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.

Easy ways kids can help in the kitchen

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...]

Easy, Eco-Friendly Camping Tips

  This is Day 207 of the Green in 365 series! Guest Post by Amanda of Ninth Street Notions: Camping is one of my family's favorite activities. We go often, and over the years Erik and I have been together, we've slowly been trying to transform our camping style. Once a year, we go on a big camping trip with about 100 of our friends, and it amazes me how different other people camp. This year I was shocked at what was produced by our campsite. The average family produced way … [Read more...]

How Real Food and Green Living are Connected {Green in 365: The Kitchen}

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

how green living and real food are connected

  This is Day 56 of the Green in 365 series! Some of us may have started our green living journeys by making changes to our cleaning or personal care products, while some of us may have started by switching to real food and now are moving to other areas of green living. Either way, I have learned over the last few years that choosing real food and being intentional about green living are interrelated. I'm over at Keeper of the Home today (where I am a regular contributing … [Read more...]

Guest Post by Sara Elizabeth of A Mama's Story: *A note from Emily: I'm thankful to have Sara Elizabeth sharing some of her experience with Postpartum Depression and how to help a mama you may know who is struggling.

disinfecting cloth diapers after yeast

Guest Post by Erin Odom of The Humbled Homemaker *A note from Emily: I am so grateful to have this guest post from Erin. Blair had a yeast rash when she was about a week old and I didn't realize what it was at first. After asking for some advice on Facebook, several people responded that it could be a yeast infection. I had been using cloth on her because I thought that would help clear up the rash (usually true, but not with yeast), and so I had to disinfect my diapers before I could put them … [Read more...]

At Simple Homemade: Using Cloth Wipes

July 18, 2012 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

I'm over at Simple Homemade today talking about using cloth wipes for your little one's bum, and also sharing a homemade wipe solution. From the post: I‘m here to let you in on a little parenting secret I’ve discovered. Do you want to get rid of those really disgusting diaper changes? The ones that seem to use half a box of wipes to clean up because – well, I won’t go into that, because if you’re a parent then you definitely know what I’m talking about. While I can’t change what shows up in … [Read more...]

Guest Post: Cloth Diapers — First on My “Will Do Better Next Time” List

July 13, 2012 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

I'm planning to post much more about cloth diapers this time around, but first, a guest post and one mama's experience of making the switch from disposables to cloth diapers. I'm thankful to have Dara Herman from daraclaire.com guest posting today! My mind began a checklist, when I saw the two pink lines, of all the things I would do better and different with baby number two on the way. I felt I had done a decent job with my first, impressing my family and friends by using only all … [Read more...]

I read a guest post of Sarah's on my friend Christina's blog last week, and I just knew that I needed to support Ask5for5 in any way that I could.  I emailed Sarah and she will be guest posting later in September, but she also asked if I would be willing to share her guest post with you this week.  This is such an important issue and I hope you will read, be moved, give, and share Sarah's message with others!
