Clean Up Indoor Air!
Published on Thursday, May 21, 2009 by caryn Here in sunny California, it feels like we missed out on Spring. It feels like we went from temperate to hot in days! But in many parts of the country, spring is still very much the season. I am a chronic allergy sufferer so I do as much as I can to limit my exposure to indoor and outdoor allergens. I've done a lot of research on allergens and greening our... Read More » -

Plum Organics Tots
Published on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 by caryn I've always strived to serve healthy meals and snacks in our household. We regularly purchase organic foods to ensure that our entire family consumes foods in their purest and most natural form. When my son was a baby, I tried to make his baby food. Realistically, I did not (and don't) have the time for elaborate, homemade baby food so I opted for a brand that was... Read More » -

I’ve Been Feeling a Little “Off&#...
Published on Monday, May 18, 2009 by caryn I've been feeling a little "off" lately. I've been trying to think of the right word to describe how I've been feeling and that's really the only word that comes to mind. It really hit me last week when I took a 3 hour nap with my son in our bed. The very fact that I put him in our bed, after he'd been napping in his crib consistently for months, was an indicato...

Cool Off With Hint
Published on Sunday, May 17, 2009 by caryn Getting ANYONE in my household to drink water is a struggle. I don't know why, but I'm the only one who actually enjoys drinking water and I prefer it over juice or soda. Now you probably know that over 70% of the human body so it makes sense that we actually need to consume quite a bit of it (8-12 glasses a day to be exact). I know that sometimes, it's difficul...
