A Sense of the Resurecction-30% off!

A Sense of the Resurrection: an Easter Experience for Families contains 12 fun, hands-on, easy, meaningful activities to help your kids come face to face with the Easter story.

Last year I introduced you to A Sense of the Resurrection, written by Amanda White.  I love the idea of sharing the Easter story with my children in a way that they can understand.  It can be a tough story to explain to young ones and I don't mind that someone has done the hard work for me ;)





Lent has begun already, but there is stil time to enjoy the activities provided by Amanda so that your children can focus on the season as it was intended, not just thinking about Easter Bunnies and Egg hunts.





Right now, you can get 30% off your order!!!

Teaching Gratitude This Holiday Season

Gratitude is a word that is often overlooked and taken for granted.  I know I moan a little when I hear it. Yes, I should have a grateful attitude, darn it.  It would make me feel better, you feel better, everyone feel better.  Why do I resist it like I do?  Do you resist gratitude?  What about your family? Your children?  

To read about how to teach gratitude this holiday season, go here...


Teaching Gratitude


I write a lot over at ChesterCounty-Pa.com and I wanted to share it with you as well.  I hope you enjoy!

Weekend Recap 10.20.14

This weekend was all about fall fun!  My daughter attended a birthday party with a dress-up theme and they enjoyed lots of Halloween fun.  Kudos to the Mama who pulled off this party! The Witches Brew was a hit!

The older kids had a sleep over with my parents and went on their (now annual) pumpkin picking adventure.  When we rejoined them for dinner on Sunday they had lots to share including a baby pumpkin for  their little brother which he adored <3



This won't be it for the fall festivities.  I hope to take the kids on a pumpkin picking trip all together this coming weekend at our favorite orchard and get some more apples for more applesauce.  We have plans for a Barbie Pumpkin, a Pokemon Pumpkin and a Mickey Mouse Pumpkin - all for the kids (Daddy) to make.



These pictures are what we are using as our inspiration;)  I would link to where these pictures are from, but when I did a search for what we wanted, the pictures are on Facebook statuses or Tumblr accounts with no trackbacks.  Google "Barbie Pumpkin with Glitter," Pokemon Pumpkin," ( the artist is Johwee) and "Mickey Mouse Painted Pumpkin."

Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving and we will be talking about Christmas!  What are your plans to celebrate the harvest time?

4th of July Fun

I know that I am in the middle of my "How I Became a Blogger" series.  In retrospect, I probably should have waited to start that after the 4th of July because I have other things that I need to share before the holiday.  Don't worry, I didn't forget and I really didn't intend on leaving you hanging!

You can visit the first two posts in the series and I will get right back on it next week!

How I Became a Blogger {Part One}  My desire to be a Work at Home Mom and how I desperate I was to stay at home with Princess when she was born...
How I Became a Blogger {Part 2}  Starting my blog, it's changes over the course of it's first two years and losing my entire body of work to hackers.

Since we are coming up on the 4th, I wanted to quickly point you to my 4th of July board on Pinterest:



LOTS of vegetarian BBQ ideas along with some traditional picnic foods and some craft and entertainment ideas for all of the Red, White and Blue holidays.

If you live in the Chester County Area, check out my post over on Local Girl with the Fireworks schedule for July and August :)



lastly, one of my very favorite things to do as a kid on the 4th of July was play with sparklers.  We would get together with family for a picnic, my Dad and Grandfather would set off small fireworks in the back yard and my siblings and cousins would go through pack after pack of sparklers "writing" in the sky.  We knew how to use them properly and never got burnt, but I saw this idea on I Love 2 Dream, Do You?  and I thought it was genius!  I have little guys, so safety is on my mind.  But I still want them to enjoy the same things that I did.  This makes me feel so much more comfortable letting them experiment:


I will be posting tomorrow with my new line up.  I have made some changes to what posts go where during the week so that things make more sense.  However, it will not be related to the holiday.


Have fun, stay safe and have a wonderful 4th of July!

The Ultimate VEGGIE Memorial Day Menu

My daughter is thrilled because this weekend is the unofficial start to Summer.  She wants it "hot and sweaty" she says.  This is not something we share.  The spring has been pretty mild so far and (besides the seasonal allergies) it's been pleasant.  However, I am already looking forward to late Fall.

Last year I posted The Ultimate Memorial Day Menu and it seemed to go over well.  I have obviously changed my views on food and gained many new readers that share my passion for a Plant Based Lifestyle, so this year I am sharing
