SANITATION & HYGIENE

CODE RED: Are You Prepared For Your Period?

CODE RED: Are You Prepared For Your Period?

I created quite a buzz amongst Pinterest and my friends when I decided to challenge everything we’ve been taught about periods and introduce using menstrual cups instead. My favorite comment I received from that post was… “Thanks for not being afraid to speak-up and tell the world about menstrual cups. I can finally sleep at night knowing I’m prepared […]

Are You STILL Using Pads & Tampons? Use the Menstrual Cup Instead!

Are You STILL Using Pads & Tampons? Use the Menstrual Cup Instead!

WARNING BOYS (& maybe some girls): This post may contain TMI and forever scar your brain (at least that is what my husband told me when I tried explaining how AWESOME these menstrual cups are :) If you choose to read on you do so at your own risk. My sister was mortified when I told her I was […]

Rags to Riches: Learn to Make Your Own Cloth Wipes

Rags to Riches: Learn to Make Your Own Cloth Wipes

I used to know EVERYTHING about being a perfect mom, but then… I HAD A BABY!!! (This is actually my sister’s baby. Isn’t he adorable?) I quickly realized I knew nothing and continue to know less each day ;) Not only are babies a TON of work, but they are EXPENSIVE too! By the time […]

You SOB: Learn to Dispose of Trash Properly Before a Crisis

You SOB: Learn to Dispose of Trash Properly Before a Crisis

(Just for clarification, SOB stands for Save Our Beautification ;) There’s nothing like going home and being greeted by a huge billboard with trash bags hanging off of it calling our town’s judge a SOB (at least in a round about way :) I’m sure he’s a great guy, but the peer pressure from other politicians to add a scandal to […]

Sew Your Own Poo Wipes ;)

Sew Your Own Poo Wipes ;)

Oh my, do we really have to talk about this? Can’t I just store a year’s supply of toilet paper and never think about such things? Yes. But what happens when your one year supply only lasts six months because eating wheat and beans caused more intestinal problems than you anticipated? Every wise plan includes […]

Sew Your Own Hankies (Washable Kleenex)

Sew Your Own Hankies (Washable Kleenex)

I am not much of a sewing person – straight lines are about all I can handle. Which is good, because that’s all this project requires! Making your own washable hankies is a simple project that doesn’t take much time or money and they are sooooo soft on your nose! Plus they never rip so […]

Self-Reliance is Eco Friendly

Self-Reliance is Eco Friendly

The March 2013 Ensign featured an article on Self-Reliance that opened my eyes to how important that principle is – both temporally and spiritually. Lately I have been trying to improve how “green” my household is by eating fresher foods (which don’t come in plastic packaging) and opting for reusable items instead of disposable wherever […]

Hi! I’m Jamie!
