Finding A Refreshing Snack Alternative in Chunk O’ Fruti Fruit Bars #FreshNFruti #Cbias

April 21, 2013 by Maria

The following is a sponsored post. As always, all opinions are my own. As our school aged children (ages 8 & almost 13 yrs old) get older, I'm finding that they are starting to make their own food choices outside of my home. Whether it's at school, at friend's house, or at local events I have to trust that they are going to make the "right" choice. But choosing healthy snacks isn't always easy. We love fruit in my home. Seriously, I haven't met a fruit my son won't eat, but I generally Continue Reading

Stepping Into Springtime with BIGELOW Tea #AmericasTea

April 14, 2013 by Maria

It's funny how certain seasons triggers specific emotions & memories I had as a child. My grandmother would spend several hours a day in the spring & summer months tending to her large garden. I benefited from the harvest, but I also grew a love for gardening and to this day have a large vegetable garden every springtime. One thing I clearly remembered was my grandmother coming inside on a hot day to enjoy a glass of iced tea. She had boxes of tea on the counter from herbal tea, Continue Reading

Entertaining With a Purpose: Macy’s Heart of Haiti Collection

February 21, 2013 by Maria

I was 11 years old when I made my first Thanksgiving Dinner. Strange for an 11 year old? Not for me. I have always loved to entertain, even as an eleven year old. So it is no shock that home decor and creating new recipes is on my list of hobbies. I am no stranger to Macy's Department Store. Recently you may have noticed my posts surrounding Macy's Culinary Council Cooking Demo Events in the New Orleans area. Every time I get a new email letting me know of an upcoming event, I am instantly on Continue Reading

Keeping Our Babies Happy & Healthy #RSVprotection

February 19, 2013 by Maria

Being a mother to 2 school aged children & working full-time in healthcare, I am constantly reminded of germs. Like most mothers, I do everything I can do protect my children (as well as other children) by being extremely cautious every cold & flu season. But my school aged children & myself have a very strong immune system? Well, that doesn't matter. I'm protecting my family so that I can protect other children from getting sick and spreading viruses, bacteria and other infection Continue Reading

Building a Hen House- Stage 1

Building a Hen House- Stage 1

  Over the past year one of the things my husband & I wanted to start was a chicken coop. Living outside the New Orleans area is such a gift. We are in close proximity to everything New Orleans has to offer our family: music, culture, art, history and more. But along with the city life, we enjoy our small town living. Since we have almost 2 acres of land, we are fortunate enough to have a large garden every summer and now, the opportunity to have chickens. Why Continue Reading

Green Works: Being Green is for Everyone #YouDontHaveToBe #GreenHousewives

January 31, 2013 by Maria

Over the years, many consumers have realized that being "Green" is the smart solution for our environment in order to prosper and grow. We have made it a trend. Trends are good right? Well, not necessarily. We have become "eco-exclusive". By that I mean, we have added pressure on others to do more by reminding them that we go over & beyond in our eco-friendly mission. In a new survey, fifty-one percent of respondents said “green is the new black.” Being eco-friendly is fantastic and Continue Reading

Homemade DIY Dishwasher Detergent & Rinse Aid- #Frugal

January 3, 2013 by Maria

One of my favorite household stockpile items is dishwasher tabs/liquid. Over the last few years I have been able to score boxes of dishwasher liquid/tabs for around 50 bents a box. Those deals are now few & far between. I have said in the past that as soon as I use all my dishwasher tabs/liquid I will start making my own. The barrel has dried and thus..... I shall make my own to save my family money. I have spent the last month perfecting this recipe to suit my own needs. It's not rocket Continue Reading
