I don’t know about you, but I need to get something done every day or I feel a bit lazy.
I’m pretty happy with what I got done this Saturday!
I also cleaned up my porch, and I finally decluttered the coat closet! [Read more…]
Finding treats that are nut free that my son likes for his school lunch was exhausting! I ended up baking a batch of these yummy nut-free banana muffins.
School is starting again soon, and I’m once again struggling with wanting to send my son to school with something yummy and healthy that doesn’t get bad or mushy by the time he eats it.
I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult to figure out a healthy school lunch because of the restriction that everything has to be peanut or tree nut free.
The cereal bars L likes don’t have nuts in them but are made in a facility that might have had nuts in it, so that one is out — that’s how strict they are in his school.
He likes chocolate peanut or almond butter on bread, but he’s not allowed to eat it at school.
He doesn’t eat bananas, he’s not a fan of string cheese, and we don’t eat cold cuts.
Yogurt or a boiled egg get too warm by the time he eats it — so he ends up with the same boring bagel or bread with butter, some crackers I’m not crazy about but they are nut free, organic apple sauce, a juice box, and water.
I wanted to come up with a healthy, nut-free treat and ended up baking a big batch of these yummy nut-free muffins, enough to eat for a few days and freeze some for later.
Surprise a new teacher or your child with this super-easy DIY back to school gift! I made this in just 5 minutes.
This “apple” jar full of pencils is so easy to make and only costs a few dollars.
I don’t know about you, but we are always looking for a pencil in the house.
When you need one for homework, there isn’t one to be found.
And if you find it, it’s often not sharpened!
Anyone would appreciate this jar full of extra pencils — moms, kids, and teachers. [Read more…]
I wear sunscreen every day of the year — and since our skin is our largest organ, and everything we put on it penetrates into our body, it is very important to buy non-toxic skin care products for our family.
Skincare companies are allowed to claim that a sunscreen is “gentle” even though it might be full of toxins, and even I, who is adamant about only buying safe sunscreen, got duped into buying a sunscreen with toxic ingredients in the past. [Read more…]

I’ve been a mother for almost 13 years now, and I’ve always blogged passionately about parenting.
The whole reason why I started my blog, originally called Dagmar’s momsense (making sense of motherhood) ten years ago, was to be a resource for moms about attachment parenting, breastfeeding, green and healthy living.
Since we bought our house, my focus has changed a bit and includes a lot of home decor and DIY projects, but I will always love writing about parenting and sharing what works for me and might work for other parents.
It takes a village, right?
I was recently asked about the three best tips I could share about parenting, the three best parenting hacks that might be small tips but make a big difference in making our lives as parents easier.
Here are my three tips that came to mind that made a big difference: [Read more…]
