What the four of us ladies have been up to - other than running around after a total of nine precious children and taking care of our hubbies . . .
Your Thriving Family is pleased to announce that The Veggie Book, How to Pick, Prepare and Plate will finally be coming out! That's why we've been a little dark as of late. We should soon be getting back to our Essential Oils series, as well as Faith Through Loss, my journey through Miscarriage. Though, as usual, I'm writing for the Green in 365 series and The Humbled Homemaker.

In May at Creative Christian Mama we've been learning to make buttermilk, homemade "Jello", drinking chocolate and pain-relief salve. We've also taken a look at what a week of groceries in our house looks like, choosing to be joyful and thankful in marriage, how I overcame infertility twice with nothing but changes in my diet and we've had some fun giveaways! In June, we'll be talking a lot about natural mothering. I'll share some real foods recipes, natural remedies, gardening tips and more! Be sure to subscribe to make sure you don't miss any of the fun!

Simple Living Mama has been busy showing you how to do a garden theme with your preschoolers and telling you why she chose the “My Father’s World” curriculum for her soon-to-be kindergartener and her toddler. She also wrote a post about how her family is doing halfway through her husband’s deployment. Stay tuned for a post on eight sustainable goals she plans on accomplishing this summer, as well as a series focusing on cultivating habits in our children the Charlotte Mason way! Like her on Facebook to stay updated!

A Joyful Mother has been going through some website renovations...what do you think of the blog's new designs? Sara has been in "summer-mode" and writing posts about outdoor activities with kids, homemade strawberry ice cream, and spring cleaning. She is also going to be hosting a Giveaway...be sure to "like" her Facebook page to keep updated!

Sourcing Quality Produce - Organic, Conventional and Local



Sure, ideally we'd all love to buy organic locally grown fruits and veggies. Or better yet, have a nice big beautiful garden of our own. But some of us don't have the budget, space or access to this. So how do you navigate all the "labels" out there???

Join me at Modern Alternative Mama for what we have learned to do to Source Quality Fruits and Veggies!  Once you have found those delicious affordable veggies, discover some more ways to fix 'em.
