When I first started using essential oils a friend asked me if I knew anything about the potentially estrogenic qualities of Lavender and Tea Tree oils when using them on little boys. A study was done showing that using these oils on little boys could cause them to grow breast tissue. However, this many researchers […]
Lip balm is one of those things I never go anywhere without. I have always loved it, but even when I was a little girl, I remember putting on cheap lip balms and feeling the back of my throat tickle. As I got older I realized this was from chemical additives used to flavor and […]
There. I said it. Nobody was going to give me mom of the year award anyway (have you seen my kitchen? No extra points for banana cement on the floor). I know I’m not the only mom who has thought this, but we aren’t supposed to say it out loud. I love my kids. I […]
It feels so very good to be home! We drove a 14 hours day across 2 time zones from Tucson to Arlington yesterday, which was the longest drive we put in throughout the whole trip. The kids were practically vibrating with excitement as we pulled up to the house at 3 am (they were asleep […]
My biggest regret of this trip is not making is over to the Oregon coast, which I have heard so much about. In fact, we spent less time in Oregon than in any other state, which I know from previous visit, really is a shame. It is gorgeous and we missed so much. However, we […]

We stayed with their Great Uncle and his wonderful family. The kids have thoroughly enjoyed […]

And since Victoria is on Vancouver Island, that included an hour and a half long ferry ride, which is one of my favorite water journeys. The kids were completely delighted to be […]
Kamloops, B.C.!!! My hubby and I lived here from 2002 to 2004 and we have so many fond memories of this little city. Our first child was born here and we went most places on foot, so coming back brought a rush a memories of wearing my little guy all around town in my sling.
Epic Road Trip days 7-12 You may have noticed my lack of posting the last few days, and that is due to my extremely limited internet access. I managed to get to Tim Hortons and use the free wifi a few times to post to instagram, but that was about it. To be honest, I […]
