Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

The ground here is already covered with snow, which definitely puts me in the Christmas mood! For a peek behind the scenes of Live Renewed, you can follow along with me on Instagram! You've probably noticed that it's been a little quiet around here recently. I haven't posted much since July! This break has been intentional. I took a break from blogging in July to enjoy the summer with my kids and go on vacation with my family. But then that break extended into August when we got back from … [Read more...]

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Real Life: I'm not a perfect homemaker. My house is a mess. A lot. Right now dirty dishes sit on the kitchen counter waiting for me to empty the dishwasher, my floor is scattered with stuff that needs to be swept up, the sink in my bathroom probably could use a good scrubbing, I'm at least a few loads of laundry behind, and I don't know what we're having for dinner. I'm not a perfect homemaker. And it's okay. You know why? Because I am trying. I'm doing the best I can do with the … [Read more...]

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

My eBook Green Your Life is officially on sale today! I'm so, so excited to share this book with you. In 2007 I was brand new to green and natural living, I was just beginning my journey, making small baby steps as I found new information and learned about different things. In the following days, months, and years, I couldn't get new information fast enough - as soon as I made one change, I wanted to make another, and another. But often, I would have no idea what to do next and … [Read more...]

Saving Time in The Kitchen (With Kids)!

November 26, 2013 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Young kids in the kitchen and saving time in the kitchen are not two things that you usually see together in the same sentence, right?! I'll be the first to raise my hand and admit that when my kids are in the kitchen with me that we often waste more time than save. And yet, over the past six months or so, I've really begun to see that with a little teaching, help, direction and then ongoing supervision (while I'm accomplishing other things!), my kids can actually help me with tasks in a … [Read more...]

Do you ever wish that you had someone (or several someone's) that you could go to with all your questions about green, natural and healthy living?

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

You may have noticed it's been a bit quiet around here recently, at least from me personally. We've had some great guest posts, the regular awesome contributors to the Green in 365 series, and fun interviews with some of my favorite green bloggers, but I haven't been writing much here recently. That doesn't mean I haven't been writing at all, and I have a few great posts to share with you, as well as an exciting announcement! Are the couple hours before dinner time a little … [Read more...]
