I began using a nebulizer when Kicker started going through cancer treatment. We used it to help support his body's ability to detoxify and to minimize any bacteria that could possibly build up in the lungs. In case you didn't know, when a child receives chemotherapy, doctors are concerned with the potential development of parasites in the lungs. This is one of the reasons why they put children on antibiotics. However, we decided to take ...
My Holiday Gift Guide
On November 1st…and much to my family’s dismay…I wake everyone up by singing Christmas carols. My husband is actually a firm believer in not acknowledging Christmas until after we celebrate Thanksgiving. I, on the other hand, think Jesus deserves two months of celebration. So, we meet in the middle! I can diffuse Holiday Joy and Holiday Peace Essential Oils and play Christmas music, but I’m not allowed to decorate or get a tree until ...

Then, as we jump into our filled and committed weeks, we're still ready...even when this mama is tired. This coconut milk is literally the easiest thing to make, and it's perfect for those that cannot handle dairy, or even raw milk. We especially love it with my grain-free ...
Guest Post: Spring into Cleaning – Your Complete Non-Toxic Guide to Cleaning and Decluttering Your Home
Over the last few weeks of being homebound, I've found myself spring cleaning. I don't know about you, but I just love the feeling of an organized and freshly cleaned house with less clutter and dust-free baseboards. I've previously shared that the average home contains between 500 - 1000 chemicals, which is very disturbing, especially because those toxins have a negative impact on your liver, kidneys and immune system. So, when I ...
