My daughter and I have been drinking soy and almond milk for as long as she's been around(nearly 3 years). Of course, she didn't actually start drinking it till she was 1, but I was drinking it while breastfeeding her. I've been told horrific things about soy milk, and over...

Okay, I am not saying this to make people mad so please no angry posts. But does it seem that this whole "green and eco-friendly" thing is another fad? I am definitely for protecting the environment by recycling, reusing and being vegetarian, but it seems like large companies...

A few months ago we bought a new house. We have a huge garden now, just what I always wanted. The best thing about a new garden is all the stuff that you don't know is there yet. I can't wait until spring to see what else is growing in our garden. Today these beauties suprised...

I thought I'd start up this a new thread as its something I'm really interested in. I'm a trained massage therapist and hoping to get on a Reiki course at the local college when they run a new one. I'm not in favour of using alternative therapies to replace drugs but I think...
