Using What you Have..Our Baby Shower Craft Idea

Pin It


Part of  having a healthy hive in this house uses the motto "reduce, reuse, recycle".  That's probably why I love yard sales so much!
Most of you know that my sister is pregnant with twins..one of each.  At her baby shower we made a craft instead of playing a game.  We used what we had to make some really cute onsies.  We cut out fabric in shapes and used fabric glue to put them on.  The fabric came from my grandparent's basement and was my mamaw's from when she worked at the old Remnant Shop.  She saved everything so we had lots to choose from.  So, not only are they cute and resourceful..they have meaning.  The kids loved it to and they all made one too with our help.  They turned out great!

Chili Recipe Wins First Place


This is my sister-in-law, Tiffany, with a chili trophy in her hand.  She won a chili contest with my healthy recipe for clean eating chili!  Yah for Tiff!! See.... eating healthy and clean actually taste very good...actually BETTER than other junk foods!! The original recipe was given to me by my aunt and I just cleaned it up by using all clean ingredients.  I challenge you, if there is recipe you love, just clean it up.  If you don't know how, shoot me an email and I will be happy to help :D  Here is a link to the recipe..today would be a great day to try this chili since it's raining like cat's and dog's out there!!!

B's Tea's


All Queen's have tea time, right!?!  My new winter obsession is hot tea.  They are so good, warm me up, and help get my get that hard to get water in.  There are lots of great choices out there with a huge list of health benefits!!  I do drink caffeinated in the morning and... Yes, I have to drink decaf after lunch because I will be up on night now!  When did this happen!?!?  I am not anti caffeine ..but I do limit it to once a day.   Anyway...here are a few of my favorites and let me review their benefits at the end...

Stawberry Spinach Salad



I just got some really good strawberries at Ingles..finally!! Strawberries aren't the best in winter, but they are starting to get better now.  You can add some chicken to this and make it a meal!! Remember, strawberries are on the dirty dozen so it is one of those that does matter to buy organic .
