How an Elimination Diet Cured my Daughter’s Eczema and Gastrointestinal Tract {GUEST POST}

December 16th, 2011 · 83 Comments · Natural Health

This is a guest post from Nikki at Christian Mommy Blogger. Maybe “cured” is a strong word. She still has eczema. She still has gastrointestinal tract issues. She has “struggled” since day one, however, I finally found the cure for my baby’s eczema – through diet. Here is my story (the Reader’s Digest condensed version): [...]

Have a cow. Not in the style of Homer Simpson, but more like Old McDonald. Whenever I think about stockpiling an emergency store of dairy, like cheese, yogurt, and milk (which, um, my kids LIVE on!), I look at all the powdered milk options and figure the very best way to have milk on hand [...]

April 26th, 2011 · 51 Comments · Food for Thought

I hardly feel worthy to introduce this panel of cattle farmers from across the nation. Seven farmers agreed to answer my in-depth questions all about how they farm, what they feed their animals, what happens when they get sick, environmental stewardship, and their hopes and concerns for the future of American farming.

Some Changes at the Kimball House

September 22nd, 2010 · 88 Comments · Big Changes, My Story

I have some news. I hope you won’t be disappointed about the delayed schedule, but I won’t be baking bread as often as I promised this fall. And there’s a good reason for it. I know, I know, you’re all thinking there won’t be buns in my oven because there’s…you know…a bun in the oven. [...]

June 21st, 2010 · 63 Comments · Monday Missions

Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to examine, and hopefully improve, the milk your family drinks. Impact Ratings: Level of Commitment: Making Strides (Leap of Faith?) From store brand skim to fresh milk from a local farm and everything in between, the vast array of milk choices is dizzying. There are those who [...]
