Oprah and staffers at The Oprah show took on the challenge of going meatless for an entire week!  If  Oprah can do it, so can you!  Staffers say that going vegan for a week not only changed their bodies but their psyche.  Oprah’s vegan-guru, author Kathy Freston, claims that eliminating meat has a host of benefits such as, flawless skin, shiny hair, and nails that grow faster.  And, she claims, weight loss is a breeze.  Of course, there are also many environmental benefits. I’m even considering trying it with my daughter’s next week!  Are you up for the challenge? Follow the link for more great info!

Soup that is healthy and simple

Soup is about comfort, warmth of soul, and the feeling of home.  And in the chill of winter, with Valentine’s Day just around the bend, soup can be about love:  love of friends and family and the care that you put into the meals that you create for them.  Let’s face it though, as busy moms, sometimes its about an easy dinner that fills the bellies fast and warms the heart!

Sorry we’ve been away for awhile but were so happy to be back for the new year!  A brand new year and a brand new blogger.  Hi everyone, my name is Laurali Star and I have some very big shoes to fill but I am thrilled to be the latest supporter of Green Halloween, a cause that I firmly believe in.  Before I began writing for the company, I supported Green Halloween through my personal blog The Damsel in the Attic.

Before hearing about Green Halloween, I had casually mentioned to another mom how frustrated I was with all of the candy my kids receive in the trick or treat bag every year.  As a mom that likes to provide nutritious meals for my children, I was stoked to hear about Green Halloween and what the company represented.

As the mother of three daughters I want to provide you with the resources and insights to help you lead a life of green, an important lesson that I’m passing down to my girls so the legacy continues.  I’m going to give you the scoop on companies that care about what goes into our bodies and our planet!  I’m also going to provide you with fun crafts, costumes, recipes, and more!
