What is Clean Eating?

I have been really happy with my health and fitness results thus far by switching to clean eating. 

What is Clean Eating?

 There are different ideas and methods but what I have been following is the goal to eat food in their or as close to its natural state. It is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to an improved life 

Clean Eating Tip #1 

~ Eat five to six times a day
Three meals and two to three small snacks. Include a lean protein, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, and a complex carbohydrate with each meal. This keeps your body energized and burning calories efficiently all day long.

My New Chair!

After building the coop for my six little chickens I realized that I wanted to make more! So I looked around and found this awesome site by a woman named Ana White.
She has all these furniture plans that are simple to follow for beginners like me. I have a huge pile of 2x4s from a torn down barn so I decided to make something fun for me. Check out my adorable little chair!

My little monkey enjoying a little rest time with my Kindle :)

The plans are for a folding chair but I decided to just keep it stabilized. I also need to stain it but I just couldn't wait to try it out....

Oh its super comfortable!!

Have you tried Mott's for Tots?

My kids LOVE juice....mostly my two younger boys. If they had a choice on a drink they almost always choose juice. Unfortunately most juices have a high sugar content and not the best thing for my little chickies to be drinking all day long. Plus I have seen reports linked with juice and obesity so that is another worry that I have. So whenever I hear of a healthier alternative I always make sure to try it.

I was happy to hear that Mott's for Tots has 40% less sugar than 100% apple juice and still tastes as yummy as the other juices. My kids love this juice and I do too! So make sure to go over to Vocalpoint and get your money saving coupons and samples* to try out this great juice! 

*samples are limited so make sure you get over there quick and sign up!!

ToughTek Fabric for Sale on Ebay!

Toughtek Fabric :)

I am currently selling my last amount of Toughtek on ebay. It is great for soft sole shoes (children and adult), handbag bottoms, gloves, etc. I actually used some for my chicken coop roof! lol It came out really nice looking and was easy to put on because I just stapled it on!

What is Toughtek?

Toughtek is a brand name for a non-slip fabric made from stretchable 100% polyester knit fabric with a special textured Neoprene rubber outer coating. Toughtek is scuff-proof, highly resistant to abrasions, and retains its non-slip quality in wet, dry, warm and cold conditions. Even though Toughtek is extremely sturdy, it is also soft and pliable. It is also waterproof, fire-retardant and machine-washable and dryable.

Also will be listing pul fabric for diaper making, fabric squares, buttons and other fun items :) Cleaning house to start my photography adventure!
