A Random Tid Bit

I mean, who doesn't love a good cup of coffee bright and early in the morning. My ideal morning is to wake up to a cup already made by the husband and curl up in my nice big green chair and spend some good time alone with my Savior.

But who has ever thought of white coffee filters versus brown coffee filters? Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. I had not really thought about it until about 6 months ago. I had started buying the brown coffee filters because I assumed they must be better for me..... just like brown eggs, wheat bread, etc..... so I thought, lets go with the brown ones: they are the same price, the same size, why not?

A few months ago I was talking to my awesome MIL who informed me that it is very important to use the brown coffee filters instead of the white ones. She said that the white ones are bleached, which means, you nice cup of coffee is full of bleach from those filters. I was shocked that I had never thought of it before. So next time you are in the grocery store, pick up the brown ones instead! It won't even cost you extra!

Apple Cider Vinegar

For the past year, the husband and I have really become interested in health and nutrition. Seeing as though the husband comes from a long line of organic and health lovers, it was only a matter of time before we hoped on board. It has become a value in our family and a big interest of mine. I think it is fascinating to find all the natural things that can boost our health.

Apple Cider Vinegar - did you know that a tablespoon a day can lower bad cholesterol and high blood pressure? Did you know that it can also help cure the common cold and allergies? Did you know that it can help your immune system?



Shocking, I know..... and I know the smell is pretty shocking as well. But if you can just get used to the smell and taste, apple cider vinegar has amazing health benefits. I recommend 1 tablespoon a day.... thats what the Cunningham health clan tells me at least. Seriously, try it! Next time you want to battle those allergies, try a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
