										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Inside you&#8217;ll find: how diet affects kids with SPD or ASD, as well as practical steps you can take to alleviate some symptoms, despite kids resistance. </em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My boys wouldn&#8217;t eat the peanut butter and jelly sandwich because it was the &#8220;wrong&#8221; peanut butter. I caved and gave them cereal.</p>
<p>The rest of the afternoon was chaos as they acted like monkeys and then crashed. HARD.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Your child sees a massive lollipop&#8230; <em>you</em> see hours of them bouncing off the walls, usually ending in a meltdown.</p>
<p>Every parent has experienced the dread that comes from their kids eating junk food and the inevitable bad behavior.</p>
<p>Yet pinpointing the specific culprit often seems impossible. Sticking to a plan seems hopeless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And <strong>getting a kid <em>with sensory issues</em> to EAT healthy food?</strong> Well that&#8217;s a whole other story!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nutrition-and-Sensory-Issues.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6269 size-large" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nutrition-and-Sensory-Issues-462x1024.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="1024" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nutrition-and-Sensory-Issues-462x1024.jpg 462w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nutrition-and-Sensory-Issues-510x1131.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nutrition-and-Sensory-Issues-135x300.jpg 135w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nutrition-and-Sensory-Issues.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></a>The goal of this post is to help you understand why food really matters for your sensory kid and what small steps you can take TODAY to start working toward a healthier lifestyle. The changes will be dramatic!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Thank you to <a href="https://detoxorganics.com?rfsn=1113546.e51fbc">Detox Organics</a> for sponsoring this post and helping bring awareness to a much over looked factor in sensory needs.

<h2><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Inflammation</span></strong></h2>
<p>Remember that sensory dysfunction happens when a child&#8217;s brain <strong><em>over</em> or <em>under</em> responds to sensory input</strong>. While there are MANY factors that contribute to that, <em>some beyond our control</em>, many doctors are starting to see a connection between inflammation and high sensory needs.</p>
<p>Think about it like this, the brain receives signals from every single inch of the body. Those signals have to travel via nerves to the brain and be interpreted. But often times, inflammation around the nerves or receptors causes those nerves to overreact or completely miss the incoming signal.</p>
<p>To give kids the best shot at a happy functioning sensory system, you&#8217;ll want to keep inflammation low. (Plus all the millions of other health benefits!)</p>
<p><strong>But where should you start???</strong></p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Clean Eating</strong></span></h2>
<p>There are millions of diets out there. From the extremely strict to the totally bizarre. Where should you start? What will have the biggest impact on your child&#8217;s behavior and sensory needs?</p>
<p>I like to encourage sensory parents to start by <strong>eliminating everything artificial</strong> from their children&#8217;s diets. Other terms for this include &#8220;all natural&#8221; or &#8220;clean eating&#8221;. There are so many ingredients added to our food these days that are simply not &#8220;food&#8221;. One big culprit in kids&#8217; behavior is <a href="https://wellnessmama.com/36873/do-food-dyes-affect-behavior/">artificial dyes</a>. These chemicals add nothing beneficial while negatively affecting the brain. In fact, the EU has banned most of the dyes still used in the US or has a warning label on the foods containing them.</p>
<p>MSG is another ingredient that studies have proved to have a harmful effect on the brain, yet is still commonly used.</p>
<p>(<em>I&#8217;m convinced for something to be labeled &#8220;edible&#8221; it simply means it doesn&#8217;t kill you immediately!</em>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AdobeStock_136073770.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6271" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AdobeStock_136073770.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AdobeStock_136073770.jpg 1000w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AdobeStock_136073770-510x340.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AdobeStock_136073770-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AdobeStock_136073770-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a></p>
<p>Be sure to read ingredient lists. There are no regulation on the term &#8220;natural&#8221; and anyone can make the claim, when really they are using questionable ingredients.</p>
<p>Eating clean is a great way to start your healthy eating journey. It has a BIG impact on behavior without a significant change in taste or texture.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Elimination Diets</strong></span></h2>
<p>Every child has unique ways that their bodies will react to certain foods. Different things can trigger an inflammatory reaction in different kids. Not all intolerances look like a full blown allergic reaction, but often show up as digestive discomfort, skin issues, sensory issues or behavior issues.</p>
<p>Just keep reminding yourself, <strong>the gut and the brain are connected</strong>.</p>
<p>There are two typical ways of figuring out your child&#8217;s unique dietary needs.</p>
<p>First you could do genetic or other diagnostic testing to see how your child&#8217;s body processes specific substances.</p>
<p>Second, elimination diets remove all the classic allergens from your child&#8217;s diet, waiting for all symptoms to alleviate, then slowly, one by one, introducing suspected foods back into the diet to see which one triggers issues.</p>
