That got your attention, didn’t it? Today’s post is one that some people may not agree with, but it’s something that’s been on my mind lately. If I get it off of my chest, maybe it won’t be so heavy.
DIY Herbal Baby Oil
Nothing can compare to that exhilarating feeling of holding a fresh faced, silken skinned newborn. I know that I didn’t think twice when the hospital staff bathed my baby in Johnson’s baby wash and shampoo, finished off with lotion and baby oil. I cringe now, knowing what’s really in that stuff (including cancer causing toxic chemicals). So what’s the alternative? …
Seasons Change…
Well…Happy Spring! This short post is slightly different than previous posts. I’m feeling the need to both reminisce and look forward. Let me explain…
Earthing…You Dig!??
You’ve heard me say it a time or two before, but I’ll say it again. Yay For Spring! I love being able to get back outside with nature. I feel as though I, too, come out of my cocoon and winter hibernation state and start to feel alive again through all of the colorful beauty, which surrounds. Do you feel this way, …
Why I Choose To Be A Criminal – Raw Milk
The following story is a true story. I pulled up to the dirty, rusty, old van parked all by itself in a random lot. I looked to make sure there were no 5-0 around. Things were quiet, so I approached and asked, “Are you Sam?” He smiled warmly and confirmed that he was. I was immediately put at ease. I …

Taking Lessons From Our Children
I was scrambling to get together a post tonight about getting my sunscreen for sale in my blog’s shop and in my Etsy shop. Unfortunately, I did not get it up. Don’t worry, I will have it up tomorrow. Things have been…well, let’s say a little tense in my household (hubby and I are great, as is Oliver). I won’t …
I Gave My Toddler A Choice…
As you may know, I run a scratch kitchen. I do this for several reasons… It all started because of ‘alleged’ food allergies (which we are healing) I learned what GMOs were I realized the “food” we had been eating wasn’t really food…at all My family deserves better, healthy, *real* food and I can provide that (I’ve learned to, anyway) …
Soothing Pregnancy Tea Recipe
Ok, mammas this is one for the books. (That means you need to save this one!) I mean you had me at soothing……and it can help during labor. Now I am sold! During my first pregnancy, I kind of winged it. You know, I ate healthy here and there and made sure not to consume too much caffeine. I tried …
The Benefits of Being Raised by an Alcoholic Mom
I can still remember watching her while she would get ready to go out. She was a beautiful woman: short and heavyset with cropped and stylish light blonde hair. Her blue eyes (which I share with her) are mesmerizing, and her smile lights up the room. She was usually the life of the party and surrounded herself with people …
