Just to keep things real, I had never heard of Bentonite clay until a few years ago when I started on my quest for a more healthy, natural lifestyle. Before that, if you would have told me that people smear dirt all over their bodies, in their hair, on their teeth and even DRINK it, I may have told you that you were crazy. In fact, it took me an entire year of knowing about it and researching it before I have finally tried it myself! Now, I'm busy working through these 40 amazing uses for bentonite clay! Let's start at...

We are a homeschooling family and one of our favorite subjects is nature study. I’d been eyeing a local nature preserve for a while for its natural science museum, great trails and homeschool educational programs, but what finally pushed us to go was their Dinosaurs Live! exhibit. This is a series of 10 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar at you as you walk along the exhibition path. The children absolutely loved it. Once home, after our visit, the children found a documentary on dinosaurs and were especially interested in the baby dinosaurs hatching from eggs. I love to get the kids...

I've heard it said that when you don't like the smell of an essential oil, your body actually really needs it. In this case, I tend to believe it. When I was first introduced to Cedarwood Essential Oil, all I could smell was filthy, dirty socks. Definitively NOT my favorite oil! At the time, I was beat down, tired and worn out.

This was playing havoc on my body and I literally felt like I was falling to...

If you love essential oils as much as I do, I am willing to bet that you have a list of essential oils that you don't want to leave home without. I have a little case of oils that stays in my purse - it's my little travel pack for everyday needs, emergencies and for sharing with others. I never leave home without it. It would seriously be the equivalent to leaving my home without my wallet or cell phone. You know that feeling of borderline panic? Yeah. That. With summer coming up, I know many of us are planning family vacations,...

If you are human and if you are a Mom, you’ll know what I’m talking about here. You know those days where everything goes wrong? I mean EVERYTHING. As an example, this is literally an excerpt from a recent day of mine -  I woke up to the children arguing. I got up to get some breakfast made and dumped the entire carton of milk on the floor. As I realized that I was out of eggs, I burnt the toast. The day went on and of course homeschooling was a freaking disaster. The laundry was piled so high on...
