Last week's Wellness Wednesday post focused on organic produce. This week we're going to talk about another buzz topic. You've probably heard the three letters G-M-O tossed around a lot lately. I'm guessing you've probably heard them referred to in the negative, but a lot of people really don't know what they are and why they may or may not be unhealthy. What are GMO's? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It sounds kinda scary, like it's out of a Sci Fi movie, right? They actually are a little scary. It's important to know about GMO's because there are a number of plants that are genetically modified and they ...Read More

5 Essential Things You Need to Know About Organic Produce
It's June. It's finally warming up (a little bit) here in Michigan. The trees have leaves on them again and plants are growing. All of this growing plant life made me think this was the perfect month to focus on making healthier produce choices. This is a bigger topic than you would think. You've always heard you should eat your fruits and veggies, but there are some fruits and vegetables that give you more bang for your bucks. What about pesticides? Organic produce? GMO's? We're going to talk about all of that this month and hopefully you'll get some good ideas of which fruits and vegetables will have the quality, ...Read More
How to End the Battle of the Chores with Your Kids!
"I don't want toooooo!" "Why do I always have to..." "Are you going to make me do any more chores?" If it's not the whining and complaining, it's just that I simply forget. As a busy homeschooling mama of 4 little boys, I get so busy working on my own tasks I don't always think to assign tasks to my kids. I want my kids to be responsible and contribute to the work of the household. I find that when my kids know what's expected of them ahead of time, the complaining is greatly minimized. It makes sense. It's a lot easier for me when doing a task if I know what is expected of me. After the initial assembly of ...Read More
4 Secrets Every Person with a Corn Allergy Should Know
I've recently discovered 4 secrets that every person with a corn allergy should know about. Corn is insidious. No really, it is. Did you know it's in yogurt? Deli meat? Bacon? Sausage? Potato chips? Toothpaste? Juice? Salt? Yes, I'm now convinced that virtually anything that is not in a whole food form has added corn. Where does that leave someone who has tested positive for a corn food allergy? Oy! Little did I know just how difficult it would be when 3 out of 4 of us who were tested for food allergies would test positive for a corn allergy (I was the lucky one with no corn allergy). People think dairy is ...Read More
