Staying Healthy During Flu Season

by Jennie December 14, 2010

As ya’ll know I am a total germaphobe! My friends and fam all make fun of me and it’s all good. I am who I am and now that I am a mom I have become worse! I really do try to take a deep breath and find my happy place, but either way I […]

There is an AMAZING sale going on at Krogers right now for the pillsbury simply cookies.  Although I love making my own cookies from scratch (really just so I can control the ingredients), I found these and am almost in love! It saves me some time in the kitchen and the ingredients aren’t too bad! […]

Zumba Baby

by Jennie November 9, 2010

I have always been “active” and have worked out off and on for years. I get into a good rhythm for a while and then fall off the wagon and so on and so on! Ever since my devastating news about my cholesterol, I have been trying to make it one of my main priorities […]

It’s That Time of Year Again

by Jennie October 13, 2010

Flu season is quickly approaching and my germaphobia (I know, it isn’t a real word….) is kicking in full gear. We need to protect our kids, but also ourselves! Remember, as much as we want to take care of everyone else (always before ourselves), we are no good to our family if we end up […]

Healthy Living: Deodorants!

by MHSjennie October 12, 2010

I’ve always been told that it is unhealthy to use the anti-perspirants on the market because they use aluminum to create a temporary block of your ducts. However, the thought of giving up my regular deodorant was something I just couldn’t bare! I didn’t think anything else would work and never thought twice about reaching for […]

Make Your Own Soft Scrub

by Jennie September 21, 2010

I talked about in a recent post that as my cleaners run out I am going to start making my own. I have been buying “natural” cleaners for years now. I have tried shaklee, method, seventh generation and melaleuca products. All of them work wonderfully and I have been worried that what I make myself […]

What’s Really In Our Plastics?

by MHSjennie September 14, 2010

  For all of you who really know me, know how anal I can be about things. One of those things has included what is really in our plastics. Years ago I remember reading an article about BPA and how bad it was for you. Then I read how reusing your plastic water bottles could […]
