Kiwi Crate: $10 off your first order of kids’ craft kits

Shared on

Last winter I wrote about how much I loved Kiwi Crate, an online company delivering monthly craft projects, to your door that spark creativity and curiosity for kids ages 3-7. Each box comes with two crafts, including all the supplies and instructions. My kids look forward to it every month. The box they are playing with above is a box we received a few months ago. It was sponsored by Carnegie Hall and is all about music. They were making Xylophones. This is a wonderful gift to give to preschool and early elementary-aged kids and right now you can get $10 off your first purchase at Kiwi Crate when you sign up through this link.

What’s for dinner? This week’s whole foods menu plan (4/8)

Shared on

I started the Advocare 24-Day Challenge last week. If you're not familiar with the program, it's a twenty-four day comprehensive supplementation and nutrition program designed to give your body the jump start it needs to help you reach your goals (weight loss, energy, and/or overall wellness). It starts with a ten-day cleanse eating whole foods and grains while eliminating dairy, coffee, sugar, and processed carbs. (Don't be scared off by the no coffee part. They offer a great Spark drink.) The second phase continues the same eating plan while adding in a small amount of dairy and whole grain carbs. My husband lost 18 pounds last month on the Challenge Keep Reading
