Aw man, I was doing so well and then vacation happened and I totally forgot to schedule this little post. First world problems, sheesh. Please forgive me and enjoy this delicious summery awesomeness several days late. I think it’s worth it.

So recently, 17 bloggers joined forces and compiled a powerhouse of natural living information. This series is the result - brought to you by normal people trying to live a little more healthy in a not-so-healthy world. I’m excited to see where this will take us, and since natural living so often walks hand-in-hand with frugality, I thought you would be excited too.

This is what we’re doing.

Nothing says summer in America like sweaty, tired children, a misting fan, and a few amusement park rides. We’re in the midst of family vacation over here – my parents, siblings, and I try to pull one of those off every year, and this time we’re relishing the family time, sunshine, and one long day at a park.

I had these grand plans of keeping up with the blog over the week, but then the kids were so cute, and the pool was so cool, and sun was so bright, I lost myself to the joy that is family.

Getting a child to eat vegetables can be a monumental task that most moms hope to accomplish in their lifetime. We all know that many kids balk at vegetables.

Moms therefore try to find ways to “hide” vegetables in meals and casseroles, hoping their children do not notice the “green and orange stuff” hidden within their food. They whisper to their older children that they “better not say the word ‘vegetable’ or their younger siblings won’t eat supper!”

My girls eat vegetables every day.  I’m not talking about vegetables hidden in food; I’m talking about fresh, raw, healthy vegetables!  My girls cheer when they see I’m chopping up a plate of celery, carrots and green pepper!

Hop on over to Jill’s Home Remedies for fun and practical tips on teaching your own kids to eat more vegetables!
