Amor Milagre Presents 10 quick tips for building a sustainable organic house home 2018 amormilagre.com healthy lifestyle candle sconce light red wallpaper room paint.jpg

Hello Design Enthusiasts!  Today, my husband is joining me in a little film about some quick tips for building a sustainable home.  To get you started in this new film & book series, we list a few excerpts from my upcoming design book.  We designed and built our home ourselves, and it’s been a quite a design & life journey.  I’ll release my organic home design book shortly at The Shop at Dove Cottage.  In the meantime, I’ll post new films and journal entries here about things you can do to build and design a healthy, loving home for yourself and your Dear Ones.  Keep health for nature and yourself in mind with each little decision.  For my Design Atelier, Help, & Custom Projects please message me.  Happy Building!  ~Amor Milagre

Amor Milagre Cozy November, Pink Applesauce Organic Vegan Non-Toxic Recipe & Apparel Girls Organic Cotton Nightgown 3 amormilagre.com

Staying in on cozy Sunday mornings, frost on the garden, and Angels twirling in handmade pink nightgowns.  On the stove, red apples soften into a sumptuous, warm, pink sauce, swirling in cinnamon.  Wonderful to taste when warm or cold at your daily and holiday teatime.  Sweet voices sing, “May I have a little bit more please?”  Happy Sweet November to you!  Lots of projects are releasing this month here and in The Shop at Dove Cottage.  ~Amor Milagre

Pink Applesauce

Holidays made easy.  Celebrate all the days.  A little as you go.  Pick apples fresh off the tree or gather some at the market for this simple and versatile recipe.  No need to wait for holidays, the wonder of the colour is in the skin of the apple.  The nutrients are there, only steamed until soft.  Add this sauce into other dishes as a natural moisturizer & sweetener, have as a side dish, and have for a cozy snack on her own.  Besides lovely raw foods, lightly cooked recipes like this are easy, healthy, and pleasurable to make, providing a cozy atmosphere, a warm, spicy cloud for the senses!

Amor Milagre Cozy November, Pink Applesauce Organic Vegan Non-Toxic Recipe & Apparel Girls Organic Cotton Nightgown 2 amormilagre.com

Non-GMO, organic, fresh, local, vegan ingredients:

Wash a few red apples, more if serving more.  Add the roughly diced apples to a pan with a little bit of water for steaming.  Sprinkle in 1 tsp of cinnamon, pinch of ground cloves, nutmeg, and a little splash of vanilla or the insides of some vanilla bean.  Add a lid and steam the apples until easily pierced by a fork or knife point, about 10 minutes or less, on med-low.  Serve like this or lightly blend gently with a fork for applesauce.

Satisfying on its own, as a side dish, snack, and dessert.  Enjoy warm, cold, or room temperature.  This is a favourite for all ages here.  Simple and quick to make, this helps parents and children read a little book while it cooks, then delight together when ready and sweetly fragrant.

This recipe has no added sugar, which is especially great for anyone ill and pregnant moms-to-be, to help stay in optimal health for you and your baby.  (It may be helpful when served cold, if ‘morning sickness’ ails you).

A little matching holiday cooking film is coming soon.

Breathe Fresh Air for Cell Health, Anti-Cancer Diet & Healing Illness Naturally


Amor Milagre Fresh Air for Cell Health, Anti-Cancer Diet / Healing Illness Naturally The Shop at Dove Cottage Baby & Child Collection Autumn Fall 2018 Art Design Books Healthy Organic Life Apparel Baby Organic Nursery Toys amormilagre.com

Breathe in and out.  Fresh air for your lungs, cells, and everywhere.  Even your hair and skin soften in real air.  Unpolluted winds refresh and boost the immune system and promote healthier sleep patterns.  Cancer is another illness, a word, a warning sign, that something is not right.  There is a lack of oxygen, fresh natural air, and a healthy balance that stems from all directions from the physical to mental to soul.  For all of the illnesses I have overcome, fresh air and quietness were prominent factors in healing and prevention.  Massive life changes heal.  Removing stressors is key.  Eat organic plants.  Live unplugged and in natural light.  Don’t fight illness.  Heal it.  Imagine not having to overcome illness in the first place.  Imagine systems and professionals who help and are compensated for real improvements.  Transitions into health and basic needs heal.  Connect with Mamma Nature, for she knows, just as the body knows, how to balance and restore.  I don’t believe any matter feels healthy boxed in, sealed up, or contained and separated from Nature.  Let animals and plants shine in the sun.  The universe needs to get back to Nature.  Healthy air, clouds, soil, and water make our food, our Life.  Let’s protect and respect Nature and ourselves.  Everything you do, be aware.  Small scale and large scale, and endless time scale.  Is this helping or hurting?

