A couple years ago I promoted a baking contest called Bake and Take Day sponsored by many state wheat organizations.

Healthier Children in an Unhealthy World
The more I hear about untested chemicals in our every day life, the more aware I become of the toxic environment our children are exposed to. In this utube video, Healthy Child, the speaker talks about how some chemicals can be 10-65 times more toxic to our children because they have lower body weights and […]
Organic Foods May Not be Domestic or Certified
We have all heard plenty of stories, in the last few years, that questionable ingredients have been added to common consumer products originating from China. Did you know Whole Foods carries many Organic Foods from China? I didn’t know any particulars about many of our food sources coming from China even in Whole Foods Stores […]

It doesn’t necessarily represent the views of The Urban Homemaker or Marilyn Moll, but it does offer food for thought and your consideration. <<<One week ago, the unthinkable happened; the state of Massachusetts elected a Republican senator, and that in an election with a very high voter […]
Water is Essential to Life
Water is a cleansing, nourishing, and life sustaining substance that our bodies crave. Too often we feed our water starved bodies sugary drinks like pop, juice, and sweetened iced teas (and if you live in the south, you know how sweet sweetened ice tea is!). This means that 2/3 of your body weight is water! […]
