I grew up in a small town, the daughter of a small business owner. All my life, I’ve felt in a very real way the impact of local community support, small businesses, and local economies. My town is flanked by two larger communities 45 minutes to the north and south. They have Walmarts, Kmarts, and [...]

Pollan’s Food Rules Now has Illustrated Version {REVIEW}
November 22nd, 2011 · 13 Comments · What to Buy
Did you know that when McDonald’s was founded, a 7 oz. cup was the only size of soda (or "pop" as we say here in Michigan)? For real. Now the "small" is 16 ounces and the large is a whopping 32 ounces, one full quart of sugary nothingness. I think that epitomizes what is wrong [...]
Less Waste at Lunch with My Little Green Shop{GIVEAWAY} – CLOSED

I feel guilty nowadays if I use a plastic baggie to pack a lunch. At the very least, I try to make sure it gets used multiple times, as I detailed in this green lunch packing post. I’ve had a handful of different reusable sandwich bags since last year, and they’ve gotten a TON of [...]

Natural Sunscreen Updates on Last Year’s 28
July 21st, 2011 · 30 Comments · Natural Health, What to Buy
We’re still doing half and half sunscreens over here. My son was so used to having two sunscreens (sunblocks!) on his body, one on the left and one on the right, for the natural sunscreen reviews last summer, that he practically does that anyway out of habit. I have a whole shoebox full of new [...]

No Time to Soak Your Own?

JoshEWEa’s Garden can help. Although I usually talk about super frugal, do-it-yourself type methods here at Kitchen Stewardship, the fourth pillar of Kitchen Stewardship is the good use of one’s time. If you’re not spending time with the family you’re feeding so well, you need to re-prioritize and figure out where to make some cuts. [...]

One More Way to Get Your Liver and Omega-3s {REVIEW}
March 11th, 2011 · 10 Comments · What to Buy
Although I write about many Nourishing Traditions techniques, I certainly don’t agree with everything in the book. I like to cross check research and make my own decisions. I’ll leave my total allegiance for my Church… In that light, I have a lot of appreciation for a company like Radiant Life, who supports Nourishing Traditions [...]
