Easy Colic and Gas Relief for Babies + Boiron® Giveaway

This blog is sponsored by Boiron and PTPA.

I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Boiron^® for another post! I just love this brand so much and use their products all the time, plus this post includes a giveaway so you can try out the products yourself.

Actually, I took their ColdCalm^® product just today because I felt like I might have a cold coming on. Since we will be traveling to Europe soon, I’m extra vigilant to avoid getting sick. It’s no fun to be flying with a cold.*

And their Arnicare^® Gel is my best friend when my back hurts.*

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes Recipe With a Twist

July 9, 2019 by Dagmar Bleasdale 4 Comments

Need a healthy veggie dish idea for lunch or dinner? Here you go: cauliflower mashed potatoes!

This is not a recipe for “mock” mashed potatoes made with cauliflower — this recipe combines both: cauliflower and potatoes.

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes Recipe With a Twist

Mashed potatoes without potatoes? Not in my kitchen.

I love, love, love potatoes. I ate them almost every day growing up in Germany, mostly just boiled in salt water.

Combining both cauliflower and potatoes makes a yummy dish that’s also healthy because you are substituting half of the potatoes for cauliflower.

Well, substitute sounds like you are giving up something, which you aren’t here: you are adding a vegetable and cutting some calories.

Cauliflower is low in calories, and adds many vitamins, indole-3-carbinol, and sulforaphane that help prevent being overweight, diabetes and offer protection from several cancers. [Read more…]

After a tornado hit our area and we ended up with a huge tree on our house, this is now the second time in just a few months that our yard is filled with nothing but tree limbs.

This is the before view – the tree has since been cut off our house, and all those tree limbs are also now dumped on the side of our house.

I’m dreaming of a beautiful backyard! Gosh, can we enjoy our yard already, please?

We’ve been in our Blue Cottage for four years now, and our yard still needs a lot of help.

I usually work on making it a bit nicer every year. I wish I could just hire a landscaper to do everything on my wish list and be done, but that’s not in the budget.

In the spring, I usually add more hydrangeas to our front flower beds. I had actually just planted more flowers, and some of that was undone by the storm as well.

Over the years, we added this shed.

I wouldn’t call this a she shed, although it was a kit and Don and I put it together, not only because it has mostly Don’s tool in it and I can’t use it for crafting or hang out in but it’s missing windows and isn’t big enough to make it be an extra room one can enjoy.

I built a little DIY deck in the backyard with four pallets, and just two weeks ago, I excitedly ordered a set of inexpensive backyard furniture.

Here is a similar set, a 4 Piece Wicker Patio Furniture Set. Can you believe how affordable it is for around $300, WITH cushions?! [Read more…]
