Poison Ivy Spray | The Easy Homestead (.com)

It happened… Molli was doing what any homesteading/homeschooler does and was outside being creative. We told her that she was allowed to use extra bits and pieces of things to build bird houses. She had researched a bird species that she saw in the yard and made them two bird houses. She came up with…

Whip it baby… Whip it good…the homemade eczema cream that is! When dealing with eczema you gotta make something fun, right? Because eczema is not fun at all. Not to this momma or her baby who suffers from it. Nanette Lorraine was just cruisin’ along- being her crazy one-year old self- when BAM! Eczema slapped…

Essential Oils for Asthma | The Easy Homestead

I never really understood asthma…until Beau (my husband) had an asthma attack right in front of me. I was terrified.  See, he had childhood asthma. I didn’t know him as a child and his asthma hadn’t affected him since he was a child. Until that frightful night. He called me on his way home. He had…

***Warning…this post will contain images of psoriasis that I have suffered from. To me, they are embarrassing and gross, but I feel that they are necessary to share my story. Never in a million years would I have EVER thought that I would need a natural psoriasis treatment for some form of psoriasis. But, as we…

DIY Bathroom Cleaner {Two Ingredients}

By Jen Sharpin 3 Comments

Two Ingredient Bathroom Cleaner | The Easy Homestead

Okay…okay. Maybe the title is a little misleading. There are actually 3 ingredients in this bathroom cleaner. But, for cool title purposes, I didn’t count water as an ingredient {even though it is}.  So, I guess I lied to you-and I’m sorry for that {kinda}. I figured we all have water, sooooo…. I have tried so many homemade/diy/mix-your-own bathroom…

I am about to confess something so horrific you may want to stop reading now. I USED TO BUY BOTTLED…

For those of us with kiddos we’ve all been there. You go to change your little one’s diaper and WHAM! You are presented with redness and/or a rash. Most parents grab a store-bought cream and slather it on. I know I used to. But please! DON’T GRAB THAT STORE-BOUGHT CONTAINER. Most are loaded with chemicals…