Moving forward, our home and health designs require clean, fresh, natural air without the consent or influence of others.  Our past and current designs did as well, but when depending on surrounding environments and people, intentions are frustrated into more illness.  If you can’t open a window to rejuvenate your home, it’s time to dance over to a fresh field and start anew.  When your voice is unheard or not understood, unstick, let go, move on, and remove yourself from negativity.  This idea works in many ways and planes for healthy living.  Begin again, tiring I know, but this time, with the knowledge that you can have what you need, when you make it so.  Make sure your surroundings match your needs.  Pause anything or anyone that doesn’t allow you to have your needs.  First take care of you.  This excerpt is from my self-health book collection.  For more, read my current and upcoming ethically made books from The Gentle Life Collection.

How are you?  Are you filling up with Love from within?  Do you know Love is always there for you?  Are you listening for the unbalance?  Are you surrounding yourself with basic needs for wonderful health and Love?  Are you breathing in good energy?  Know that you are Love.  Be yourself.  Be Love!

Stay tuned for more anti-cancer diet / preventing & healing from illness recipes, books, and nutrition benefit information.  It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Let’s find ways to not have to have a month for this or any illness.  What can we do to not accumulate cancer and illness?  Changes…big healthy wonderful natural changes!  Start small and crack a window, take a walk all bundled up, write letters and use your voice for change, and practice breathing deeply and gently.

A little matching film for this organic journal post is below.

Stay well!  Be Purely you!  Live in the Light! ~Amor Milagre

The Film for this post will come back again soon.

A related Universal Message:  Anyone who is trying to leave an unhealthy relationship, home, place, or country could be met kindly with compassion and nonviolence by new friends/the world/compassionate ‘leaders’.  Be aware to not go from one abuse to another.  Humans, let’s break the vicious cycle and start a new one of kindness, especially for people in need of a healthy change.  Unlearn abuse, fear, and judgement.  Learn Love.  Protect babies of all ages 0-1000.  Teach compassion and all can be well in harmony, respect, and consideration.  Strive for healthy communication and live in the peace of it.  There is room for everyone in this universe.  Humans made the lines.  Nature grows everywhere, embracing all life.  Man can take down their emotional borders and let Love go in and out.  We send Love, strength, and hope out into the Universe all the time so that this energy will travel to anyone who needs it.  Feel it in your heart.  Everyone can do something to help.  Let’s use our voices for helpful Peace.

“Wednesday, play with your food.” Organic Baby, Toddler, & Me Snacks

Amor Milagre Autumn Play with Your Food Baby & Toddler Snacks Art Design Organic Vegan natural children child club art class 2018 Collection amormilagre.com

Ever since I was very small, I’ve seen faces everywhere.  It was a way to entertain myself as I walked along the swirling lines of houses.  When I would prepare snacks for younger kids, I made a face with the food, so they’d have fun eating it.  And so, I’ve been doing this.  It’s funny to eat a raisin eye and crunch a nutty nose, when seen with an innocent, vegan soul who doesn’t take it literally, it’s a fun moment together.  Eating clouds and trees and octopus beret hats.  It’s nice to see a smiling face on your plate each day and a smiling family to match.  Children think the silliest things are hilarious, and it can help them eat well.  Little Angels here make their own faces at snack time.  This lightens the tiring task of eating before naps.  A green smoothie, (recipe coming up shortly), and a snack of nuts and fruit ensures a good rest for all.  Empty plates every time.  All is eaten, down to the last ‘jacket button’.  Perhaps, hospital meals, school lunches, and food everywhere would be better received when served with a smile?  Fun Halloween faces are coming up!  Happy Halloween and Happy Parenting!  XOXO ~Amor Milagre
