If you’re not being awakened at night or having to quell arguments between siblings, you’re researching like mad trying to figure out the best foods to feed your brood, and then making the time to cook from scratch and source quality ingredients.

Oil Pulling Tips and Success Stories ~ Do You Swish?

April 25th, 2013 · 48 Comments · Food for Thought, Natural Health

Quiz: What did you do upon getting out of bed this morning? Pray a morning offering/devotion. Get back in bed and pull the covers over your head, screaming, “I’m not facing the day!

I’ve really been enjoying squeezing lemon into my water lately and dropping in the wedge to flavor the next refill a bit. I’m already changing my new habit.

Wheat is NOT Genetically Modified…so why so Many Sensitivities?

March 1st, 2013 · 130 Comments · Food for Thought

I used to get really upset when I was wrong. About anything. I’m not sure how I thought I should always be right, and I bet I put my poor parents through a lot with this tendency. A lot of people recognize that teenagers’ lack of life experience gives them that "invincible" mentality that makes [...]

10 Reasons I Drink Bone Broth

February 21st, 2013 · 48 Comments · Food for Thought, Frugality, Natural Health

Would you drink a mug of chicken bone broth? I never drank it before last week. In that week, my toddler got pneumonia, my second grader threw up, my preschooler coughed for days on end, my husband coughed…and I would get a tickle of a sore throat now and then. It always went away. Let [...]
