    My Toddler’s Cavities | our Silver Diamine Fluoride and Surgery experience

    May 28, 2018 / No Comments

    May 28, 2018 Cavities.  There is so much conflicting information out there about what causes them, what prevents them, how to treat them and even if they can be stopped or reversed.  I’m going to share my son’s journey, including his experience with Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment. Hopefully this can help or comfort someone going through the same thing. How it began Both of my younger children have had very bad dental caries in their baby teeth.  Robert, my youngest, had his first tooth break through around 7 months old.  At the time, he was still nursing (he nursed until 2 years 11 months old) and was not on many…

    How to Survive on One Income?

    May 27, 2018 / No Comments

    The economy isn’t what it used to be, friends.  20 some years ago it was completely acceptable and attainable for families to get by in a one income household.  Nowadays, we see moms dropping off their newborns to daycare, relatives homes, leaving them with dad who just got off third shift work himself, and hustling off to a 9-5 (or more) job.  I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with moms working, heck – I say more power to ya if you can juggle it all! – but… lots of moms don’t have a choice.  There are some families who want mom to stay at home and raise the kids, but…

    Why I’m no longer Vegan

    May 26, 2018 / No Comments

    First off, I want to open with a great big I HATE LABELS.  I honestly do.  Labels make everything more difficult, keep us in a box and put so much unnecessary pressure on us.  No, this isn’t why I’m no longer Vegan, but I never liked the title to be honest.  Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into it.  We should probably start from the beginning. What the Health? I don’t like wasting my time, so I don’t really watch TV or movies often.  However, one evening last August, I was bored (imagine that) and found myself with some free time, so I turned on Netflix to…

    School Bus or RV | Why We Bought a Bus

    You might be a bit confused at this point, so if you have no idea why someone would say School Bus and RV in the same sentence, go check out my other post What is a Skoolie? first.  Now that we’re on [relatively] the same page, let’s get into it.  Naturally, when I tell people my big dream, they respond with “But, why a school bus?  And why do you want to travel?  Shouldn’t you wait until the kids are older and you retire (aka are almost too old to hike/explore/enjoy life and give up the most precious years with my babies which would be an amazing learning experience and…

Helping moms detox their homes, bodies and minds

When your math box money gets lost you gotta whip When your math box money gets lost you gotta whip out the Monopoly money… or as us diary of a wimpy kid fans in this house call it… “buh buh buh buhhhhh!!! Mom bucks!” #diaryofawimpykid #monopolymoney #homeschool
Do you know? Do you care? Do you blindly trust? Do you know? Do you care? Do you blindly trust?
I’ve been thinking about coffee again, it’s be I’ve been thinking about coffee again, it’s been smelling good to me (I hated the smell for awhile) and I was trying to remember how it tasted, so I decided this morning to make a small cup.  It was pretty yummy, although not *as* good as I remember. 

I’ll decide on a morning by morning basis if I want to have a cup or not.  I really have been enjoying my teas lately. 

It’s important to not tilt to the extreme in anything.  I find when I say things like “I can’t have that” I feel restricted, and even flipping it to “I don’t want to have that” feels like a lie - I truly *didnt* want it for over a month, but then I did, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I use local raw honey and grass fed cream in my coffee, and it’s organic.  So it’s not bad for me in moderation, which is pretty much how I’ve always enjoyed it (except during my pregnancy with Gianna, I would drink a pot a day while waitressing at Cracker Barrel - it didn’t seem to effect her, lol). 

All this to say, don’t be so hard on yourself mama!  I’m pretty much back down to zero sugar (in cooking, baking, etc) and only have the occasional “treat” so I’m pretty proud of myself as far as that goes.  If I want a cup of coffee, I’ll have it 🥰 

Oh as far as results of giving it up for about 6ish weeks…. I didn’t notice much of a difference in energy levels. I thought once it was “out of my system” I’d get some type of energy boost, but I think being pregnant just has me tired.  Maybe I’m just too hard on myself.

So I just realized something that I feel like shou So I just realized something that I feel like should have been obvious to me sooner considering how much I bake lol.

My oven runs hot most of the time,which I sorta knew. But, while our cookies have always turned out delicious and fairly uniform as long as I mix them completely and time them correctly … babysitting them and adjusting the oven temperature and even cracking open the oven door during the last few minutes if it “feels right” makes a huge difference in their appearance, uniformity and texture!  Check out more photos in the comments . 

The other thing to consider is some like them crispy some like them soft. The great thing about these cookies is they have that initial crisp but they’re chewy and amazing inside.  I’m staying away from processed sugar but I did have one yesterday I won’t lie. Lol.
