Start Your Day Healthy - Drink Coffee!!

I LOVE coffee. Words cannot describe how much I look forward to that warm cup of freshly ground french roast in the morning with a generous serving of french vanilla creamer.

My day wouldn't be the same without it.

Because of my love of coffee I am so thrilled when I read about it's numerous health benefits. Maybe I am behind the times but I just read the other day that coffee has antioxidants in it! In fact coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet! Wow! (especially when you grind the beans right before brewing)

Coffee has so many things going for it, check out just a couple of it's other benefits:

- Cuts the risk of type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease, especially when you drink a lot of it.
- Two cups daily translates to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.

And what about the saying that coffee dehydrates you? Well, it's not true!!

The caffeine in coffee has a mild diuretic effect, increasing the frequency of urination but not the amount of fluid passed. According to science caffeine in fact is no more a diuretic than water.

After reading all these benefits of coffee who wouldn't want to drink it?!

I can't wait for tomorrow morning to come....

Montreal Canadiens Train

I just finished a train for a boy in Canada, sporting the colors of the Montreal Canadiens Hockey team.

I think it turned out pretty well! His aunt loves it so let's hope he does too!

Art Whims Review & Discount - Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!

I hope everyone's day is filled with lots of family, food and fun!

I am excited about this review today. I always love when I find unique one-of-a-kind things on Etsy, and that's definitely what you will find in this darling shop, Art Whims. There you will find magnets, dishwasher buddies, laundry buddies and more!

Here is a picture of one of their magnets in celebration of that day:

One of the first items that caught my eye though was Art Whims Dishwasher Buddies.

What a simple idea! But so needed in the kitchen!

Jeananne, the creator of Art Whims was "inspired by the need for clearer communication in my kitchen regarding clean and dirty dishes, my husband suggested that we make ourselves some magnets to mark whether or not the dishes in the dishwasher were clean. Now with the help of the first set of Dishwasher Buddies I ever painted, my husband and I both know when the dishes are clean! We are even saving water because the dishwasher is only ran once per load! It is great!"

All items in her shop are hand painted with love and detail in Tacoma, Washington!

For the next week until July 11th Art Whims will be offering Organic Mamas Blog readers 20% off any one item in her shop! All reimbursements will be made through paypal. Coupon code OMBLOG20.

So go take a look and get yourself a deal!!!
