I want to start a new monthly feature here on Live Renewed highlighting homemade or handmade products, but I’m having a hard time deciding where to start.  I already make a lot of things at home, and I’m lacking inspiration for what I should tackle next.

So, I thought I’d turn to you – my wonderfully resourceful readers, and find out what your favorite thing is to make homemade. This could be a food product, a crafty type of thing, or cleaning or beauty product, I want to hear about them all!

I’d also love it, if you’ve blogged about your favorite homemade product, if you would leave the link to your post in your comments. I’m looking for all the inspiration I can get!

So, what is your favorite item or product that you make at home?

Your Green Resource — Week 21 is a post from: Live Renewed
Join Live Renewed on Facebook or follow me on Twitter

This is us in 2006 — Before kids!

Today is the day of love, and also the day of hubs and my first kiss 11 years ago! (Cheesy, I know, but what can you do?)  So, in honor of that, we thought we’d share another She Said, He Said post with you!

I talked last month about how this journey that our family is on toward more natural and simple living is not one that my husband probably would have chosen for us. Although I’ve been more of the driving force behind the change, he’s always been a pretty good sport about it. And if you would have told me four years ago that this is what our life would look like today, I probably would have laughed at you, but now that we’re here, I can’t imagine living any other way, and I really love all of the green changes we have made.

Here’s just a few reasons why.

She Said — Why I Love the Green Changes We Have Made

It’s Fun!

I know it probably sounds weird, but I really think that learning more about green and natural living, and trying out new things until I find what works best for me and my family, is fun! I guess it’s mostly because that gives me something new to learn about, and I’ve always loved learning new things. I think life would be boring if I wasn’t always learning and discovering new things, what would I do with myself?

It Makes Me Less Materialistic

I’ve always been one of those people who wanted the next best thing. I used to try to follow trends (quite unsuccessfully!), get the next best beauty product, and generally try to keep up with the Joneses. Living a greener and simpler life has given me freedom from always comparing myself to other people around me (except for those who I think are greener than me!).  In some ways I still chase the next best thing – because I’m always trying new green things, or trying to find ways to do things more naturally and simply – but it just looks so much different for me now, and my motivation for doing it is not because I’m trying to keep up with someone else.

It Saves Us Money

I know lots of people have the impression that going green will cost a lot of money, but I’m (obviously) such a firm believer that this does not necessarily have to be true. It really does depend on the choices you make, and I love that the changes we have made have truly saved us lots of money. Now I just wish that we had more of that money to show for it! (Things continue to be tight financially around here for us.) But, I really can’t imagine where we would be, or how we would have made it, without making these changes over the past few years.

When I think about the life that we live now, compared to the life that we were living just a few years ago, it really is amazing to me. And I am so glad, and so thankful, for this journey and all that we have learned along the way.

First Time Daddy - She is the one who started it all!

He Said

Happy valentines day, wife!  11 years ago I worked my mojo and the rest is history. Not sure if that is how it actually happened, but let’s go with it. Little did you know that just a little over a decade later I would have half as much hair, weigh that same amount if you added a toddler to the scale too, and still annoy you with my inability to maintain any sort of schedule.  Love is blind to many things.  Thankfully, you have hung in there and keep laughing at my stupid jokes, because I am in no shape, and have no desire, to do any of this without you.

So here is my take on your love list for green changes.

It’s Fun!

These changes and experiments you have led the family on make life interesting. Not sure I would always say it’s fun though.  I certainly never thought I would need a cloth diaper degree to figure out how to attach all those different sorts of contraptions to the booty of a kid. And it is never a good thing to ask a dad to pin anything to cloth in the vicinity of a young child.  It’s just not.

But all in all, being married to a living, breathing, and very sexy (his words!) scientist who likes to experiment with all different kinds of cooking, cleaning, and home based green/natural living projects has been fun and life changing for us all.  If this was fourth grade you would get a blue ribbon. Since it is Valentines day I’ll just give you a kiss.

It Makes You Less Materialistic

This has been the coolest part of being on the journey for me. You and I have both been caught up in the ladder climbing envy challenge over the years. By making these changes for reasons you and I both believe in, and can get excited about, has really made the old versions of us look a lot different in retrospect. I guess that’s all part of the general growth in a marriage, or relationship, or life in general.

