Sugar Substitutes

Sugar Substitutes

I’ve had this topic on my ‘to blog about’ list for a long time.  I just keep putting it off because there is so much to say that I have no idea where to start!  I think a lot of my followers and readers already know a lot about this subject, but it is definitely(…)

Mommy Time

Mommy Time

One of the super mommies in my Holistic Mom’s Group sent out an email a few days ago about needing “mommy time” or “me time”. She asked the group what that looked like for each of us and how we made it happen.  She also brought up finances and affording that time and how to(…)

What are they doing to our food?

What are they doing to our food?

I was just alerted by a dear friend that there is a new petition that has been submitted to the FDA to have the identity of milk changed so that it would include 17 additives including aspartame.  If this was to pass, then these additives can be added to milk and the consumer would never(…)

Root Canal

Root Canal

So what prompted this post?  Well… just before Christmas, dear hubby tree climber chipped a tooth (not doing tree work… but eating a quesadilla!).  Both of us have a few fillings, but neither one of us have had many extensive problems with our teeth, praise God.  So we really had no idea what a chipped(…)

Homeschooling 101

Homeschooling 101

I’m sure (99.9% sure) this won’t be the only post on homeschooling.  We have entered into this venture at the start of the school year with Tonchi and I’m thinking it’s about to become my life for the next 15+ years… if we go this route with all the kids.  WOW!  Really… 15+ years?  I(…)

Cooking oils

Cooking oils

  A dear friend of mine recently emailed me stating she was looking into cooking oils, what options there are and what would be best for different purposes. I emailed her a quick reply with what we use, but I thought maybe there are others out there who have the same questions….

So What’s Wrong with Sugar?

So What’s Wrong with Sugar?

  Last week while I was at work I was talking to a co-worker about our family’s diet changes.  She had complained that she had been trying so hard to lose weight, but it just wasn’t happening.  I was describing the changes we had made over the last year and mentioned that my post baby(…)

Genetic Roulette

Genetic Roulette

This documentary, Genetic Roulette, I just finished watching today and it was excellent.  Yes, it is just another documentary on GMOs, but it is very good, interesting and a great reminder to be more vigilant in avoiding them.  I also felt it was more encouraging that there is hope that we can change things for ourselves(…)

Constipation in Kids

Constipation in Kids

This series has been prolonged and I got off topic and side tracked many times!  However, I think this is the last kids and health topic that I definitely wanted to cover. However, if there is a topic that you are interested in or would like information on, please let me know and I’ll write(…)

The Gerson Miracle

The Gerson Miracle

I’ve been on a bit of a kick lately wanting to start working through watching the rest of my list of free documentaries.  A while back I made a list from Hulu and Snagfilms that caught my attention.  I haven’t watched any of them recently, but I’ve been wanting to work on it! One night(…)
