Featured Posts from Last Week’s Submissions
We really enjoy reading your posts each week! Featured post bloggers, please grab the badge above and display it on your site! Link it to one of the host blogs’ posts for the specific week that you were featured.
Here are our picks from last week’s submissions. Thanks to all who participated — it is always hard to choose!
1. Canning Jar Pin Cushions by The Local Cook. “I like to stitch while we watch TV. So I thought hey, I should get a pincushion.”
2. Homemade Liquid Hand Soap by Thank Your Body . “It’s good. It’s gentle. Effective. Toxic-free. And doesn’t leave my hands feeling like they just got a chemical bath.”
3. Chocolate Cloud Cakes by Riddlelove. “These little cakes are gorgeous in presentation and delightful to sink your spoon into.”
Share Your Simple Lives Thursday Post
Bloggers, make a “Simple Lives Thursday” post on your own blog, then come back here to add your post to the linky box below the featured posts. If you don’t have a picture, feel free to download the Simple Lives Thursday banner (at top of post) and upload it using the script’s prompts (it is easy). Your post will appear on all host blogs!
Non-bloggers, feel free to add a comment here with any ideas or thoughts about simple living.
These are three simple guidelines for participation:
1. If linking real, traditional and simple recipes, please make sure all ingredients used are whole — such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, meats, even sugar. In order to keep the integrity of “nourishing” food, we will delete any recipes that utilize processed, boxed foods. We are definitely not going to be ingredient policemen! But, please note that this is a hop hosted by advocates of the real, local and sustainable food movements.
2. Please link your posts back to one of the hosting blogs. This is a common blog hop courtesy. This link helps build the Simple Lives Thursday community by sending your readers to all of the other participants’ posts. We all end up sharing and learning from each other.
3. No giveaway or otherwise primarily advertising oriented posts. Keep your topics to fit our simple living theme of “consume less, produce more.” We will delete posts that don’t fit.
What will you share this week? We all look forward to your submissions!

I would like to share a video where Dr Drew interviews actress Jannifer Esposito about celiac disease. The interview turned to be truly astounding and shocking because of the arrogant way Dr. Drew conducted the interview and his lack of knowlegde about celiac disease.
Watch the video and decide for yourself:

You can also support the cilaic community by signing the petition that requests an appology from Dr Drew and a new episode about celiac disease CBS.
