Welcome to our humble online home. Thanks for stopping by. Can I offer you some sweet tea? Maybe some homemade brownies, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, or peanut butter cookies? As always, we have lots of healthy goodies such as a fruit tray, veggies & dip, and cheese & crackers. It’s all gluten free, of course.
Let me introduce myself. I’m devildogwife. I’m married to my junior high sweetheart, devildog (D). In case you can’t guess, my beloved is a Marine (aka devildog). He’s currently serving overseas, so sadly, he may not be able to attend the party. We have a beautiful “little” girl, Munchkin. She’s homeschooled and loves animals and nature. She also loves sports.
We started to really focus on eating more healthy when we started our gluten-free journey this year. It’s been interesting learning how to incorporate gluten-free living into our lives. It’s had it’s difficulties since D is serving overseas and is also gluten-free. We’ve been lovingly sending him lots of gluten-free goodness.
As we’ve been learning more about being healthy, we’ve been making other changes in our lives as well. We’ve started using non-toxic cleaning products. This lead to learning more about how our choices can make a difference in the beautiful world that the Lord has given us. So, we’ve gotten better about recycling and not using plastic bags. We’re incorporating more healthy personal care items into our routine as well.
Well, that’s just a little bit about us. Feel free to look around a little bit. Please let me know if you have any suggestions of living a more “green” and/or healthy lifestyle or if you have a blog about green/healthy living.
There are so many cool prizes to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top five picks would be:
- Gift Certificate offered by Emily Rose (very cool American Girl clothes!)
- Target gift card offered by Mommy Bytes
- Amazon gift card offered by The Organized Knitting Club
- Amazon gift card offered by Judy at Welcome to My World of Dreams
- Paypal payment offered by Lori at A Cowboy’s Wife
And if my top five picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the following (in order of preference):#49, #79, #117, #18, #140, #129. We will pass on the lovely prizes for babies and little ones as Munchkin is going to be 9 next month. Wow! How time flies!
junior high sweet heart? wow, that’s impressive!
Thanks for visiting my party! This is great fun!
Thanks for partying with The Chocolistas!
Nice to meet you. My 4 year old nephew is on a gluten-free diet. It has really helped with his symptoms of autism. I’m doing some book giveaways if you’re interested (both sites):

Thank you SO MUCH for your husband’s service. It must be so hard to be without him for extended periods.
We are thankful for him and his fellow marines for keeping us safe!
Thank you for commenting on my site! I think I missed the Target gift card! I am a Target fanatic! I might have to update my list!
Thanks and God bless you, too!
Happy party going!

I could use the Target and Amazon gift cards too. Amazon is great for my gluten free goods in bulk!
Thanks for stopping by. Come again!

Aw your daughter is so cute. I’ve been seriously looking into a gluten-free diet as well. Eating healthier is one of my goals for this year. It’s tough.
Nice to meet you! 🙂
It is really nice to meet you! I’m having so much fun visiting all the party stops!!! I really am full, but maybe I’ll take a brownie . . . ok, throw an oatmeal cookie on the plate too 🙂
It’s amazing how good it feels to make changes step by step that are healthier and better for our environment!
Blessings,
Shera
I found your blog through Mindful Mamas and felt we had a lot in common. We are a Christian home school family in the military. We are also recently trying to live Green. I look forward to reading more of your posts!
Thanks for dropping by! I’m enjoying checking out your blog. That’s so sweet that you’re married to your junior high sweetheart!
I’m with out on the less/no chemical cleaning products. While I haven’t gotten as far as I’d like with this, I’m working on it. 😀
Hi from N Ireland.
Enjoy the party 🙂
What a nice site. Great for you trying to live more green! Thanks for hoping over to my party for green ideas. Can’t wait for spring myself!! The kids are so excited about the Easter Bunny! LOL!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and entering my contest. I hope you will visit again. Nice to “meet” you. I have enjoyed my visit to your blog today. We are also trying to become more healthy and be more green.

Thank you for stopping by to say thanks! I know I’ve been here before for a WW or TT under PMKU. It’s nice to run into your blog again. Happy party hopping.
Oh, thanks so much for the veggies! I’ve been munching on so many cakes and cookies today that it’s a relief to eat something healthy. How cool that you’re living green!
Enjoy the party!

Hi. Nice to meet you. My husband and I are big supporters of the military, and I just want to let you know that we appreciate your husband’s service.
Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog party. I’ve actually stumbled upon your blog before. Great blog!
Amanda
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself. I really hope you found my web-site of interest. And YES, if you buy a Vita-Mix, ‘please’ remember to buy it from me. 🙂
I LOVE your 14 days till Easter post. I wish to borrow your daylight savings time history story. 🙂
I ‘will’ be re-visiting your blog often. I just love it.
Many thanks and prayers for your husbands service!
Blessings to your husband and your family for your service to our country.
We are trying to be more ‘green’ too. I am curious, how do the stores act when you bring in your own bags? I mean, they have their turnstyles and bag holders, does it slow them down? Do they resent that?
Thanks for stopping by my party!
I tried leaving a comment here earlier and it wouldn’t work?
Anyway, it’s working now!!! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting too! If you ever do purchase a Vita-Mix, ‘please’ remember to buy from me. 🙂 I LOVE your blog and ‘will’ be re-visiting often. Do you mind if I add your blog to my blog roll? God bless you, your family and your husband for his service to our country.
Just party hopping and wanted to say you have a really cool party going on! I am trying to get my family to eat healthier too. So hard when both myself and hubby have major sweet tooths!
Hello! =)
My dd has to be gluten-free and slowly the rest of hte family is following her – although I admit we still sometimes make two meals LOL And I always make regular bread for the rest of us.
Nice getting to know you. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Great post! Hope your enjoying the party! I’ve been meeting tons of new people! Hope to try to visit at least half of them before Friday! You never know when you may meet a forever friend. Pop by for a visit if you get a chance! Enjoy your day!
Would you please tell your hubby thank you for doing what he is overseas, for me. I greatly appreciate his service to our country.
Thanks for joining the party. Have a great day!
