MIA
I have been MIA. Bad Blogger, no cookie! Remember how I talked about FOMO? My friends are off partying. I hear all the cool things they are doing. I tag along to a couple. Then I hear about what I have missed out on and I am disappointed. I say I can't attend more than what I already am for fear for getting sick or sore. So I convince myself I HAVE to…

Fear Of Missing Out
Leo Baubata recently published an article on the fear of missing out. I will attach said message at the end of this, no worries, those of you that are afraid of missing out on it ;). If you do a search for this topic you will find blog after blog writing on this which might lead one to believe this is a recent thing. FOMO or fear of missing out was actually co…

Urban Homesteading
Remember how I said my ADD is fritzing? Yeah well, the recent thing to hyperfocus on is small space/urban/backyard homesteading. As I continue to learn more or brush up on my various skills (I've got chicken rearing skills, bow skills, nunchuck skills...) I am amazed by how many people are also interested in this subject. For many reasons as well. Fresh Fo…

Fresh Food From Small Spaces: A Review
I found Fresh Food From Small Spaces by R.J. Ruppenthal an inspiring overview of small space homesteading topics. Container gardening, vertical gardening, chickens, bees, sprouts, fermenting foods, mushrooms, and more can be found within these pages. I found myself considering topics I hadn't considered before. Ruppenthal discusses in simple terms the abo…

I Am So Bad!
Spank me! I'm a naughty blogger! It has been a weird time at our house and that's all I can say in my defense for not blogging. So let me catch you up: Today I get to eat real food again. I need to go slow... TMI Warning: skip to the end of this section if you want to avoid the discussion on defecation. :) Let's talk poop for a minute. It was…

Amidst a Cleanse
I have been a slacker. I left my phone in Seattle on Saturday by accident and since it was on vacation I guess I took a slight one as well. Not fully true as I have been active, just not as much as lately. Today is Day Six of my cleanse. I am doing The Master Cleanse. I decided on it as 1) it's a common one for raw foodists 2) readily available material…

Day Three
Today is day three of my cleanse. I have made it further than I thought I would, but I am hoping to go the full 10 days. Most people go off their medications for this cleanse. Meds can carry a lot of metals and other stuff that can develop into their own set of problems. Not that I'm telling you anything new. Yesterday afternoon I realized I hadn't t…

Check-in
First off: I mentioned The Food Revolution the other day during my review of Diet for a New America . Today it is Amazon's Daily Deal for Kindle for $1.99. Obviously I was meant to read this one as well :). My family is sick again. Public school and work places are the bane of a mother's free time. Tim is home for the third day in a row. Check this…

Time Management: Simplified
Time management is a hobby of mine. I love reading up on it, trying out different techniques, trying out different products. The most significant thing I have learned is that there are a gazillion different methods out there for a reason. No one system seems to work perfectly for everyone and often times, a blending of systems seems to work best. Personally I …

Um, so April is Yoga
At some point I will begin yoga. It is the 9th and I haven't started. This is so weird for me!!! I think I need to rethink my whole schedule. I would like to do yoga in the morning and I should definitely have time, but right now I am running late on everything and the morning runs through my fingers and next thing I know I am eating lunch later than I shou…

Diet for a New America: Book Review
Diet for a New America by John Robbins is recommended reading by many health professionals and raw foodist authors. John Robbins definitely gives a biased view of the meat, dairy, and agricultural practices of today. I think the first section of the book is enough for people to set it down and not even consider the rest of it. At first I didn't understand …

The Way of the Peaceful Parent
This article was so well expressed that not only am I going to put it somewhere to remind me often, but I also wanted to share with you all if you aren't a Baubata junkie like me :) Posted: 20 Mar 2012 10:31 AM PDT ‘… and she loved a boy very, very much– even more than she loved herself.’ ~Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree Post written by Leo Babau…

Raw Food, Real World Review
After I finished this book I looked up the authors online and what I found wasn't pretty. I don't know why, but for some reason for me, this reflects on this book for me. In 2005, The New York Post reported on Matthew and Sarma's break-up. "While Melngailis claimed Kenney is in her debt to the tune of $500,000, Kenney countered that she had p…

Weleda is a No Go
I spent two days window shopping online and in Marlene's and Whole Foods to find an all natural skin care line that is inexpensive. After all the work, I had settled on Weleda. I had plans to pick it up when I had some extra money. Thank goodness I was researching cosmetics cuz I found Skin Deep . Unfortunately, not all companies and not all products are …

Kelp Noodles
I mentioned kelp noodles earlier today. I have texture issues and thought these would not pass the muster, but they are crunchy and not slimy. Here is a great article on the benefits of kelp noodles: http://www.rawguru.com/what-health-benefits-can-raw-kelp-noodles-provide.html

Phenoxyethanol, Chaco Canyon, And Healthy Living
Phenoxyethanol, Chaco Canyon, and Healthy Living... Oh my! Bet you can't say that 10 times fast. Hell, I can't get past the first word. Parabens: I have no clue what they are or how bad they are for you, but I can guess they are pretty nasty. Phenoxyethanol is its "healthy" replacement and are in a ton of natural beauty products. I found it in…

4 Weeks Raw
I went 100% raw 4 weeks ago. How do I feel? Better than I have in a long while! Hold on just a sec.... <you hear a chair creak and footsteps away, some talking in the distance, footsteps drawing near again, and then someone flopping into a chair> K, I'm back. So I went and asked Tim what he would say if I was going back to my usual diet. He said…