Being simple, or trying to keep things simple, and basic, and less cluttered has grown us both.  I guess next you’ll want to have a baby at home in our room and change forever how I look at our bed…oh wait, that is the plan for this next one isn’t it?  Wow, things have changed over the years!

It Saves us Money

I certainly know that the changes made have saved some serious money. But, like everything else there is a learning curve and initial investment required. We now have a library, both in print and digital format, of books and e-books, that could keep a speed reader busy for a few months. We also have some failed experiments that have paved the way to some simple changes made today.  And at times you do have a tendency towards biting off a bit more than is humanly possible to chew.

I can specifically point to some knitting books, and “project” tools, hidden in closets that have been rather lonely since making an appearance in our house. We’ll count those as investments into the future. When the kids are in high school you can embarrass them with Christmas sweaters knit from the fur taken from the Alpacas you got us to raise in the yard or something. If you already knit them stuff now, it wouldn’t be as funny then.

Love you, wife!

Do you see why I love this man? I must say I’m a pretty lucky girl! Love you too, hubs!

Why do you love the green changes you’ve made in your home and family life? How does your spouse feel about them?

Whether this is your first pregnancy, your third (like me!), or your sixth, I really believe that it is important to read books about pregnancy, birth, nursing, and babies to help prepare your mind, your body, and your heart for your new little bundle of joy.

Of course, I had much more time to read during my first pregnancy then I do now, and in some ways I kind of feel like: Been there, done that, and that there is not much new that I can learn about being pregnant. But, the truth is that it’s been three years since I was last pregnant, and had a newborn, so I know I could use a little refreshing.

As I shared last week in my inspirations post, I’ve been reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, and after I wrote that post, I was thinking about other good pregnancy books that I’ve read and would recommend (I seem to be on a book kick here lately, but hey, I love to read!)

My Recommended Pregnancy Reading List

• Empowered Pregnancy: The Ten Most Important Things to Know in Pregnancy — I read this book during my first pregnancy, I checked it out from the library. What I remember about it is that this book first inspired me to choose a natural birth and try to avoid the common interventions of hospital birth as much as I could.  This book taught me that I was in control of my pregnancy and birth, not the doctors, or the nurses, or the hospital.

If this is your first pregnancy and you are still warming up to the idea of having a natural birth, or if you’ve had interventions in past births that you would like to avoid in the future, this is a great book to start with.

• The Official Lamaze Guide: Giving Birth With Confidence — I also read this book during my first pregnancy, and it further helped me to believe that I could achieve the natural birth that I wanted. It’s not specifically about the Lamaze method of birthing, in fact, I don’t think it really talks about that at all. It is just about having a natural, normal birth, and how a woman’s body is designed to give birth without all of the interventions that are so prevalent today.

• The Birth Book - Another great book about natural birth with lots of helpful information about the stages of labor and managing birth naturally.  This is a good book to read in the final weeks before your due date to get yourself mentally ready for the work of labor and birth.

• Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth – I have to mention this on again, of course! I think this has been the perfect book for me to read during my third pregnancy, just reminding me why I choose to give birth naturally, and encouraging me that I can do it, again!
But, I think it is an important book for any pregnant mama to read!

• The Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy – I read this book during my first pregnancy, and while it doesn’t necessarily promote natural birth, I really enjoyed reading this book the first time around because it made me laugh and feel like someone else understood what I was going through. I haven’t cracked it open during my subsequent pregnancies, but if this is your first pregnancy, this book uses humor to help you realize that what you’re experiencing is normal, and that lots of other women have been right there with you.

• Real Food for Mother and Baby – I talked about this book in my healthy eating during pregnancy post, so head over there to read more, but basically I really enjoyed this book’s approach to pregnancy nutrition, and I’m sure I’ll refer to it as a nursing mama, and again when we’re ready to introduce solids.

Getting Ready for Baby

While I obviously think it’s important to read books about pregnancy and birth, I also think it’s really important to read some books about what to expect after the baby arrives. This nine month journey culminates with a newborn baby to love and care for, and you don’t want to spend so much time reading about the pregnancy and birth that you look at your new baby and wonder, Now what?

You’ll probably have more time to read before the baby arrives than after, so use that time to prepare for welcoming this new little one into your family.

