Some time ago, my husband and I bought a home in a cookie-cutter neighborhood. We are what you would call, “project people” and were excited to make the place our own. One of the first areas we decided to improve was the landscaping. I remember being pregnant and spraying Roundup all over our yard to kill the existing grass (what was I thinking?!). We went all in and installed a sprinkler system, airated the yard, and spread premium dollar topsoil so we could plant that lucious, monochromatic tall fescue seed. I faithfully watered that grass for months using my handy dandy in-ground sprinkle ..read more

A lot of people with mental health issues use intensive outpatient programs as a way to bridge going from being inpatient (whether voluntary or involuntary) back to their normal lives. While I was in the hospital, my family and I decided this would be the best option for me, and I just recently finished it. I think it is important for me to share the pros and cons of a mental health intensive outpatient program while it’s still fresh on my mind. Hopefully, this testimony may help you make the decision on whether or not it’s right for you. The information in this post is my personal experi ..read more

I am a homeschooling mother who cares deeply about nurturing my children’s intellect. Ensuring literacy and mathmatic proficency is the foundation of our daily educational experience, so we spend a lot of time on monotonous tasks, which can be very boring. I am well aware of how quickly things change in our world, which means that my children may not be able to rely on the knowledge they acquire in their childhood to carry them to success their entire lives. I am not be able to predict and teach everything they will need to know to be successful in this life but I can help them develop critic ..read more

Normally, I like write about a day in a life as a mom, natural health philosphy, and holistic family life. In 2020, I found myself go into a hiatus from putting out much content because I was in complete and utter shock at world events. My heart was so heavy and my mind so confused, I almost felt like giving up on this little nook I have carved out on the world wide web.  I quit social media, and literally lost my health from the stress of my awakening. I have been on a journey of healing, connection with God, and a deeper understanding of the world ever since. Now that I had time to re ..read more

I like to consider myself a prepared person. I bring plenty of snacks, extra clothes, and an alternative activity idea in case the first one doesn’t work out. The days of feeling like I have it all together due to rudimentary mommy preparedness concepts are over now. I have now upped my game to the NEXT LEVEL into full blown survival mommy by purchasing a pressure canner. I personally believe now it the time for mothers to start thinking the same way the mothers who lived through the Great Depression era. Every prepared mom needs a pressure canner and if you don’t have one, you are missing out ..read more

It isn’t a secret that we are living through a pivotal moment in world history. Rules of engagement were set long ago in the modern world. Leaders are elected by The People to deal with Geopolitics so the People go about their day and do the grunt work to actually keep the machine running. In a functional first world country, good honest people can work for a living wage, participate in commerce, and feel safe to walk down the street in our cities. In my country, we even have this saying called “The American Dream” which means that if you work really hard, you can achieve something even greate ..read more

We are living through extraordinary times as an ordinary people. I don’t know what country you are from that may be reading this. I don’t know what your values and obligations are. So to be clear, this article is written to people of faith who value family, peace, moral character, and individual liberty. I am speaking as an American, but perhaps my thoughts will also help others around the world. In 2022, the people who will populate the future are the people that quickly get up to speed on how to protect their children. I wish I could be more optimistic for my countrymen. I love my country. I ..read more

Our Heavenly Father is a God of peace and prosperity. He wants us to enjoy our lives as we live to serve Him. A big factor to a good life is a life in good health but these days it seems like so many people are suffering! As the world gets scarier, I find myself doing something I should have done much more of in the past and that is to align my life closer with God. So today I would like to dive into what the word of God says about our health. We will discover why we may not be hitting the mark of God’s vision for our lives. And then I want to explore just a few ways to win the spiritual compe ..read more

For the past few years, I have struggled with a chronic inflammatory skin rash. What started out as a small patch of eczema on my stomach, transformed over time into a widespread inflammatory and infectious problem where I experienced a lot of discomfort and pain. Some of the things I experienced were chronic reoccuring yeast rashes, mast cell activation, and atopic dermatitis. I find it ironic that a person like myself, that has studied natural healing and so much about health in general, has suffered from such a wide variety of health problems the last few years. I guess this is God’s way ..read more

After over a year and a half of planning and working hard, I am super excited to share a few pictures of our off-grid short bus conversion. It isn’t quite finished yet, so this post will be part one of a series. I will do my best to provide links to the products we used for our conversion, but if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I earn commission through my links. Please read the full disclosure for more info. This year has been a whirlwind raising babies, fighting for civil liberties, and working on the bus. I am proud of all that we have accomplished and can’t wait to c ..read more
