You guys are going to love this post from my dear friend and fellow essential oil enthusiast, Dana Moore. If you know me, you know that I'm anything BUT a DIY'er. In fact, I run the complete opposite direction when it comes to making anything crafty or creative. However, there are 2 exceptions to my DIY avoidance. 1. If it involves making food because I do a lot of that! And 2. a new found obsession with making my own cleaning and body ...
How to Stay Healthy During Cold and Flu Season
Before you stock up on Kleenex, Tylenol and all of the other conventional cold and flu remedies, let’s remember the ol’ Hippocratic Oath, “First, do no harm.” I’m not saying that Kleenex is harmful, but Tylenol sure can be, especially when taken often because it can create more damage and stress to your already weakened immune system. In fact, most over-the-counter medications simply band-aid the symptoms without addressing the root cause ...
How We Thrived Through Cancer as a Family
I recently read over some of my old journals that I wrote during Kicker’s treatment...amazing how it not only feels like it was yesterday, but how I vividly remember what things looked like for our family!

Guest Post: The Benefits of Physical Activity for Cancer
As I walked into the Nutritional Therapy Conference Vendor Area, I saw a man crawling around on all fours. He had a huge crowd gathered around him, and of course, I was curious. So, I joined in...and quickly learned that this man was brilliant! Mr. Darryl Edwards, the brilliant mind behind Primal Play, not only taught how to use your body in movements that built muscle and promoted longevity, but most importantly, he promoted HAVING FUN ...
How to Make an Easy, Inexpensive and Healthy School Lunch
We’re coming in hot to another school year, and I don’t know about you, but I have all the feelings about this. I’m sad that summer is coming to an end, but I always appreciate getting back into routine and schedules. I’m also not mad about the fact that I won’t hear both of my kids telling me they’re “HUNGRY AGAIN, MOM” 48 times a day. As I think about going back to school…and hungry kids…I realize that packing lunches can be a tedious ...
Guest Post: Cancer and EMFs – How to Clean Up Dirty Electricity
When my son, Kicker, was first diagnosed with Leukemia, I researched for hours and hours. I wanted to figure out why my baby had cancer. One of the most common findings that kept coming up was his excess exposure to EMFs. I know we may never know the EXACT reason or cause behind his cancer. However, I do know that more and more research points directly to a correlation between childhood Leukemia and EMFs. I had the privilege of meeting ...
