The first time I tasted kombucha, I almost spat it across the room. I know that kombucha is a fermented tea drink, but I honestly didn't expect it to taste like rotting garbage! Why on earth were all of my health-nut friends clamoring for kombucha, and I couldn't stand even the smell of it?! <>It must be me. So I set out to try all the different brands, searching for the holy grail of kombucha. It eluded me, my friends. It completely eluded me. No matter what the flavor was, I couldn't seem to get past the taste of ROT. The Benefits of...

Like every Mother in the world, my greatest fear is harm coming to my children. Over the past few years, my understanding of "harm" has evolved. Harm is not always a catastrophic event. Harm can be caused by many smaller things, such as a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle and exposure to multiple harmful chemicals. The harm from these choices take much longer to manifest, but they can be just as dangerous as that catastrophic event. The good news is that we, as parents, can choose to control our family's lifestyle, setting an example to our children and exposing our family...

I've been trying to be a little more conscious of what I am feeding my children.  We're far from perfect, but each year, when I look back, I can see that all of our small, baby steps add up to really big changes that can only be of benefit to our family.  One of these little steps that I've been working on is decreasing, if not eliminating processed sugar. So, imagine how excited I got when I found this simple and healthy jam that even your kids can make! It's just three healthy ingredients, and Clark and Luci LOVE it. Clark...

We all know that Young Living sets the world standard for quality and purity, but this doesn't just apply to their life-changing essential oils. Did you know that Young Living has food? We're talking healthy, delicious, nutritious food, that you're going to want to stock in your pantry every month! One of our favorite food products from Young Living is the einkorn flour. Einkorn is one of the oldest varieties of wheat, dating back to the beginning of time. It is not hybridized, like modern wheat. In fact, it contains only 14 chromosomes, as compared to the 42 found in modern...

A few months ago, in an effort to make our home a little safer and environmentally friendly, I wanted to start making my own laundry soap.  So I did some research, namely Pinterest, some bloggers and some DIY books.  Not so surprisingly, everyone announced that their recipe was the best.  I could find no agreement as to whether liquid or powdered was better…  it was all very confusing for a beginner such as myself.  I finally settled on a powdered recipe that seemed to be repeated multiple times throughout the blogosphere, and because it seemed to be one of the most simple recipes. ...

Some Five in a Row books are a big hit with my children, and some are not. As much as I wanted it to be loved, I realized right away that Storm in the Night, that it was not going to be a hit.  There was very little action. My children described it as "a lot of boring talking."  Clark and Luci are, however, definitively interested in thunderstorms and weather, so we didn't want to miss the subject matter. I decided instead to focus this row on the book, Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco, which we had gotten from the library as an add-on.  We've...
