Last updated: July 24th, 2021Forever ago I wrote about bleach and eczema and to this very day it is one of my top read posts with a high number of comments. Anytime I seem to talk about chlorine bleach there is uproar on both sides of the fence. Those that inhale the strong scent and

Last updated: July 24th, 2021 I don’t know about you but bugs love me. Every time we go mushroom hunting, sit on the deck, take a walk in the woods or any other outdoor adventure I’m the main course for mosquitoes. I have had to drape myself in mosquito netting while walking through the woods;

Last updated: August 17th, 2022 Change is hard. It is constant and so is life but it still doesn’t make it easier.  My son started first grade, I work full-time, consult and run business all while being a wife and mommy to a three year old. Needless to say, some days are a juggling act

Last updated: July 24th, 2021I thought I would do a quite review of the Lifefactory glass bottle I recently got hold of.

Last updated: July 24th, 2021I live in a smaller town with only a few grocery stores. We have one natural food store and the options are good but the cost is high. This is where I get my local milk, local bread and other local products. I do like to shop around because two of

Last updated: August 2nd, 2021Chemicals and back to school – it is bugging me. A friend of mine told me her daughter was spraying Lysol at school for a classroom job and my jaw dropped. Yes there is hand sanitzer all over the place and yes schools still have to disenfect and santize but should

Last updated: August 2nd, 2021I feel as though I am often seeking out alternative remedies or at least exploring a more natural solution when my children are sick or need soothing. I’ve written a few times about using some kid-friendly remedies that I’ve found at my local health food store and the success that I’ve

Last updated: August 2nd, 2021It has reached a mild 40 degrees Fahrenheit and I’m feeling like spring is just around the corner. This temperature probably sounds cold but in comparison to the 7 degrees below zero last week I could easily put on shorts. Growing up the rule used to be we could wear shorts

Last updated: July 21st, 2021Both of my children love to color. It’s one of our favorite pastimes but some of the crayons don’t have very vibrant colors. Even when I make my own crayons from recycling the broken ones, the colors are often too dull. Why Crayons Are Often Dull Colored The biggest thing I

Last updated: August 2nd, 2021 My face is always dry. I just have that type of skin and yesterday my Origins Face Lotion was gone. Gone. I have become hooked to the stuff ever since it was sent my way. I didn’t even share it with my new Green Guru, Mckenzie. I kept it all

Last updated: July 26th, 2021 The yogic practice of nasal irrigation using a neti pot can bring swift relief from stuffy noses and sinus pressure. When I first heard of it, I was pretty skeptical. I mean, pouring salt water through your nose just sounded weird to me. And then one day I got the

They are made from deformed carrots, peeled and then dipped in a high solution of chlorine to keep them from turning white and being deemed, “bad”.  This made me scratch my head. Food dipped in chlorine that
