<p>Are you one of the countless women who has <strong>suffered from infertility or miscarriages</strong>, and is looking for natural help with conceiving or carrying a baby to term?</p>
<p>Or are you <strong>currently pregnant or planning for future children</strong>, and wanting to know how to best prepare your body and give your baby the very best chance of a healthy start?</p>
<h3>For women in either situation, I am so excited to announce to you that my dear blogging friend, Donielle of Naturally Knocked Up, has created an incredible resource for you, the <a href="http://www.naturallyknockedup.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=1010">Naturally Knocked Up Ecourse</a>!</h3>
<p>Personally, I fall into both categories. <strong>I have <a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/health-and-natural-remedies/pcos">struggled with infertility due to a very common disorder known as PCOS</a> (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome), which involves disrupted hormone levels, infrequent or non-existent ovulation, and many other nasty side effects and long term risks.</strong> You may be particularly surprised to know this about me because I am the blessed mother of 3 beautiful children, and we hope to have many more children still!</p>
<p>About 8 years ago, my journey to better health through real food nutrition and natural living began. <strong>Since that time, my health has done a 180 degree turn around.</strong> My weight has stabilized, many health problems have disappeared, my cycles have gradually regulated more and more, and I have been able to conceive and carry to term my precious children.<span id="more-5980"></span></p>
<h3><a href="http://www.naturallyknockedup.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=1010"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5985" title="eCourseAd-160x600 copy" src="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/eCourseAd-160x600-copy.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="600" /></a>How This Course Came About</h3>
<p><strong>Donielle's story is not so different from mine.</strong> She also suffered from the effects of PCOS, which resulted in infertility, and catapulted her into a journey of studying how to regulate her body and regain her fertility through food and lifestyle. Last year she was blessed with her second child, a healthy baby girl.</p>
<p>Her own experience pushed her to create the blog Naturally Knocked Up, where she shares her research in order to help others <em>increase the odds of conception through natural living and nourishing foods.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.naturallyknockedup.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=1010">Her eCourse</a> is an extension of her blog.<strong> She wanted a way to help women delve even more deeply into the issues that she was learning and writing about, and to walk alongside them as they made these changes which would improve their health and their fertility.</strong></p>
<p>She also has a passion to help women learn to prepare their bodies to be able to nourish their little ones in utero, so that they could be given the best possible opportunity to be born with abundant good health and free of many of the common diseases, disorders and challenges that the general population of children face today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/excalibur-dehyrator-white.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5738" title="excalibur dehyrator white" src="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/excalibur-dehyrator-white.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="197" /></a></p>
<p>It's been a hard secret to keep, but at last I can announce that after the smashing success of our <a href="http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/">Excalibur Dehydrator</a> giveaway last fall, it's time to give away another one!</p>
<p><strong>I've owned a 9-Tray Excalibur for about a year and a half now.</strong> I keep it on my kitchen counter the way that most people have a microwave or toaster oven. Yes, I use it almost that often!</p>
<p>As someone who uses my dehydrator so extensively, I can't imagine going back to the cheaper model I used to have. This is the ultimate dehydrator. It is absolutely top-notch and I cannot say enough good things about it.</p>
<h3>In my previous review, I mentioned the main reasons that I chose to go with an <a href="http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/">Excalibur Dehydrator</a> in particular:</h3>
<p><span id="more-5720"></span></p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li><strong>Large, square shaped trays</strong> (as opposed to round with a hole in the center). The means no more wonky-shaped fruit leather. No more grains falling through the cracks into the dehydrator motor. Less wasted space in arranging items on the tray.</li>
<li><strong>Adjustable trays.</strong> You can remove the tray above if you're drying something tall to give it more space. You can remove all of the trays to do something like mason jars with yogurt, or for rising bread. You can remove the bottom half of the trays to do pint sized jars of yogurt and still keep drying nuts or herbs or fruit on the upper trays. The possibilities are endless!</li>
<li><strong>Trays that slide out through the front.</strong> With a round dehydrator, I had to lift off all of the top trays in order to access something in the middle or on the bottom. With the front access, I can just open it up and pull out the exact tray that I want to see.</li>
<li><strong>A heating/fan unit along the back, rather than down at the bottom.</strong> This allows for more even heating of the entire dehydrator and items that finish more or less at the same time.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/resources/excalibur-dehydrator">Read the rest of my previous review</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cherry-tomatoes-in-dehydrator.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1286" title="cherry-tomatoes-in-dehydrator" src="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cherry-tomatoes-in-dehydrator.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" /></a></p>
<p><strong>There are so many things that I use my dehydrator for!</strong> These days, the most common is probably for making crispy nuts (nuts that are soaked and then dried). I also use it frequently for making granola, for soaking and dehydrating oats for granola bars, for drying herbs or vegetables, for making dried apples or pears or fruit leathers, for making "cheese" crackers... just to name a few.</p>
<p>One additional feature about the model that is being given away is a <strong>26 hour adjustable timer</strong>, so that you can set the dehydrator to turn off while you are out or during the night, so that you don't over-dry things or waste energy! This is new since I bought mine, but it would be such a handy feature to have!</p>
<p>To learn more about my thoughts on the Excalibur Dehydrator, definitely <a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/resources/excalibur-dehydrator">check out my review</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Another great place to learn more is in <a href="http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/movie/index.html">this promotional video</a>.</strong> I wanted to embed it into this post, but wasn't able to. It's worth clicking through and visiting their website, though, so that you can get more of a feel for how the dehydrator functions and what makes it unique.</p>

