This herbal tea for heartburn relief soothed me during my latest heartburn issues. Thankfully, the only time in life I've ever suffered from heartburn is when I was pregnant. I remember how uncomfortable (and shocked) I was to be experiencing it. It's actually a pretty common ailment among pregnant women. After experiencing relatively minimal heartburn during pregnancy, I was able to sympathize much more with my husband who has suffered from severe acid reflux for years now. He's done a lot of research on treating acid reflux and had great success in greatly minimizing acid reflux using some basic dietary ...Read More

Yes, treating Lyme without antibiotics is possible. Let's take a closer look at how you can do this. There's a lot of conflicting information out there about lyme disease. Lyme isn't a chronic condition vs. Lyme can certainly be chronic.

Mom’s Essential Oil Cheat Sheet
This Mom's Essential Oil Cheat Sheet FREE printable will help make essential oils easier for mom, dad, and the whole family and household. When I first started using essential oils, I didn't use them on or around my kids at all. I was a little terrified the oils might somehow hurt or damage my kids. Turns out my intuition to be careful around my kids was good, but a little over the top. As I've learned more about essential oils and safety, I've found it is important to be careful with essential oils around kids. You can't just treat kids like mini-adults. It's important to always dilute your oils when using them ...Read More
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (grain-free & low-carb)
Cookies needs to be pumped full of butter, white flour, and sugar to be delicious, right? WRONG! These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are going to "rock your face off" (as my husband would say). What screams October more than pumpkin? Nothing. And my kids gobbled these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies up as soon as they came out of the oven. So I had to make another batch. Looking for more gluten-free recipes and resources? This Everything Gluten Free page is a library of everything gluten free we’ve worked on. Gobbling them up right out of the oven really isn't the best idea. These cookies have a coconut ...Read More
Why You Should Use Sugar Body Scrub (+ a killer scrub recipe)
The sugar scrubs you buy at the store can be quite expensive. The good thing is they are easy and cheap to make (see the simply recipe at the bottom of this article). But why should you use sugar scrubs in the first place? As most of you probably know, scrubs for your body, face, scalp, lips, feet, and hands exfoliate your skin, clearing away dead skin cells. This is important because... As you age, your skin cells don't regenerate as fast as they used to, leaving your skin feeling dry. Exfoliating removes old cells allowing new ones to generate easier. As old cells build up on the surface of your ...Read More
Mental Focus Essential Oil Blend
I have a young man who often gets distracted. He's incredibly bright and has excelled in school, but we've struggled with focus. Sometimes this has much longer days of school work than he likes. Well, if I'm being absolutely truthful, I probably dislike it more than he does. I hate feeling like the nagging taskmaster when it comes to school. Give me a shout-out if you're a homeschool mama that can relate ;) Because we homeschool, this has enabled us to try different strategies and settings for school work. I honestly thought quarantining him to a room by himself would help. His brothers wouldn't be a visible ...Read More
