I feel so cheated.I bought this organic "juice" at the store (that rhymes with Pesh and Beasy). Look at all the colorful fruit on the FRONT of the package. It looks like juice. It tastes like juice. It even says "USDA Organic" on it. Even the ingredients are misleading: "organic natural flavor"....what flavor would that be? I guess if you only have 10% juice, you need that flavor. You might as well call it "Organic Kool-aid".Harrumph...Climbing off my soapbox n...

I love things that tell a "story", belongings that have a history. I love to imagine vintage linens, furniture and bakeware living another life in someone else's home. I have a lively nostalgic and wistful side of me. I've written about my love for vintage things before and vintage muffin tins are fast becoming my favorites.So when my friend and fellow blogger, Stephanie sent me this incredible vintage tin all the way from PA, I was utterly delighted! It's in excellent condition, so I went...

Welcome to Muffin Tin Monday! I am excited about this week's tin. We are making baby steps towards eating organic foods. We have already purchased organic grass fed meat, and organic fruits and veggies. I am not sure we will be able to go 100% organic. But at least at home, we are striving for as much organic as financially possible.Can I just say that eating organic is not as easy as it seems? It's not just a choice. Between finding affordable organic produce and meat and resisting too-good-to-pass-up...

Good day friends! Today is Muffin Tin Monday I have been a busy bee and tending to lots of "end of the school year" business. I envy homeschool moms during this time - no end of the year stress for you! I have mixed emotions this week. I have been following the Compassion International bloggers this week as they traveled to the Phillipines to shed light on the children living in poverty there. Writing about MTM seems somewhat unnessesary in light of what I have read this week.I do know...
Getting kids to eat a balanced meal with plenty of vegetables and fruit can be hard. But it's important to remain persistent in such a quest. Keep offering a variety of healthy options. If you never offer it, they will never eat it. So, offer it and see what happens. And don't give up after one try, or two, or even three. Leading experts say it may take up to 10 times for a child to like a new food.Muffin Tin Meals are a great way to get kids to try new foods in a fun and interesting way.We had:...
