"Hi, my name is Stephanie and I like to make things that normal people just buy from the store." I'm not sure at what point in my natural living journey I became a "make-it-myself" junkie. The first time that you create a product you would otherwise have purchased, and then marvel at how awesome (and cheap and natural and easy) what you just made is, I think that's when the magic (and then, the addiction) begins. Being on the road this year, I have far [...]
I was hesitant back when I bought my very first eBook, and even more so when my husband encouraged me to purchase a Kindle a couple years back. The feeling of holding a book, its pages beneath my fingers, being able to flip from section to section, and all of those tangibles that make a book a "book" had me questioning whether eBooks were really something I would ever come to appreciate in the same manner. Some of you may be feeling the same way [...]
Let's face it. Being a homemaker is a hard job. (Can I get an amen?) Not only is it the hardest role I've ever taken on, but it's also one of the most important. Homemaking encompasses how I care for my family, how I nurture my relationship with my husband, how I raise my children, how I steward the time and resources that I've been given. It's this incredibly crucial role, which ultimately impacts the legacy I leave through my life. That's big, right? But [...]

Note from Stephanie: Many years ago, I connected with fellow blogger Donielle Baker through the realization that we shared a common struggle of infertility due to having a diagnosis of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). What bonded us further was that we were both using real foods, herbal remedies and supplements, and making natural lifestyle changes to address the hormone imbalances of PCOS-- and wonder of wonders, these lifestyle changes really worked! While I continued to focus on healthy living and homemaking in general, Donielle saw [...]
Happy new year, everyone! You know, I tell people all the time that (aside from my job as a full time mom and homemaker, which is the VERY best thing I could ever imagine doing), I'm pretty sure I have the best job in the world.
