If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feedThere’s a reminder after this post so read the whole thing, k? Have you ever read the label on the factory made stuff? Awful! All manner of artificialness. Artificial sweetener, artificial colors, to be completely truthful, I can’t even read my label anymore. [...]

Let’s try this again, shall we?
OK, I’d like to report that I’m totally organized and effectively prioritized but that would be a bald faced lie. The thing is, if I’m gonna spend great gobs of time posting to facebook, then I could just cut that out (mostly, I mean it IS facebook) and that would free up enough time to [...]
Homemade, Wholesome Hot Cocoa
I’ve been wanting to make a cocoa mix for the kids for the cold.COLD.cold weather we’re having, but have been terribly discouraged that all the recipes I’d found call for non-dairy creamer. Ever wonder to yourself, “Hey, Self, if it’s not dairy then just what IS it?” Well, I checked. It’s nuclear waste. So, I [...]
Mad Cow Disease
Anita said: I need you to post something on PMS as you get closer to menopause. I am 45, baby boy is 13 months and we are still nursing….he is up WAY too much at night, so I don’t sleep much and then can’t sleep when he does! At certain times of the month things [...]
Crockpot Applesauce
Remember when I made applesauce and canned it last January? Ooooooh! That was some mighty delicious applesauce. And pretty easy to make. Of course I complicated things by canning the results. (We ate all that applesauce up way before it would have spoiled w/o canning.) But still, it’s an easy and cheap way to get [...]
Souped Up My Neti Pot!
I have had the awfullest sinus infection of all time these last couple of days! I get them with unfortunate frequency due to my allergies. I have a bit of optimism on that front, I’m hoping I’ll get some relief (any relief) when we move out of town. San Antonio is notorious for allergens! This [...]
Homemade Dog Food
Question Everything Point #1 Folks selling stuff do not have your best intrest at heart. They have your money at heart. How to get your money into their wallet, that is. Point #2 I have my doubts about the quality of ANY factory produced dog and cat food. (think China) Point #3 My hubs’ mom [...]
Surprise!
Have you switched to sea salt yet? Did you realise that Morton’s iodized salt has sugar as an ingredient? I’m not trying to ruin your day, but, sugar is in everything. Either sugar or HFCS. We really have to be diligent about reading those labels.
Sourdough Copycat
She copied my no-poo and my solar oven. Well, fair is fair, huh? I’m copying her sourdough. Y’all read my friend KimC @ Life in a Shoe, right? For those of you who don’t know, Kim and I are good friends IRL. And part of the reason we are such good friends is that we [...]
The Neezle
We are allergy folks. We suffer the allergies, seasonal. I try to avoid the harsh allergy meds, because the side effects kinda mimic allergy symptoms anyway. (crazy, huh?) But one useful thing I have found for the kids is The Neezle. Don’t run off and google neezle, it’s a made up word. Sally Mae comes [...]