I've talked many times about the importance of using natural skin care products, because the toxic chemicals used in conventional products absorb through the skin and into the blood stream.
Many of you have already made the switch over to name brand companies making more natural/organic products, which is fantastic. Did you know, though, that there [...]<p><p>Our Sponsors:<p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/butter-bar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5725" title="butter-bar" src="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/butter-bar.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="164" /></a></p>
<p>I've talked many times about <a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2007/12/what-are-you-putting-onto-your-skin-and-into-your-body.html">the importance of using natural skin care products</a>, because the toxic chemicals used in conventional products absorb through the skin and into the blood stream.</p>
<p>Many of you have already made the switch over to name brand companies making more natural/organic products, which is fantastic. <strong>Did you know, though, that there are many smaller companies making equally amazing (and sometimes even better!) products that are completely pure, wholesome and even luxurious?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.grahamgardens.com/index.htm">Graham Gardens</a> is one of these diamonds in the rough. Many of you may not have heard of them (yet!), but they are a family-owned business with an extensive lineup of completely wholesome, high quality skin care products that really, truly work!</p>
<p>Their products are made entirely with ingredients like beeswax, organic shea butter, extra virgin olive oil, organic cocoa butter, organic jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, along with several other lovely oils, as well as herbs and essential oils. <strong>They never use cheap filler ingredients, so each and every product is 100% full of natural, effective ingredients that are completely safe and non-toxic.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-5717"></span></p>
<p>They aren't listed in the <a href="http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/">Skin Deep database</a> yet, but from what I can tell of their ingredient lists and how they rank in the database, their products would rank extremely well (with a low hazard rating). You can see the <a href="http://www.grahamgardens.com/Ingredients%20Reference.htm">list of their ingredients here</a>. <strong>Isn't it refreshing to find a company so upfront about their ingredients and so committed to using only the best? </strong></p>
<p>They carry a wide range of lotion bars, salves, bug block (natural insect repellent!), lip balms and body oil. They have also just come out with a Grease Monkey soap for Father's Day, and I hear they're working on a line of baby products!</p>
<h3>Today I have an absolutely incredible gift basket from <a href="http://www.grahamgardens.com/index.htm">Graham Gardens</a> to giveaway. Seriously. You want to win this!</h3>

As a homeschooling mom myself, I've found that it's not always easy to find all of the curriculum and resources that you're looking for in one place.
So it was wonderful to realize that one of my current advertisers, FBS Books, not only has almost all of the curriculum that I have chosen for our next [...]<p><p>Our Sponsors:<p>

