Finding the best products to use and keeping things as natural as possible is always important. I sometimes envy woman who are all organic, all natural, all the time. That is amazing and takes some work! I, on the other hand, have just been filtering in easy, natural products through the years to better my health and the health of my family. For those mommas who like things simple like me, here are the 5…
I love finding new ways to teach our children gratitude and the gift of sacrifice. Lent is an excellent time of year to do this, as we remember how Jesus sacrificed for us! To do this, each Lent we set up our Lenten Sacrifice Jars! Below is how we use our jars and how you can start this tradition in your home as well! The 3 pillars of Lent As most Catholics know, there are…
Over the last few years we made some major renovations to the outside of our house. The outside is finally everything we’ve dreamed of but the inside still needs some updating.

Toys and clutter everywhere, that is all just a part of having kids right? They are in every checkout lane and in every television advertisement.
