June 2015, is big deal to me. It's the month I quit Diet Coke after a 20 year addiction to it. For 20 straight years, Diet Coke was all that I drank. I didn't drink water, or juice, or coffee, or tea, or even Starbucks. I didn't drink wine, beer, or any other alcoholic beverages. I drank Diet Coke. Two to three liters a day. All day. Every day. It was an addiction. A bad one. I'd heard all of the lectures. I'd been scolded outright. I'd been discretely sent anti-aspartame articles by email for years by well-meaning friends...

It's summer vacation time. School's out and families are heading out to the beach for fun and relaxation. Have you ever stopped to wonder why the beach is such a popular destination? It's a great way to escape the heat. It's definitively a joy to watch your children play in the water while you dig your toes in the sand. But for me, it's more than that. The beach is the place where I can truly relax - where the mind and body are so completely at rest that not even a single thought can interrupt the peace of the...

A diffuser is the best replacement for candles that you will ever find. I have been obsessed with candles my entire life. So much so, that when I was a child I invented a family Christmas tradition we called "Candlefest." On Christmas Eve I would light every single candle I owned. I would place them all around my bedroom in a twinkling display. I would then invite all of my siblings to my room. We would hang out, laugh and talk late into the night. We did this every year. Diffusers didn't even exist back then. My love for candles continued into my adult...

In the summer of 2016, our family took a road trip to Utah to attend Young Living's International Grand Convention. We love road trips, but this one was extra-special as we were planning a stop at the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, Utah. As a family, we had been using Young Living essential oils for a couple of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we had fallen in love with them. So, our visit to the Young Living Lavender Farm was an experience that I'd been really looking forward to with an enormous amount of...

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...