<p>This works a lot better than guessing, but takes a lot of dedication. Kids usually protest to the extreme change in their eating habits. <a href="http://www.gapsdiet.com/">The GAPS diet</a> is specifically designed to figure out what foods are triggering other issues. <strong>It&#8217;s extremely strict but very effective.</strong>  The Whole 30 diet is another decent place to start and you&#8217;ll easily find recipes all over the internet.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Changing Habits with Sensitive Kids</strong></span></h2>
<p>Guys, changing your kids&#8217; diet is extremely difficult, and with a sensory kid it seems nearly impossible. This is a HUGE battle in our home. This is definitely an area where I know what needs to happen but really struggle to make it happen!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re doing pretty well with clean eating. We&#8217;re in the process of figuring out genetic influences. But I know that food is a powerful remedy and there are so many super foods out there.</p>
<p>But sometimes <strong>I just can&#8217;t handle the constant complaints over healthy food</strong>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve looked into supplemental smoothies, but most have an ingredient <em>or eight</em> that I want to avoid. Dairy, gluten, soy, sugar, artificial junk, the list goes on of all the &#8220;no-nos&#8221; I&#8217;ve found in supposedly &#8220;healthy&#8221; drinks. I&#8217;ve literally been looking for YEARS to find a supplement that will provide all the fantastic nutrients my kids need.</p>
<p>Then I found <a href="https://detoxorganics.com?rfsn=1113546.e51fbc">Detox Organics</a>! As their name implies, their ingredients are organic, so nothing artificial. AND there&#8217;s no dairy, soy, or sugar. Totally vegan.</p>
<p><a href="https://detoxorganics.com?rfsn=1113546.e51fbc"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6259 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Detox-Organics-18.jpg" alt="" width="667" height="1000" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Detox-Organics-18.jpg 667w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Detox-Organics-18-510x765.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Detox-Organics-18-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p>Yet it&#8217;s packed with incredibly beneficial ingredients that support proper digestion, aid in detoxing, and help balance alkalizine levels in the gut.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s acai berry, goji berry, spinach, kale, turmeric, beets, carrots, pineapple, broccoli, spirulina, ginger, fennel, lemon balm and tons more.</p>
<p>And the most important thing, <strong>it tastes great</strong>. So my kids <em>actually drink it</em>. In fact, they usually ask for seconds!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nutrition plays a BIG role in sensory issues. But sensory issues can make addressing diet quite a battle.</p>
<ul>
<li>Start simply, by cleaning up your diet, eliminating artificial ingredients and dyes.</li>
<li>Consider an elimination diet to figure out your child&#8217;s unique inflammation triggers.</li>
<li>Add nutrient dense foods in appetizing ways <a href="https://detoxorganics.com?rfsn=1113546.e51fbc">like with this chocolate shake</a> that has all of the good stuff and none of the bad.</li>
<li>And be patient. These changes don&#8217;t have to happen overnight  and there will be setbacks. Just keep striving for healthy choices.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inside you&#8217;ll find: An incredibly addicting apple cake recipe that will have your guests begging for more.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not really a cake person. I prefer a good brownie or cinnamon roll to a plain cake with frosting.</p>
<p>In fact for my birthday, I usually opt for these <a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/the-life-changing-pumpkin-bar-recipe-with-cream-cheese-frosting-recipe/">pumpkin bars</a> (I&#8217;m an October baby). But everything changed when my mother-in-law introduced me to her drool-worthy apple cake.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Apple-Cake-Short.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5918 size-large" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Apple-Cake-Short-321x1024.jpg" alt="" width="321" height="1024" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Apple-Cake-Short-321x1024.jpg 321w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Apple-Cake-Short-510x1626.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Apple-Cake-Short-94x300.jpg 94w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Apple-Cake-Short.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. Read my full disclosure <a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/disclosure/">here</a>.</em></p>
<p>This texture of this cake has so much variety and appeal. The tangy sweet apples and coconut  pair deliciously with the almost crunchy outside. This cake is so moist, you won&#8217;t even need a glass of milk!</p>
<p>And folks, if I can pull of a recipe, you know it&#8217;s pretty fool proof!</p>
<p>Pictures do not do this justice!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know what it is about Chip and JoAnna Gaines and <strong>their show &#8220;Fixer Upper&#8221; that makes me into such a fan girl</strong>. I usually hate all things on-trend and pop-culture.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m not alone in my love of the incredibly popular show on HGTV. Joanna&#8217;s style is so relatable and versatile. I think the draw is that it&#8217;s <strong>classic and casual</strong>.</p>
<p>I love to decorate, but I don&#8217;t want to have to switch it up every two years to avoid being out dated. I&#8217;m also the polar opposite of a perfectionist, so I love that most everything is rough around the edges!</p>
<p>And the absolute best part of the &#8220;Fixer Upper&#8221; style is that it can be done affordably with just a few accessories.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Initials</strong></span></h2>

