Happy Solstice!

The Solstices and the Equinoxes are some of my favorite days of the year. With the beginning of Winter, I greatly appreciate that the days are now going to be getting longer again. I really don’t like it when it is dark so early (anything before 7PM is early for me). I [...]

We’ve recently been lucky enough to find keys in the Webkinz Fairy Forest. With the keys, we’ve actually been fortunate enough to get FIVE pixie pods! Amazing! Here are pics of our interesting finds.

Happy Birthday to my Dad!

Today is my Dad’s birthday. Since he is an avid runner I thought I’d recommend a few running things that he loves:
ChiRunning; There is the book and a DVD, both very interesting! Be sure to look over the website; they now have a ChiWalking section. It’s very Zen!

“What about essential Omega-3 fatty acids?”

“Don’t I need to eat fish so that my body can get the necessary Omega-3 fatty acids for my optimal health?”
Good question!
No. Humans do not need to eat animals — ever. Biologically and evolutionarily eating animals (even fish) is not necessary.

HappyCow.net — Finding Places to Eat

I recently came home from a trip to Sedona, AZ, and the Phoenix area of Arizona. I’ve discovered, as a vegan, that finding places to eat is often very difficult. Not so with HappyCow.net. HappyCow is a website that lists vegetarian, vegan, and vegetarian friendly restaurants and stores all over the world. [...]

Simple, Quick and Easy Paper Christmas Tree with Ornaments

Inspired by Steve Spangler’s Science “How to Make a Newspaper Tree” experiment, we used an old roll of green paper (was photography background paper, but wrapping paper — or even spray painted newspaper — would have worked better) to create a quick, easy, and portable Christmas tree.

Name Your Baby - Real, Stuffed, or Pet

Lately, several people have told my older daughter and myself that they love the names we’ve given our pets and/or our virtual (stuffed) animals. They’ve told us how clever we are and they wonder how we’ve been able to come up with the cool names we used. Well, we’re clever enough to [...]

Vegans and Vitamin B12

The most common questions I get regarding nutrition and veganism are about protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin B12. I’ve already written about the protein myth and I’ll write about Omega-3 fatty acids early next week. Today’s topic is Vitamin B12.
I’ve started writing about Vitamin B12 many times, but I’ve found that no [...]

Conscious Eating

When my husband and I made the conscious decision to Radically Unschool our children, we had no idea there would be so many hidden side benefits. I’ve been asked what some of these are, so I’m going to periodically write about one or another of them. I’ll start with my favorite: Healthy [...]

It’s been an exciting week for us in Webkinz World. Yesterday, I found the last gem that my youngest daughter needed in order to get her first Crown of Wonder! This makes the second crown for our family (here is my post from our first crown). I’ve been asked specifically what this [...]