• The Baby Book – This is one of the most comprehensive books about baby care that I have seen. It is written from an attachment parenting perspective, which our family tries to follow, but it’s also important to remember that no book is the absolute ultimate authority on parenting and raising a baby.

• The Breastfeeding Book – I think it’s also important to read about breastfeeding before your baby arrives so that you at least have some head knowledge to help you in those early days of establishing your breastfeeding relationship, which definitely can be difficult for some moms and babies. This book is an excellent resource.

• Raising Baby Green – I’m reading this for the first time this pregnancy and enjoying it. It’s a practical guide for going green and non-toxic throughout your pregnancy, birth, and bringing your baby home. I really appreciate how it talks about options for greener birth choices – something I haven’t seen or read elsewhere.

To Watch:

The Business of Being Born – I just have to include this documentary because I think that it is so important for pregnant women to watch. Even if you are not interested in having a homebirth, it’s really important to understand and acknowledge the way that hospital births usually happen, and how intentional you have to be if you want to have a truly natural and normal birth in the hospital (it is possible, I’ve done it twice, but especially the first time around, I know I was going against the system). It’s on Netflix, so that is a great way to way to watch it if you have Netflix streaming.

Those are the books I’ve read and enjoyed about pregnancy, birth, and babies. I realize I didn’t include a general pregnancy information book, but I don’t think I’ve read one that I would really recommend. (What to Expect When You’re Expecting is a popular one, but it was kind of way too much information for me. I’m sure The Pregnancy Book from the Sears Family would be a good resource, but I haven’t read it myself.)

I’d love to hear what pregnancy and birth books you’ve read and would recommend!

Your Green Resource — Week 20 is a post from: Live Renewed

It’s the first Monday of the month, and I want to get back to posting in the Simple Steps series. Simple Steps is all about making a quick and easy change that  will help you to go a little greener, and save money at the same time, without too much extra energy or effort on your part. We’re all about baby steps here!

Here are some of the past posts in the Simple Steps series:

• An Easy Step to Conserve Water
• Turn Down Your Thermostat 
• Declutter Around Your House
• Make Recycling Easy for Your Family  

Yes, this is my fridge as of this morning. Too full!

So, this month’s Simple Step is — Clean Out Your Refrigerator!

And it’s as much for me as it is for you.

I read a post on Small Notebook a while back that has been lingering in my mind since - The Fridge that Cleans Itself.

We have a small fridge, it is one of the older kinds with the freezer on the top, and it has deep and low shelves that are hard to see things on, so stuff easily gets stuck out of sight and goes bad and gets wasted. I really hate wasting food, but it happens way too often at our house.

So, I love this idea of only keeping what is fresh and we are going to eat for the week in the fridge. So this week, I want to clean out my fridge, and get to this point where my the contents of my fridge are simple and easy to see, so we can actually see, and use, and eat what’s in there.

Why It’s Important

This Simple Step is important because it will help me to use wisely and save the food resources that we have, and it will also help me to save money by not wasting food. A study found that American’s lose as much $600 per year on wasted food. That is a lot of money that could be put into savings, or spent in another way.

Do you find yourself wasting more food that you would like because it gets lost in your fridge?  Take the Simple Step this week to clean out your fridge and keep it clean and simplified so you can use and eat all of the food that buy – saving money and saving the planet at the same time!

Bonus Step: You might want to declutter and clean the front of your fridge while you’re at it, if you have a little extra time. It’s a step that really only takes a few minutes, but can make your kitchen look so much more clean and un-cluttered.

Will you take the Simple Step to clean out your fridge to save yourself money and food resources this week?

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. We don’t go crazy celebrating holidays around here, mostly because of my un-craftiness, but I am planning to make Valentines with my kiddos this weekend for my daughter to hand out in her class.

I wanted something that didn’t create too much waste, and didn’t include candy. I saw these cute heart shaped melted crayon Valentine’s last year and wanted to make them with my kids, but could never find a mold that would work. Finally, my friend Christianne at Little Page Turners made some and said she used a mold from Target Dollar Spot. Perfect! Went there yesterday to pick one up, and got the last one in the bin! So, hopefully they’ll work and we’ll have a fun time making Valentine’s together this weekend!

Here’s the posts I enjoyed this week:

Color My World Melted Crayon Valentine’s and Free Printable from Little Page Turners

Toilet Paper Roll Valentine Stamps from Rust and Sunshine – these are super cute and easy too!

