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…
Homemade Eczema Cream
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
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…

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…
Soy-Lime Marinade
Oh marinades and how I love thee. Marinades can really make for an outstanding flavor enhancer on meats, poultry, fish, and/or veggies. Have I always made my own? Sadly, I cannot claim that I have. I am about to confess something so horrific you may want to stop reading now. I USED TO BUY BOTTLED…
Bum Balm…AKA Diaper Cream (Cloth Diaper Friendly)
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…
