One of the biggest challenges I face day in and day out is getting out the door in the morning at the time I’m supposed to.  The days that seem to run smooth are always the days when I am most organized. 

Have you ever thought what can I do to really excite my kids about a “Family” Vacation?  While younger ones can be enticed with just about anything sometimes, those a little older will only think of family vacations as a downer.  Their thoughts of course are how uncool it is to be on vacation with their parents! Let’s chat about how to refresh the “family vacation”!

      I've mentioned Ethical Eating a number of times on this blog, and I wrote about it a good bit over at Cheap Wine and Cookies.  The Ethical Eating phenomenon is spreading fast around the world, but many people are still in the dark as to what, exactly, this movement entails.  I am here to tell you.

One of the greatest differences in organic fruits and vegetables lies in how the food is grown, handled and processed. Because organic foods aren’t treated with preservatives and waxes you may find that organic fruits and vegetables spoil more quickly than nonorganic varieties. 

Refreshing yourself with a little relaxation at a luxury resort and getting a little R & R is important. Also just as valuable is keeping oneself grounded or staying connected with our earth. Yes my dear, sometimes a few of us tend to lose ourselves when on holiday, but let’s not throw all our virtues out the window and definitely not our spa days.

I often times sound like a broken record to my close friends and family. Give me any political issue and I’ll show you exactly how money in politics plays a significant role in its outcome. I’ll spare you my long lecture about how the role of money in our political system degrades the health of our democracy (maybe I’ll hold that for another Working Mother post) and get right to what’s been on my mind.

It's a great day in the city of Detroit !

Those of you who know me know that my favorite market (by far) is Whole Foods.  I was just there an hour ago.  I came home with produce, peonies, Kombucha and vitamins.  I have been a Whole Foods shopper since my son was born and I lived in Chicago.  Back in 1998 there was one Whole Foods in Chicago.  Today there are six.