How to Plan a Snow Picnic from Simple Bites – love this idea, if we had any snow on the ground (can’t believe I’m saying that!)

How I Stock My Natural Medicine Cabinet from Keeper of the Home – Such a great resource!

The Dangers of Artificial Sweeteners — Are They Safe for Kids? from Kitchen Stewardship – I love all the research Katie puts into here posts (because then I don’t have to do it!) And this one if full of important information about artificial sweeteners.

What I’ve Been Babbling About

• February Challenge: No TV Month 
• 18 Awesome Homemade Toys for Kids
• Choose the Path of Least Resistance 
• A Sneaky Way to Get Your Toddler To Eat Spinach
• 25 Fun and Frugal Indoor Activities for Kids 
• The 8 Most Annoying Things My Toddler “Plays” With

I hope you have a great Green Weekend!

Green Your Weekend — 2.11.12 is a post from: Live Renewed
Join Live Renewed on Facebook or follow me on Twitter

We haven't had much of a winter wonderland this year!

So, it’s been a long while since I’ve done an inspiration post, probably because through much of the fall and my first trimester of pregnancy, I really wasn’t inspired by anything! (Except for maybe sleeping!)

Anyway, I thought to go along with my goals for the month, I’d share some of my inspirations lately as well too.

Our weather this winter has been so weird, and relatively mild, so I really can’t complain about being sick of winter or ready for spring. I am ready to see the sun more, but even that I can’t complain about too much, it’s been much more sunny this year than usual, and I really need to make an effort to get outside more with my kids, while the weather cooperates!

What I’m Reading

I talked about this a little on Wednesday, but in addition to 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, I’ve also been reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth.

A wonderful lady from my Bible Study loaned this book to me, and it is so, so good. My husband and I just decided that we are going to try for a homebirth with this baby, and this book was one of the main inspirations for me believing that I can, and want, to have my baby at home. I think every pregnant mama should read this book and realize the amazing way that God made our bodies, and the true potential that we have to give birth naturally!

I also picked up a few books from my Green Living Book List from the library to browse through, as you can see in the picture.

What I’m Listening To

Have you guys checked out Spotify yet? I’m still learning about all that it offers, but let me just say that it is so amazing! It’s basically like having the entire iTunes library available to listen to, for FREE! 

You can search for artists, albums, or genres that you like and listen to any and all of the music they have (which is pretty much everything) as much as you want, whenever you want. You can also discover new music by following other people’s playlists and by seeing what your friends are listening to.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with Florence + The Machine, and Mat Kearney, and my daughter loves that we can listen to all of the Disney Princess music!

In the Kitchen

Pinterest continues to be a main source of new food inspiration for me. (If you haven’t joined yet, you need to!) From meal ideas, to snacks and treats, to hot, and cold, drinks, I have found so much good stuff on there.

Some of my favorites recently:

• Fresh Lime Soda
• Blueberry Multigrain Pancakes
• Avocado Grilled Cheese
• Pioneer Women’s Broccoli Cheese Soup
• Chicken, Black Bean, and Rice Bake
• And I put together this list of 15 Healthy Homemade Snacks you, and your kids, will love, from ideas I found on Pinterest!

Around the House

We are having some sleeping issues at our home lately, and in a effort to remedy that, and help our kids learn to sleep better before Baby #3 arrives, we’re planning to do a major rearranging of two of our rooms this weekend.

We’re going to move our kids beds from upstairs, to our second bedroom on the main floor, which is currently our office/guest room/toy room. That room has always been my nemesis because I cannot seem to keep it organized (I think it’s because it has too many functions for such a small room), so a major overhaul is in order! We’ll see how it goes.

But, I’m definitely being inspired by all of these toy organization ideas that I found on Pinterest! Maybe we can get all of our toy clutter under control after all!

Oh, and how could I forget — Blissdom! I mentioned on Wednesday that I am heading to Blissdom at the end of the month, and I am so, so excited (and a little nervous too, of course)!  There are going to be some amazing bloggers there who I would love to try to to rub shoulders with, as well as some blogging friends (Megan!) who I cannot wait to meet in real life!

So, that’s what’s inspiring me this month, how about you?

What’s your inspiration this February? Are you ready for Spring, or have you been having mild weather, like us, too?
