Tending to Eden {Book Review}

by gidget green & natural living

Photo by newbeatphoto Can you believe it’s been six months since the big earthquake in Haiti? I can remember praying fervently as a fellow blogger attempted to get out of the country, forced to leave behind the son she was trying to adopt (he eventually came home to the US thanks to Humanitarian Parole).

I started fighting a cold Saturday night, prayed to make it through my first time singing in our church’s worship band on Sunday (God answered those prayers and I was blessed to be able to sing), and started really feeling it that afternoon as we [...]

by gidget food

What’s going on in the Gidget household, you ask? Both kids are quiet for one thing (have I mentioned what a lifesaver LeapPad is?) after a not-so-pleasant grocery run. We did have a lovely morning at our new favorite place, though, the San Diego Botanical Garden. Oh, and the photo above is from our blueberry [...]

food-related lovin’

by gidget food

My daughter has become quite the storyteller. Today we sat together over yogurt and “chatted”- mostly she just told me some nonsensical story full of very grown-up {and improperly used} phrases. It’s very cute. Speaking of yogurt, our new favorite snack is a little plain greek yogurt whipped up with a little all-fruit jam and/or [...]
