5 Easy Ways to Reduce your Sugar Intake!

5 EASY Ways to Reduce Your Sugar Intake!

Tricks great for parents and children!

Yesterday, I started an article with the old Mary Poppins saying " just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" and it REALLY got me thinking about just how many "spoonfuls" of sugar we were eating everday before I started our "fit family challenge". We recently have gone to almost ZERO prepackaged foods, eat almost all organic, and swapped our sugary snacks for healthier items. In the beginning, I was stunned to find that sugar is hidden almost everywhere you look- even when you think you are making the smarter choice! Check out the label on the next "fat free" product you buy. Sugar is technically "fat-free" therefore is used in huge amounts to flavor these "diet" items even though it converts to fat once in the body. The scarier thing about sugar is that it is extremely addictive (trust me I know) and a habit passed on to our children through our actions and choices....yikes.

5 ways to get your kids to drink more water

5 Ways to Get Your Kids To Drink More Water....and me too!

Wasn't it Mary Poppins who said "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down"? In my house, we have taken that to extremes! Luckily, my children are addicted to fruit juice but even most fruit juices are loaded with sugar and still not the same as water. Come to think of it, I am probably the worst one in my house when it comes to what I drink. I am a soda "Junkie"- Not an addict, a literal junkie. Yes, I have read and studied all of the reasons why diet soda is bad for us and have decided that my precious silver can is worth the risk. When I run out, I even hold my empty can so I don't go through separation anxiety...... Okay, its not that bad but you get the idea. I have been attacking what we eat with a vengeance and have neglected to focus on the liquids we put into our bodies- so the journey starts today.

Make Money with an Online Garage Sale!

Don't Wait for Spring to Make Extra Cash! Have a Garage Sale Online!

I am certain that most of you have seen the movie.."A Christmas Story", if you have -you will certainly remember how young Ralphie loved and talked endlessly about a Red Rider BB Gun. This is the same way that I talk about garage sales and junk. My husband calls it an addiction or an illness. He even repeats a mantra when I decide not to trash something but to save it for a future project or for an online sale. I heard him just the other day "I must remember it is an addiction, I must remember it is an addiction..." This mantra is from the same guy who has no issues spending my Ebay money....but that's a new topic, I digress. I think my "addiction" to selling my junk started at a very young age along with my addiction to sweets....

5 Natural Headache Remedies

Quit collecting bottles!

It is reported that over 12 million Americans endure chronic headaches — meaning they have headaches more than 15 days out of every month. I am one of these sad people.
There is nothing more frustrating than grabbing for your bottle of over-the-counter headache medicine and finding an empty bottle. What's worse is when you are wincing in pain and you continue your search through the medicine cabinet and again come up empty handed. You are out of Excedrin, aspirin, ibuprofen, EVERYTHING! This means you must jump in the car and drive in the bright sunlight while holding your aching head. Then, you must listen to the loud speaker, the bleeping registers, and other various noises that pierce your cranium at the grocery to simply get 1 fabulous bottle of relief. This recently happened to me. My failed search turned up 4 empty bottles of headache medicine. This prompted me to wonder "can taking this much medicine be good for me"? My vote is probably not. So, what is a person who is trying to love a more "green" / "all-natural" lifestyle to do? I went on a new hunt....A hunt for all natural headache remedies.

Which is Better "All Natural" or "Organic"?

The "All Natural" vs. "Organic" Debate.....

Are you clear on the Differences?

Over the past few years, companies have recognized the growing need for "Healthier" foods and seem to have responded to the call. Nowadays, you can stroll down your grocery aisles and find the terms Natural and Organic slapped on every jar, bag, box, and bottle. Do you really know and understand the differences in these terms? I recently stood in an aisle for over 5 minutes debating on which chicken to buy for my family. One was labeled "All-Natural" and the other was "Organic". Both options sounded healthy but if they were the same then there wouldn't be two different labels, right? So I whipped out my trusty "smartphone" and googled it right there in the aisle!

Healthy Homemade Cinnamon Bread Recipe

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Bread Recipe

YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

 

I have been on a recent mission to make as many of my families foods as I can from scratch. When I began on my mission, I found that most recipes called for pounds of butter, tons of sugar, lard, and many of other items that I was trying to eliminate from my diet. So, I buckled down and began altering recipes to make them what I was looking for- Healthy variations of my favorites.

So many people think that eating healthy or all-natural has to be boring and that is entirely not true! There is nothing boring about this Cinnamon Bread Recipe!

Homemade "Green Cleaning Supplies" - Make your own Febreeze

Make Your Own Green Cleaning Supplies-- All Natural Homemade Febreze

Hello, My name is HEATHER..... and I am an addict. You can insert your own - "hello Heather" response if you wish. I am more embarrassed to tell you what I am addicted to then I am to admit it to myself....I am addicted to making my own cleaning supplies. I have never been to an addicts meeting, but fear that I am getting very close to attending. My addiction to making my own cleaning products started with a little water and vinegar and now has come its fruition. I make my own laundry detergent, my own dishwashing detergent, window cleaner, floor cleaner, and now even my own homemade "Febreze". This all started as a way to save money and has now spiraled out of control. My husband was extremely annoyed at first and begged me to just purchase the ready made items but as more and more of these all natural concoctions worked....he began asking for the recipes. He won't admit he was wrong but he will ask for a refill of the bottle and that is enough for me. I don't only do it to save money and to reduce the amount of chemicals my family is exposed to...I do it to feed my addiction for being active in both.

Make Money at the Grocery with Endorse, Ibotta, and Savingstar!

Making Money While Shopping at the Grocery is easier than you think!

Try Endorse, Savingstar, and Ibotta!

I am an avid couponer (I prefer avid to CRAZY) and have become a little discouraged at the recent changing of coupon rules at my local grocery store. Now I can use only 6 per manufacturer-even if its a different product, only so many total coupons, NOTHING is allowed to be free.....Stop the insanity!

So, what does a cheapskate do to combat the coupon madness....I found ways to actually MAKE not just save money while at the Grocery. I have found several programs that I will share that do not save you any money--they put CASH into your bank account when you purchase specific items.  They work in very much the same way as digital coupons AND you can certainly use all 3 in combination with your checkout coupons!

Make Money In Your Pantry!

Make money from home...In your pantry! Great tip for college kids, parents,and anyone looking for some extra cash!

For all of my adult life, I have been a management professional. Each day, I was responsible for driving, sales, controlling costs, and delivering on profit. So..when I made the decision to be a "work from home" parent...I immediately started finding ways to do these things within my four walls! Much to the chagrin of my husband, I have looked into and even tried some pretty strange things to make a few extra dollars at home. In this case, I happened upon a site that actually did provide some "income" and was pretty easily done. There was no cost to get started, no strings attached, and required little time. The best part of the whole deal was that it was done using the items in my refrigerator and pantry.