<p>One of the great things about the Gaines style is how personal it it. Joanna is big into bringing dimension to spaces, not just a bunch of flat things hanging on a wall. She often incorporates initials into the home. I thought these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJBJY2C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00SJBJY2C&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thfohsho-20&amp;linkId=50e934f471451c2f940ac1c78cafa2e6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">metal letters</a><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thfohsho-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00SJBJY2C" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> would look too &#8220;cold&#8221; but it actually fits perfectly with our living room!</p>
<p>Find an initial or <strong>spell out a fun word</strong> like &#8220;JOY&#8221; or &#8220;PLAY&#8221; to fit the room!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Clocks</strong></span></h2>

<p>I&#8217;ve always loved clocks. Ironically, they&#8217;re rather timeless!</p>
<p>In a farm style home, a gorgeous clock reminds me to <strong>slow down and savor.</strong></p>
<p>I fell in love with this clock from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OnTimeHome" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">OnTimeHome</a>. Jessica, the designer, has a bunch of styles to choose from and they can even be customized with your sweetheart&#8217;s name, anniversary, etc. I find myself looking up to gaze at this gorgeous clock, even though I already know what time it is!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Hand Lettered Signs and </strong></span><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Chalkboards</strong></span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5032 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4.jpg" width="667" height="1000" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4.jpg 667w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-510x765.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure by now you&#8217;ve noticed the lovely trend of hand lettered fonts. They&#8217;re just so <strong>gorgeous and feminine.</strong> A favorite quote can take on a whole new life when written in these scrolling fonts.</p>
<p>I got this eye-catching quote of the hymn &#8220;Be Thou My Vision&#8221; from the Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RevelationHouse" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Revelation House</a>. I want to buy pretty much every sign in her whole shop!</p>

<p>This sign was a Hobby Lobby find. <a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/my-testimony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">I&#8217;ve battled with post partum depression</a> and I love having this reminder in my kitchen that I need to choose my thoughts or they will destroy me. Apathy is not an option.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re wanting something a little more versatile than a sign, chalkboard is calling out to you! We put inspiring quotes, Bible verses, or seasonal greetings on this little baby I found at Target.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Wreaths</strong></span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-3-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5031 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-3-3.jpg" width="667" height="1000" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-3-3.jpg 667w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-3-3-510x765.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-3-3-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p>Wreaths on a front door are your chance to make the <strong>perfect first impression.</strong> And don&#8217;t forget you can put wreaths in other places in your home! Over a mirror, hanging from a glass cabinet, the sky&#8217;s the limit.</p>
<p>I made this wreath myself in ten minutes flat. I trust me, I&#8217;m not crafty! I just trimmed a bush in my front yard and stuck the clippings into a plain <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054G5Q04/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0054G5Q04&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thfohsho-20&amp;linkId=1cfce1776d61b4190d665d4949dffdbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">grapevine wreath</a><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thfohsho-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0054G5Q04" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t even glue it! Told ya I&#8217;m not a perfectionist.</p>

<p>Every home needs a splash of color!</p>
<p>When I stumbled up Tiffany&#8217;s Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/NovelExpression" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NovelExpression</a>, I was amazed at the detail she puts into her wooden flower arrangements. Totally customizable and maintenance free, these <strong>hand-made flowers are a show stopper!</strong> Some of the flowers can even be made out of book pages!</p>
<p>You can get them as a centerpiece, mason jar vases, or even create a wedding bouquet that will last a lifetime!</p>
<p>My latest obsession our these real-touch silk tulips by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StempleShop">StempleShop</a>. You&#8217;d never know they&#8217;re artificial and their color is mesmerizing!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StempleShop"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5435 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dinning-Room-Chairs-7.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dinning-Room-Chairs-7.jpg 1000w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dinning-Room-Chairs-7-510x340.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dinning-Room-Chairs-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dinning-Room-Chairs-7-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a></p>
<p>Seriously, get a load of that color!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m usually anti artificial flowers, but these lived up to the hype. Flawless!</p>

<p>To make a house a home, you <em>need</em> plants. Something about <strong>growing plant life while raising human life</strong> is just poetic!</p>
<p>Since I tend towards the practical, I like to grow herbs. I have thyme, oregano, cilantro, green onions, and mint so far.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5033 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-3.jpg" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-3.jpg 1000w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-3-510x340.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-4-3-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a></p>
