So for those of you new here you know I have zero sewing skills.

What do you get when you cross food with fun? Fun Bites! YES! The kids would also agree. We had a chance to try Funbites out and had a blast in doing so. My kids can be a little picky about foods(who's kids aren't). My little one has major issues with sandwiches and even my older ones can have a hard time. Thanks to Funbites we've had fun making sandwiches with them. Not only did we make

So if you are a cloth diapering mama or simply a mama that likes to save this is a simple & easy way to make your own Bum spray :) Ingredients: 1/2 Cup of Baby Oil 1 tea bag brewed in

Yesterday we had the opportunity to visit a local family owned farm. The first reason being because who wouldn't have a blast visiting a farm. The second reason was to buy some fresh eggs and Raw unpasteurized milk. Come again?Raw Unpasteurized milk? You bet ya! For years I've been reading up on the benefits of Raw Milk vs Unpasteurized as well as how all the amazing bacteria and vitamins that

Poppin' some fun!

noreply@blogger.com (Conservamom) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:08:21 PST

I had always been a microwave popcorn kinda gal until I began reading about all the dangerous stuff it has as well as all the bad stuff it's causing. Ever vigilant of our kids health(and ours of course) we began popping our own popcorn. It's so simple to do and so much fun (and of course cheaper)that it will quickly replace those crummy little bags of junk they try to pedal our way! Step

I am a mother of 3,who's daily life revolves around errands,laundry,child rearing,and every other possible hat that a mother could wear. How could I possibly take the time to make this world a better place? I've thought of this so many times. When I was younger I wanted to go to South America and help with the Catholic Missions there.

Crockpot Cuban Fricase de Pollo (Cuban Chicken Fricassée)

noreply@blogger.com (Conservamom) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:24:26 PST

This is *my* version of Cuban Fricase that I altered for the Crockpot, that I think even my Aba (grandmother) would have liked. Something interesting to point out with Cuban cooking and even Cuban culture in general is that it's not your typical Caribbean fare you would find say in Jamaica or Bahamas because a lot of Cuban cooking is influenced by both Spanish and French cultures. My Great
