When I’ve spent the night up with a baby, and the rest of the day is speeding by with my to-do list, I have a few favorite energy-boosters that I turn to. I prefer to avoid caffeine; instead I’d rather nourish my body with something more beneficial. (Of course, a nap/bit of rest is Continue reading 5 Natural Energy Boosters   My midwife and chiropractor each have given me the same encouragement over the past year: “Exercise/Stretch for Healing; Repair that Muscle Damage!” (“Ok, thanks,” I said. And proceeded to do nothing.) But by the time my maternity clothes were packed away (Thanks, Trina), my abdominal muscles still hadn’t healed.

While visiting with a friend the other day, she and I were comparing thoughts (as naturally-minded mamas do), on various family health needs, remedies, and supplements (and how to get the kids to take them). There’s always a balance, isn’t there? We want to nourish our families for optimal health, to provide them with nutrients Continue reading Frugal Wellness {Should I Take a Supplement?} It has been ages since I posted about our homemade toothpaste, and it has varied a bit over the years. I’ve updated it a bit with some healthy ingredients, and changed the flavor just for fun. It’s a bit of a combination between my original recipe and Beth & Stephanie’s. I kept the coconut oil, since it has Continue reading Homemade Cinnamon-Myrrh Toothpaste
