Do Life Right

With October being “Breast Cancer Awareness” month, I’ve been asked at just about every check-out counter I’ve been to whether I’d like to donate to breast cancer research or not. I’ve always said no and I’ve been made to feel like an ogre for this. I’m not. With Do Life Right, I am promoting a [...]

Part of the vegan lifestyle is to not purchase products that have been tested on animals or made from animals. My family also lives as “green” as possible, making our search for cleaning supplies even more challenging. I’m often asked what products we use for cleaning. I’ve tried out a variety of products, and I’ve [...]

Vision Boards and Vision Boxes are becoming very popular! They are similar to Wish Lists, yet significantly deeper. Vision Boards can encompass not only our material desires, but also our deepest and innermost wishes and dreams such as “more peace” or “a magical existence”. With The Law of Attraction and “The Secret” so popular, we’re [...]

Traveling with two children has made me realize that traveling LIGHT is much much better than traveling with everything imaginable. You never know when children just can’t take another step and you’ll need to carry them. Having your hands empty and ready to carry whatever comes your way is very handy. I like to keep [...]

I became a vegan over a period of about five years. First, I cut out beef, pork and exotic meats. Next, chicken and seafood. Finally, eggs and dairy and leather/silk goods. This was the order that I clearly needed to go through.
Was this good? No. My body didn’t appreciate it (and neither did [...]

I’ve been asked this question several times now, so here is my answer.
I believe that everyone should live in the place where they thrive the most. This physical place will absolutely not be the same for everyone, nor do we want it to be! That would just cause horrible overcrowding issues. However, if your surroundings [...]

My two daughters, ages 7 and 11, are vegan. They’ve both been vegetarians their whole lives and vegan for the last couple of years. I’m often poo-pooed in Unschooling circles, since many Unschoolers are Radical Unschoolers and believe that children should be allowed to eat what they want when they want it (and not forced [...]

We speak Webkinz-Ease in our house, that is how greatly Webkinz has embellished our lives.
The Webkinz world is entered by purchasing a cute and lovable stuffed animal made by Ganz that has a tag that contains a special secret code that activates a virtual pet that looks similar to your stuffed friend (my daughter reminds [...]

As we spent time piecing together what our perfect living environment was, we realized that we needed to think more organically. Our needs have changed over and over again through the years as we went from a young married couple, to a family with a baby, a family with a young child and a newborn, [...]

Hands down, our favorite shoes are Crocs.
I used to be a big fan of Birkenstocks with the Birko-Flor, but they are no longer made and are difficult to find. No matter, since as comfort goes, Crocs are superior in every way. Wearing them feels like you are walking on marshmallows. These are the only shoes [...]
