  • Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner Recipe

    Alternatives for commercial cleaners are growing in popularity, as more people realize how easy they are to make, and how much safer they are to use around the house!  I still use vinegar and baking soda a lot as a basic cleaner, but I also really like this simple, all-purpose cleaner recipe. It includes a number of bacteria-killers, including castile soap, tea tree oil, and vinegar.  Tea tree oil demonstrates antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal qualities, including against staph and ecoli, among other things.   I did find a medical report that said bacteria can develop resistance to tea tree oil if it’s used in concentrations below 4%.  My bottle is a 25%…

  • The Fluoride Question

    Fluoride can be a controversial topic.  As with so many things with life, many of us will have varying opinions.  I’m great with that.  My goal is to challenge us to ask questions and not simply accept the status quo, so we make informed decisions for our families. After that digression, back to fluoride.  🙂 In our society, we’re told by a number of dentists and water authorities that fluoride is a helpful and necessary part of our diet.   While it *might* prevent a couple of cavities when used topically, the negative effects of fluoride are so overwhelming that it’s far better to utilize other methods for cavity prevention…

  • Make-Your-Own All Natural Soda Alternative

    Most of us know that soda is bad for us.  Calcium leeching from our bones, too much sugar, that kind of thing.  And most of us drink it anyway.  I’ve shared before how Coke was one of the hardest things for me to give up. The drink you see in the glass above is a healthy, all-natural, carbonated alternative that I make at home!  It takes about 5 minutes a day to set up a new, quart-size batch.  I can also flavor it all sorts of ways, so no two are just alike.  My husband loves it and drinks about a quart a day. Water kefir is a fermented beverage…

  • Check out my guest post at Frugally Sustainable!

    I’m excited to be a guest poster today over at one of my favorite blogs, Frugally Sustainable! Today, I’d like to share my story with you in hopes that it will inspire and encourage you! As we’ve been on our journey towards living a healthier, more natural lifestyle, I’ve been excited that our need for the grocery store (and other stores) has drastically reduced! You see, I used to be a super coupon clipper. Every Sunday, I would eagerly dash down the stairs of my apartment to get the latest paper, and comb through the inserts. Then I’d pull up my grocery store match ups and make my list of all…
