eco-cup”? It’s awesome!  I was able to bargain for one for free at Office Depot (it’s a long story) not too long ago and I love it!  Now that autumn is becoming a reality, it’s time to think back on the hot beverages that sustain us through the winter.  Although I know I’m in the minority, it seems like we Americans have got to get a grip on our collective coffee additction. Fortunately the stuff makes me feel awful, so I naturally avoid it, but for so many others (and I know you’re out there) it’s a habit, a fix—an addiction? Read more

Grain-Free Cherry-Chocolate Chip Scones

Posted on | July 21, 2010 | 10 Comments

Please forgive the lack of picture here. Our camera has decided to “pursue other opportunities” as a paperweight, so we are in the market for a new one.  Luckily Costco is having a good price on a higher-quality camera, so perhaps the next generation of blog photos will look a bit more professional! One can only hope…..but back to the scones. If there ever were a more picture-perfect breakfast, I haven’t seen one in a while.  One that was delicious, nourishing, and grain-free at least!  Read on…. Read more

Nutritional Therapy: The Key to Healthy Motherhood

Posted on | July 7, 2010 | 8 Comments

Today begins a several-part series on nutritional therapy and healing through diet, based on some notes and reflections on my own and my daughter’s health journey for the last five years.  Her story is a living testimony at how damaging antibiotics and processed food can be, and how healing nourishing foods are!  And my story highlights just how amazing and far-reaching the effects of optimal nutrition for energy, weight loss, positive mood, and healthy skin.

New Chapters

Posted on | July 4, 2010 | 10 Comments

Yes, it’s been too long since I posted.  To be honest, I’ve been having some major blogging anxiety. I didn’t know where it was coming from at first, so I had to take some major steps back. I wanted to focus on finishing my Nutritional Therapy Certification (and yes, I’ve now graduated!!!! Horray! More on that soon…).  So through lots of soul-searching, prayer, and lots and lots of kombucha I think I’ve come to enlightenment as to what the deal was. Read on if you are interested in a touchy-feely personal blog post. Read more

Posted on | May 10, 2010 | 19 Comments

Waffles have got to be the hardest thing to give up when you go off of grains, but no longer!  I’ve been experimenting with grain-free waffles for a while, but it’s really hard to find a good texture and taste that works.  But I think I’ve landed on a winner! Read more

Free Seventh Generation Products!

Posted on | April 11, 2010 | 5 Comments

Organic cleaning products can be so expensive!  For those of you who haven’t taken the leap to simply rely on water, vinegar, and essential oils for cleaning, this is a good time to stock up on some earth-friendly cleaning products!  I personally like to buy Seventh Generation’s Dish Soap, but I also have been very pleased with their other cleaning products.  Seventh Generation seems to have launched an enormous marketing plan which includes generous deals and coupons, and now they have a rebate going, making it very affordable (even free in some cases!) to get these products.  I love how organic products are becoming more affordable with demand!!!!

Seventh Generation is running a generous rebate right now, and with coupons and deals going on all over the place, it’s very likely that you can score these products for free!  For the rebate you need to purchase any 3 Seventh Generation Products. 

You can find a manufacturer’s coupon here for Seventh Generation Products.

Additionally, here’s where you can find some good deals on Seventh Generation Products:

Albertson’s

Here in the NW, Albertsons is selling some of their Seventh Generation products on clearance for $2.00 each.  Paired with a coupon and the rebate, you could get some free cleaning products!

Babies R Us

I have heard reports from a few sources that Babies R Us also has Seventh Generation Products on Clearance. It’s worth checking out if you live close to one!

Fred Meyer

Freddie’s (a Kroger affiliate) has all of their Seventh Generation Cleaning items on sale for 30% off.  The prices will vary, but this is a great time to match up a manufacturer’s coupon with a sale AND a rebate!

Target

Last I checked, Seventh Generation cleaners were priced at $2.99 each.  That was last Tuesday (but that was the regular price as far as I could tell).  If you purchase 3 and use 3 $1 off coupons, you would pay about $6 out of pocket and get a $5 rebate, which is not quite free but almost free.

Whole Foods

Whole Foods also has an internet store coupon for $1 off 7th Generation products!  Match it with your manufacturer’s coupons and the rebate for a great deal!
