It’s a New Day
Hi friends. Following a bit of a self-imposed sabbatical, the time has come to announce a few changes around here. I launched Pink Moon Daily in May 2012 with six exceptional contributors – Melissa McArdle, Torrie and Ryan Sessions, Dayna McLeod, Danielle Copeman and Katie Mattern. These ladies (and gentleman) gave their writing, their thoughts and their photography skills to this community with open hearts. I am forever in their debt for supporting the mission of providing invaluable information, inspiration and guidance on living a healthy lifestyle. So first and foremost, thank you to the Read More →
Melissa McArdle’s Homemade Granola Bars
By Melissa McArdle Ever since I became a mama, my recipes are now approved by a very ‘sophisticated palate’ of a 4 ½ year old. She knows what she likes, and if all the ingredients are not to her liking, then I (and most often we) return to the mastering of perfection.

Holiday Baking with Whole Wheat Flour
By Estelle Hayes I’ve been hearing the praises of Kim Boyce’s Good to the Grain for ages and I finally ordered my copy. It does not disappoint. I’m taking baby steps with alternative flours as I’ve been burned with some dreadful whole wheat pie crusts in the past. The chocolate chip and the gingersnap recipes will be a staple in our house.

I’ll probably make them a bit smaller next time just to increase Read More →
What’s in Your Little’s Lunchbox? Estelle Shares
By Estelle Hayes My daughter, Emerson, is a four year-old creature of habit – much like her mama. She has some variation of this every single school day. Cheese quesadilla, apple sauce pouch and on occasion an organic yogurt tube or chewy granola bar and water. Overall, I’m o.k. with this lunch. Sure, I wish there was a whole fruit of some sort involved. Say, an apple or a bowl of strawberries, but she eats berries with dinner every single night. And I’m thinking of springing a whole wheat tortilla on her some time soon. I’d love to Read More →
Just Neem ~ Natural Bug Repellent and a giveaway
By Melissa McArdle Living a life filled with an abundance of outdoor living is one of life’s greatest pleasures, but often times, we are reminded that humans are not the only ones who like to soak up the fresh air. Yes, I’m talking about those pesky insects which circle, flitter and fly within the same shared atmosphere we like to deem as only ours. At least we now have options in regards to ‘green’ repellents. Just Neem will help you say ADIOS to those annoying pests. The 100% Natural Outdoor Spray doesn’t leave you smelling Read More →
