Antibiotic Alternatives

I had home-schooling in my mind before my daughter started school, but she wanted to go. She was excited to go...and so go she did. What surprised me was how pear-shaped it all went and how I hesitated to take her out. Despite how bad it was, I hesitated, because I...
The Power of Smell – Aromatic-Kinesiology Reveals

Is your teenager talking?
I've had a bit of an epiphany. Relationships may not be my strong point, but I've been doing some reflecting lately on how people communicate and react. When things don't go your way, how do you react? When you're stressed or challenged, how do you choose to deal with...
Nourishing YOU
