The Green PolkaDot Box

Reply

I have something I’m very excited to share with you and it’s about food, mostly!

Where I live the health food and products are extra expensive because they have to import everything so it’s been challenging to choose healthier options while staying within my budget.

Recently I came across this online store for health food and various natural products called The Green PolkaDot Box and it’s been so much fun to check out all their products!

They give you the option to sign up for a Free 30-Day Trial Membership so you can place an order and see how you like it, which is what I did. Once I received my order and was happy with it my husband got me the membership as a Mother’s Day gift.

Now being that we’re currently living in Puerto Rico the shipping rate is much higher than what the company offers to mainland United States, but at least I can order products that are hard to come by or are a lot more expensive here.

Have a look and tell me what you think!

P.S. If you choose to purchase the Rewards Membership you can earn “Rebates & Reward Points” if the people you refer shop; which is a great bonus for me since I was going to join anyways. So if you click on any of the links here and end up ordering I’ll earn some discount/reward points, no pressure or anything. Just see if the convenience of online health food/product shopping is something you’d be interested in. I appreciate that I can thoroughly look over products from my home while my kids are occupied.

Homemade Deodorant

2

I got this natural deodorant recipe from the helpful book Organized Simplicity by Tsh from Simple Mom and have been making it since last year. I’ve told some friends about it so I thought I should go ahead and give you the recipe to try out for yourselves if you’re interested.

I add lemon essential oil to mine and really like the combination of the coconut oil and lemon together. Just pick whatever essential oil you like! A batch lasts a long time.

Recipe:

1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 to 6 tbsp. coconut oil
Essential oil (only if you want it to have a fragrance)
And then any little jar or container you like, some people use an old deodorant one

And check out the book for lots of other great tips and more recipes.


Have a great week!

Last Day Of April

1

Today I am

…getting downstairs ready for painters this week (so thankful!) these walls are in BAD shape
…glad it’s forcing me to get a little deep cleaning in
…inspired by John 1, verse 4 caught my attention:“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
…trying to be intentional in teaching the boys about God and finding that I need to be intentional in my learning
…going to make soft pretzels from this recipe thanks Lauren!
…smelling the rain from outside and listening to Britt Nicole
…trying to keep millipedes out of my house that happen to be my boys “little pets”
…thinking about enjoying a midweek dinner date with my husband { at home } after the kids are down
…thankful for all the people whose lives are an inspiration, not because of perfection, but because of their passion for life and positive spirit of perseverance regardless of hardships or challenges


Wishing you a week of inspiration and perseverance to discover what you’re passionate about!

Devin.jpg
Devin (7) didn’t feel like playing at the park and wanted to stay in the car but I insisted he get some fresh air after school. All he wants to do when he comes home is watch TV & have a snack, and I sorta sympathize, but his school only has PE once a week so the boy’s gotta get some exercise other times too! It’s hard to keep a really laid back book-TV-video game-snacking-sedentary-loving-boy motivated to go outside and move!  Any ideas?

Wesley came up with this stick idea to hold up his art work and did that for some of his drawings.