<p>They&#8217;re so simple, but they bring me so much joy. They&#8217;re gorgeous, save us money, and keep my family healthier. <strong>Really no reason not to try!</strong></p>
<p>Not much of a green thumb? I&#8217;m not either. Succulents are a great, hands-off way to bring some green into your home!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Shiplap </strong></span><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>and Industrial Shelves</strong></span></h2>
<p>These two things aren&#8217;t all that simple but they certainly take &#8220;Fixer Upper&#8221; style to a whole new level!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never heard of shiplap, it&#8217;s a popular wooden paneling common to older homes in Texas. When painted, the grooves create these gorgeous horizontal lines that just <strong>scream country farm with charm</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5036 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-6.jpg" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-6.jpg 1000w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-6-510x340.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-6-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a></p>
<p>While I do live in Texas, my home is a boring &#8220;newish&#8221; construction from the nineties.</p>
<p>So we decided to <strong>fake it! </strong></p>
<p>Would you believe we just took some cheap plywood, cut it into 6 inch strips, nailed it to the wall and painted it white? I&#8217;ll post a tutorial once we get the whole kitchen done. But while it does take some time, this is a totally doable DIY.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m SO in love with our shiplap walls that I&#8217;m <strong>VERY particular about what I want to put on them</strong>.</p>
<p>I wanted some shelves that didn&#8217;t look like $10 particle board finds. These shelves were custom made by Lizz and her husband from the Etsy shop <a href="http://DuffyIndustrialHome" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">DuffyIndustrialHome</a>. You can choose the size and stain to fit your needs.</p>
<p>I am such a fan of how <strong>they combine industrial with rustic</strong>. They&#8217;re fun and practical. Super solid and easy to assemble since all the hardware (and then some) was included.</p>
<p>New favorite spot in my home!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5034 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-5.jpg" width="667" height="1000" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-5.jpg 667w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-5-510x765.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fixer-Upper-5-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p>I just want to throw out one more big &#8220;THANK YOU&#8221; to the wonderful Etsy shop owners that contributed their gorgeous products to this post. You&#8217;ve made my home more inviting than I could ever have imagined. May love grow here!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to sound extra crunchy, tell your friends you want a Himalayan salt lamp for Christmas. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If they haven&#8217;t heard about Himalayan Salt Lamps, you&#8217;ve got to tell them what all of the fuss is about. There are many people out there who own these lamps and will swear by the countless benefits that they offer.  </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/5-benefits-of-Himalayan-Salt-Lamps.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4796 size-full" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/5-benefits-of-Himalayan-Salt-Lamps.jpg" alt="5-benefits-of-himalayan-salt-lamps" width="426" height="640" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/5-benefits-of-Himalayan-Salt-Lamps.jpg 426w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/5-benefits-of-Himalayan-Salt-Lamps-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. See my full disclosure policy <a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/disclosure/" target="_blank">here</a>. </em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don&#8217;t have a Himalayan Salt lamp?  If you are on the fence and would like a little further information before you buy, here are 5 benefits of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ET7ORW2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00ET7ORW2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thfohsho-20&amp;linkId=bf00368ff0c39339a120047a2d9f076b" target="_blank">Natural Himalayan Rock Salt Lamp</a><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thfohsho-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00ET7ORW2" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> that might help you decide.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Static Reducer  </span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Static electricity is so annoying!  Who hasn’t had to deal with frizzy hair or an article of clothing that is stuck clinging to your skin (typically at the most inopportune time) or, my favorite, a sock stuck to the back of your outfit where you will never see it?  And the dreaded shock you get from touching a doorknob or even your loved ones is the worst.  Static cling is to blame for all of these annoying life situations, but Himalayan Salt Lamps can help you to avoid these by neutralizing the the air and the ionized particles that cause static.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Mood Booster</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">  Since Himalayan Salt Lamps are known to produce negative ions which are good for boosting moods, they are said to be good at helping to boost your mood when you are feeling down.  In addition; the soft, warm glow is similar to that of the sun, and many people enjoy the sun-like glow in their home year round.  For those that tend to feel down during the darker months of Fall and Winter, that glow is a benefit.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Air Purifier and Cleanser  </span></strong></h2>
