Health and Wellness

Fall is officially here! It's my favorite time of year! I love the cool, crisp mornings, the trees exploding in color, the bustle and excitement of holiday preparation. Yet amidst the delight of nature walks, romping in fallen leaves, and marveling at God's handiwork, we are still bombarded with the frenzy of marketing that inevitably comes with this season. I like to think of myself as fairly immune to over-done holiday marketing, but to be completely honest, I am still a sucker for anything holiday-themed. The Pumpkin Spice Gimmick is my Favorite. My favorite marketing gimmick (read that dripping in sarcasm) is...

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has always wanted a Himalayan Salt Lamp.  I honestly just love the warm, cozy feeling that comes from the orange glow of the lamp.  I never had any idea that there were actually health benefits to these beautiful lamps, but after a little research, I found enough information to convince me why I not only WANT a Himalayan salt lamp, but NEED one.

I get the whole frugality thing - I really do. I love a good deal as much as anybody, but you will never find me clipping coupons. There are a million reasons why I will never be a Coupon Queen!

Need I say more? Obviously it was a one-income family, and even more obviously there was very little money. The lack of money was not something that I was acutely aware of, but I as I...

I have gone my entire life not knowing anything about enzymes - well except those classes in Nursing school, which I'd like to forget.  This all changed several months ago, when it was suggested to me that I try taking some enzyme supplements as part of my wellness routine.  Curious, I started taking some dietary enzymes and was so excited about the results and how I felt, that I started digging around to learn more about them.  I wanted to learn all about enzymes and why they are so important. Now, with a little knowledge under my belt, I’m convinced that everyone...

Actually, we are not going back to school – we homeschool, but handwashing is just as important in the home as in school.  In fact, if it is not taught and enforced at home, you can be quite sure that it won’t be happening while at school. This is our Yearly Refresher Course About a year ago, I had done this exercise with Clark and Luci (read the the blog post here) to teach them how to beat the bugs with proper handwashing.  They had both really enjoyed it at the time and they still vividly remembered it. I hadn’t planned on doing...
