No pictures from the home front this week. We had a busy beginning to our week because we were getting ready to go camping. We've left the three oldest at home this time, but by the time you read this we'll be happily camping with the rest of our children. My husband and I have …
This week we've had some really gorgeous days, and my children have had so much fun playing outside. I've done some de-cluttering and scrapbooking, some sewing and card making. It has been a productive week. We've hung our laundry outside a couple of days and see our rhubarb starting to poke up! Yeah! I've moved …
It's been four weeks since I put a "Friday File" up. Between my sickness, the children's sickness, and rural internet not working March was just not a good month for my blog. I'm hoping now that we are all better to get back into the swing of things because I have so many things I …
Recently we had to take Ethan to our naturopathic doctor because he seemed to be having some digestive issues. We decided to put him on an elimination diet to see if there are any foods that are bugging him. This means that for the next six weeks he cannot eat any dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, …
Hello, everyone! My name's Eva-Joy, and my mom asked me to guest post today and share my THM hot chocolate recipe with her followers. I got the original recipe off of Pinterest, but I've tweaked it so much that it hardly resembles the original anymore - I'm a huge hot chocolate fan, so it took …

One of the things that helps me stay on the Trim Healthy Mama diet is simple recipes and things that I can make ahead of time. One of those things is fudge, but sadly I can't live on fudge alone. So for my lunches I always have a supply of almond flour muffins on hand. …
Oddly enough this recipe comes from a dream. I dreamed one night about making cheese crackers. When I woke up I knew I had to try it. Basically I just took my recipe for whole wheat crackers and added grated cheese to it. I rolled the dough as thin as possible and used a one …
My baby is getting bigger all the time and doing it mostly on breast milk. Not surprising except when you consider that he's nearly seventeen months and weighs over thirty pounds. Some days are better than others for eating solids, but he probably averages an 80/20 ration between breast milk and solid foods. I …
Do you ever get down to random items in your kitchen before shopping day and wonder how you can make supper with them? I had a day like that last week. I had two packages of fish fillets that didn't match each other. And two is just not enough for our family of …
