Special thanks to Valley Food Storage for providing a sample meal for us to test in our home. It’s hard to find long term food storage items that are not only gluten free but also on the healthy side. When you add in the fact that we want the food to taste good, it makes it even more difficult. Whether we’re putting aside food for emergencies, backpacking, or camping, we want to know that the food is at least fairly healthy, gluten free, and good tasting. When I was asked it I would be interested in testing out one of…

Sweet Sixteen

Somewhere along the way my baby grew up. It’s hard to believe that she’s now sixteen. Once she gets her hours in with her driving permit, she’ll be getting her license. She’s no longer a little girl, but she’ll always be my baby. Her birthday started off with her opening some cards and presents.

I wanted something a little different that didn’t take up a huge amount of time each day. After some research, I…
Special thanks to the publisher through Book Look Bloggers for providing a review copy of this book. This post may contain affiliate links. I first heard about twin brothers David and Jason Benham when HGTV cancelled their new series before it was even aired. I was impressed with how they handled all of the craziness that followed the process. Their love of Christ, and their Christian values were quite evident in the words and actions. Whatever the Cost chronicles the lives of David and Jason from a young age to present day. It’s written in a fun, casual manner than…
Organic India Moringa
Posted in Reviews
Special thanks to Organic India for providing a sample of their products through Moms Meet. I first heard of Moringa when we moved to California. The health foods stores talked about this nutrient dense food that had over 90 nutrients, 46 antioxidants, and loads of minerals. It’s a concentrated superfood that is both alkalizing and energizing, and it’s abundant in vitamins, minerals, and complex amino acids. People used it to help restore imbalances in their system and increase overall well-being. The Organic India brand of Moringa products are USDA certified organic, non-gmo project verified, Kosher and Halal certified, gluten free,…
