I am quite smitten with Belle Heir’s fall collection. The selection of gingham, velvet, and tweed is fabulous and what a great way to add vintage heirloom pieces into your child’s wardrobe. You can see my favorite Belle Heir pieces for fall over at Inhabitots.
Which are your favorite pieces?
Do you have heirloom pieces for your little ones?
Do you and your family eat asparagus on a regular basis? If so, good for you. If not, you should definitely try to add this lovely little vegetable that is jam packed with anti-aging properties into your weekly menu. Asparagus is loaded with potassium and vitamin A. The best part – asparagus has been shown to protect against cancer and slow the aging process. Isn’t this reason enough to have asparagus with your dinner a couple of times a week?
Mr. Sweet Greens prepares asparagus for dinner by quickly heating it in a hot pan with olive oil. It tastes delicious and stays crisp and crunchy.
Do you love asparagus? How do you prepare it? How do you incorporate it into your daily meals?
Ask Sweet Greens Question:
I need some suggestions. I have been making my own laundry detergent for a little over a year now, but I have noticed some of my things, mostly my hubby’s whites, aren’t getting as clean as I’d like them them to. I have used peroxide and vinegar, buy maybe I’m not using enough? HELP! Thank you, Ana
Ask Sweet Greens Answer:
Great questions Ana. When my family switched to Eco friendly laundry solutions, we had the same problem. Mr. Sweet Greens wears only white polo shirts to work – so having his whites their brightest is a must! We tried vinegar and peroxide and also weren’t able to get our whites their whitest. Over the years, we have found a remedy that works well for us. We pretreat all of our whites with a squirt of Eco Me Emma Laundry Soap
How about you greenie readers? Do you have a quick trick to get whites bright in the laundry? I would love to hear your quick laundry tips.
Eben and I spent the better part of this morning at the dentist office. The reason – Eben chipped part of his left tooth on his stainless steel water bottle Friday afternoon. I have to admit, the thought of his stainless steel water bottle ever being a problem for his teeth never crossed my mind.
Do you think this was just a total bad luck moment? Or have you heard of other children chipping their teeth on stainless steel water bottles?
P.S. After a $165 dentist bill, I may switch him over to a BPA free plastic water bottle – just to be on the safe side!
