Can you stand another giveaway? I sure hope so, because here ya go! I recently got to try out and review the UgleePen, an ergonomic pen. It was weird to hold at first, because it has a gel grip, but it made it easy to use and comfortable to write with. I was blown away [...]

Revealing Jesus, written by uber P&W leader Darlene Zschech is a 365 day devotional designed to reveal Jesus. (obviously!)

Bread and Wine-reviewPosted by Heather on April 17, 2013
In Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist, each chapter and section is full of heartwarming stories from “present over perfect” in which she describes laying aside the business and just BEING to “better late than never” where she openly shares her story of waiting for a child after a miscarriage.

Less Trash Lifestyle-Homemade DeodorantPosted by Heather on April 11, 2013
We were wonderfully created, and we have sweat glands for a reason. Our bodies get rid of toxins through our sweat as well as regulate core temperature. So, why do we add products that block this from happening? Add to this the fact that we absorb whatever is put on our skin, and the idea [...]
Eggland’s Best Posted by Heather on April 5, 2013

I love, love, love our Berkey. We have very hard well water, and it tastes very nasty out of the tap. I purchased our Berkey water filter a year ago, and was immediately impressed! It filters the water in just under two minutes, and we get 3 gallons of pure, delicious, clean water each time! [...]

Homemade Laundry SoapPosted by Heather on February 24, 2013
I am not a big fan of waste at all. I don’t like buying the humongous bottles of laundry soap that are full of chemicals to wash my family’s laundry. And, with 5 people, I do a lot of laundry. A LOT. So, I found a recipe online that I liked, and me being me [...]
Regrow your lettucePosted by Heather on February 20, 2013
The best way to save money is to grow your own food. But, lettuce seeds can take several weeks to get started, and to grow big enough to be harvest. And, in the winter, it’s hard to find seeds anyway, right? The solution is to regrow your own lettuce from already harvested heads. Simply cut [...]