<p>Himalayan Salt lamps are excellent at removing dust, pollen and impurities from their air.  This is perhaps their most well known benefit.  They essentially act as a great <strong>air purifier and filter locking all of the impurities into the salt</strong>.  Because of their abilities to reduce impurities, these lamps are great for those that suffer from allergies and asthma.  Placing one or two of the lamps in each room, the sufferer will likely see results within a couple of weeks.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Budget Friendly and Long Lasting</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Have you ever shopped around for a Himalayan Salt Lamp?  If you have assumed that they are expensive, you should check them out.  You will be surprised to find that they are relatively budget friendly (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I567G84/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B01I567G84&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thfohsho-20&amp;linkId=8c0cdb89c972a41777ccabfc5b326d92" target="_blank">many like this one can be found for less than $20</a><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thfohsho-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B01I567G84" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />).  In addition, they last a very long time.  Many Himalayan Salt Lamp owners report that their lamps have lasted for decades. </span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Gentle on Your Eyesight</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">  The soft glow of a Himalayan Salt lamp is easy on your eyes, which is more than can be said for many of the fixtures and lamps that are currently in most homes.  The majority of the lights we encounter on a daily basis (lamps and light fixtures, televisions, phones, computers, etc) are blue lights which are straining to the eyes.   Their soft yellow light also makes them a perfect choice for a nightlight for your little ones that don’t like the dark.  </span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a href="http://izea.it/aCP5CqH" rel="nofollow">Tom’s of Maine </a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</em></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">I&#8217;m a procrastinator.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">I&#8217;m not sure why I push things off till the deadline only to give myself a mini heart attack.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;"><strong>Starting to make natural choices was no different.</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">I knew it would be good for me and my family, but I just kept making excuses. I was burying my head in the sand, and I knew it.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;"><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-Pin.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4749 size-large" style="height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-Pin-585x1024.jpg" alt="toms-of-maine-pin" width="585" height="1024" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-Pin-585x1024.jpg 585w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-Pin-510x893.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-Pin-171x300.jpg 171w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-Pin.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px" /></a></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">Every time I would read something from people who were further down the road of natural living, I&#8217;d get overwhelmed and decide it was impossible to make positive changes.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">Then I got pregnant.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">As most new mothers, I desperately wanted what was best for my child. I started researching <a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/why-we-chose-not-to-give-birth-in-a-hospital-or-at-home/">birth options.</a> Natural birth really appealed to me. I started realizing that <strong>alternative approaches had some solid research behind them.</strong> The midwives were so helpful, knowledgeable and not &#8220;judgy&#8221;. I was hooked! One thing kept leading to another. Natural birth led to attachment parenting, attachment parenting led to natural medicine, natural medicine to natural toiletries and so on.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">Our lifestyle has drastically changed, but <strong>it&#8217;s taken years to get here.</strong> And even when I advance in one area, I often times need to step back in other areas. Such as when my youngest was born with serious health concerns, I gave myself the grace to ditch the cloth diapers.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">When I&#8217;m really trying to control the chemicals and ingredients in my food, cleaning products, and toiletries, I  like to make them from scratch. But that is <strong>NOT always feasible.</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;"><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4751 size-full" style="height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-3.jpg" alt="toms-of-maine-3" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-3.jpg 1000w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-3-510x340.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-3-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;"><strong>That&#8217;s where companies like <a style="font-family: sans-serif, Arial, Verdana,;" href="http://izea.it/ayvtFnx" rel="nofollow">Tom’s of Maine</a> come to the rescue.</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">They are a responsible company that are transparent about their ingredients in their toiletries. They keep things simple and keep the yucky ingredients out. And you don&#8217;t have to go to the ends of the earth to find their products. Tom&#8217;s of Maine &#8220;Made to Matter&#8221; collection can only be found at your local Target.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">They make a toothpaste called <span style="color: #545454; font-family: 'Gotham Narrow SSm A', 'Gotham Narrow SSm B', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #fafafa;">Luminous White <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Toothpaste</span>. It&#8217;s a natural whitening toothpaste that is safe for enamel. It&#8217;s also gluten and paraben free. Their <span style="color: #545454; font-family: 'Gotham Narrow SSm A', 'Gotham Narrow SSm B', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #fafafa;">Wicked Cool!