When I talk to people about their health, they usually think of only their physical health. However, our overall health, or well-being, includes our mental and emotional health, too. In fact, our mental and emotional health play a role in our physical health and vice versa. They are tied together like everything else within us and around us. I find, to stay healthy and to avoid common illnesses and injuries, it is necessary to take pro-active steps to de-compress from the go-go-go of today's society. This includes unplugging from all of the electronics, and consequently the Internet.
Camping with Chemicals: Natural alternatives
During our everyday lives we try to make greener and more natural decisions. However, when we get thrown into events, such as birthday parties, camping trips and the summer cookouts, we unintentionally fall back into our old, unhealthy and unnatural habits. Well, my husband and I are planning our first camping trip of the year and I wanted to be certain we made some healthy and natural changes for this camping trip and all the ones to follow.
Thoughtful and Hand-Crafted Mother's Day Gifts

Our conversation started out normal enough, but it meandered onto the topic of "green versus healthy." Green and healthy are words that started off very meaningful and probably interchangeable at one point. Now they are used to sell "stuff" - they mean money in the marketing world now.
A Picnic on Earth on Earth Day
If my daughter above could talk, I know she would eagerly say "Happy Earth Day!" Okay, those may not be the first words that would come to her mind and out of her mouth. In any case we have had a wonderful Earth Day. We did some spring cleaning and we went out and treated ourselves with the first picnic of the year by beautiful Lake Michigan.

For every occasion there are a pair of shoes. They are not just a piece of clothing or equipment, they are a companion of sorts. We travel everywhere with our shoes from a stroll through the local grocery store to hiking the mountains in New Mexico. When purchasing shoes we can spend hours searching for the right brand, color, style and size. However, we often neglect the more critical details of function, quality and comfort. In fact, it may seem it is only by chance that you buy a "favorite" pair of shoes.