<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Deodorant</span> boys and girls is a great way to get your kids started down the natural living path early. It provides 24-hour odor protection and is free of aluminum, parabens, and artificial fragrances. Keep your kids smelling fresh, the natural way!</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;"><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4752 size-full" style="height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-4.jpg" alt="toms-of-maine-4" width="667" height="1000" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-4.jpg 667w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-4-510x765.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-4-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">It&#8217;s easy to get your husband on board with natural living products when you can offer them something as effective as the <span style="color: #545454; font-family: 'Gotham Narrow SSm A', 'Gotham Narrow SSm B', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #fafafa;">Men’s Naturally Dry North Woods<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Antiperspirant</span>. It provides all day odor and wetness protection (essential here in Texas) without nasty petrochemicals, unnecessary artificial fragrances, or painful irritation.</p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;"><a href="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4753 size-full" style="height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-5.jpg" alt="toms-of-maine-5" width="667" height="1000" srcset="https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-5.jpg 667w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-5-510x765.jpg 510w, https://www.mymundaneandmiraculouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toms-of-Maine-5-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p style="font-family: Georgia,;">So what is keeping <em>you</em> from starting the natural living journey? Don&#8217;t let the sheer amount of changes necessary make you stall out. You don&#8217;t have to be perfect and never could be. Baby steps will get you further and healthier than you could have ever dreamed. But you <em>have to start</em> and Tom&#8217;s of Maine is here to make those natural living switches as easy as possible for busy moms.</p>

<p>Can I admit to the world that I&#8217;ve never had a pumpkin spice latte?</p>
<p>Horror, right? And since we&#8217;re confessing, I haven&#8217;t had any kind of latte ever. Eek!</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not to say I haven&#8217;t had my fair share of <strong>pumpkin obsessions.</strong></p>
<p>These pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting have been my favorite since my mom got this recipe from a church friend when I was a child.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Our family was recently blessed with new laminate flooring. I love it! (The above is NOT a picture of it.) I&#8217;m the biggest slacker when it comes to cleaning floors. I just don&#8217;t like it, and it shows. (Please call before coming over to my house! Just kidding, you&#8217;re welcome anytime!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">But I knew if I found an all natural solution to wash my floors with, at least I wouldn&#8217;t be feeling guilty about my baby crawling all over it. I wanted something that wouldn&#8217;t hurt the environment and wouldn&#8217;t be harsh on little lungs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s what we use&#8230;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">1/3 Cup Water</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">1/3 Cup Rubbing Alcohol</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">1/3 Cup White Vinegar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">3 Drops of Liquid  Dish-washing Soap</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">5-10 Drops of Essential Oil (We use Lemon or Orange)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">We fill up our <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083G6ZSO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0083G6ZSO&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thfohsho-20">Casabella Microfiber Spray Mop</a><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thfohsho-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0083G6ZSO" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> with this recipe because you can put whatever cleaning solution you want and the microfiber works great and is washable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">There you have it! A recipe to have naturally clean floors. Now if only I actually took the time to wash them!</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>My son loves to make desserts.</strong></p>
<p>This would be a great thing <em>if</em> he didn&#8217;t always <strong>mix up the sugar and the salt</strong>. Eek!</p>
<p>But this quick and simple dessert is outstandingly yummy and something even a toddler can help with!</p>

<p>Now, these are<strong> so simple, you may be tempted to dismiss them.</strong> But that would be a mistake.</p>
<p>If you bring them to your next party, they&#8217;ll fly off the plate into happy mouths so quickly, people will be <strong>begging you to bring more next time!</strong></p>

<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>You&#8217;ll Need:</strong></span></h2>
<p>Strawberries</p>
<p>Chocolate Frosting (We found an all-natural one we LOVE!)</p>
<p>Sprinkles (Optional)</p>
<p>A mixer</p>
<p>A resealable baggie</p>
<p>Scissors and Knife</p>
<h2><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Directions: </strong></span></h2>
<p>With a hand mixer, beat the chocolate frosting until it&#8217;s light and fluffy, about three minutes.<br />
Cut off the tops of the strawberries so they can sit flat on a plate. Cut an &#8220;X&#8221; into the pointed end about 2/3 deep into the strawberry.<br />
Spoon the frosting into a ziplock bag and cut off the tip so you can squeeze the frosting into the cut strawberries. Top with sprinkles if desired.<br />