<p>As a homeschooling mom myself, I've found that it's not always easy to find all of the curriculum and resources that you're looking for in one place.</p>
<p>So it was wonderful to realize that one of my current advertisers, <a href="http://www.fbs-store.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c17edffb8cab/shopdata/index.shopscript">FBS Books</a>, not only has almost all of the curriculum that I have chosen for our next school year, but they even carry the one resource that I couldn't find anywhere else!</p>
<p><em>(It's <a href="http://www.fbs-store.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c17edffb8cab/shopdata/index.shopscript">Leagues and Legends</a>-- geography for early elementary students, in case you were wondering)</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/FBS-125-Ad-April.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5364" title="FBS-125-Ad-April" src="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/FBS-125-Ad-April.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>They are a family-owned business, providing classical and conventional homeschool curricula. They carry all of the traditional school subjects, as well as Fine Arts, Foreign Language, Bible and Devotional, and even supplemental resources for lighter summer studying.</p>
<p>It was hard for me to decide what I loved more about FBS... their homeschool resources OR <a href="http://www.fbs-store.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c17edffb8cab/shopdata/index.shopscript">their homesteading resources</a>! You all know that I <a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2009/04/backyard-homestead-book.html">love me some homesteading books</a> (and of course they carry this book, too)!</p>
<p><span id="more-5699"></span></p>
<p>They have a wonderful selection of books on canning and preserving, gardening, raising animals, making cheese, and even traditional food classics like Nourishing Traditions and Real Food.</p>
<p>For my giveaway today, I get to feature another very fun part of their homestead collection: <strong>The Homestead Blessings videos</strong>!</p>
<p>These 1 hour videos each cover a different aspect of homesteading or homemaking, including Herbs, Gardening,  Bread Making, Cooking, Quilting and Soap Making (and more). There are 10 videos in all, and each one features mom Vicki and her 3 grown daughters, Jasmine, Hannah and CeCe.</p>
<p>Last week, Abbie and I were thrilled to receive our copy of The Art of Herbs. We watched it together and were promptly inspired to go pick the wild mint growing in our backyard to make fresh, iced mint tea. After watching the video, 5 year old Abbie is now a pro at making the tea herself and loves to make a jug for me!</p>
<p><strong>Take a look at this short promo video to get an idea of what these videos are all about:</strong></p>

<p>Do you love cloth diapering but wish that there was a more sustainable option?</p>
<p>Though I assumed that the PUL (polyurethane laminate) and microfleece fabrics used to make the cloth diapers I adore were not truly sustainable, I honestly hadn't put much thought or research into it. I was happy to have found a system that works to make cloth diapering a really fantastic option for us, and infinitely better than using disposables!</p>
<p><strong>However, my friend Laura decided that she was willing to do the research and face the hard facts about most of the cloth diapers products out on the market today.</strong> Here's what she learned:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Waterproof covers, pocket diapers and All-In-Ones (AI2s) rely on  synthetic materials.  Polyurethane laminate (PUL), nylon, microfleece,  microsuede, polyester, and microfiber are petroleum-derived materials.   Neither the products nor the processes used to create them are in the  best interest of babies (or the planet, for that matter).</em></p></blockquote>
<p>With this knowledge, she determined that there had to be more sustainable options out there, better for babies and the earth. Lo and behold, she found some and she founded <a href="http://www.edenclothdiapering.com/">Eden Sustainable Diapering Company</a> to share them with everyone else!</p>
<p><span id="more-5590"></span></p>
<p><strong>The video below showcases the products that Eden carries, and tells you a bit more about the why's and how's behind it all.</strong> You can also learn more about <a href="http://www.edenclothdiapering.com/pages/OurMission.htm">their mission and how they seek to be mindful stewards</a> in every aspect of how they run their company.</p>

<p>Laura kindly provided me with a starter package of diapers so that I could give them a whirl. I have been using the <a href="http://www.edenclothdiapering.com/i_12/Little-Beetle-Hemp-Trim.htm">Little Beetle Hemp Trim diaper</a> in Size 2 on 9 mth old Johanna (she's about 18-20 lbs and delightfully chunky). I am also using the <a href="http://www.edenclothdiapering.com/i_17/Little-Beetle-Organic-Merino-Wool-Jersey-Cover.htm">Little Beetle Organic Merino Wool Jersey Cover</a>, also in Size 2.</p>
<p>I've wanted to try wool covers for a long time, <strong>but was really hesitant about how to go about properly lanolizing them and was worried that the washing process would be tedious and difficult. I was wrong!</strong> Laura came over to my house and gave me a quick tutorial on how to do it, and it was so much easier than I thought.</p>
<p><strong>There are many reasons that I LOVE these diapers-- they're soft and comfy, they fit well, they're highly absorbent and don't leak at night, and of course the sustainability factor.</strong></p>
<p>One of the neatest things about the wool cover is that it doesn't need to be regularly washed (only once every week or two). I toss the wet hemp diaper into the wash with the rest of my diapers, but the wool cover can be used many times by simply laying it out to dry. By the time it's fully dry, it smells completely sweet and fresh and ready to use again!</p>
<p>Here are a few short tutorial videos that Laura has created, to show you just how fast and easy it is to care for wool:</p>

<p><strong>First of all, I've got two winners of a <a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2010/06/simplified-menu-planning-with-plan-to-eat-review-and-giveaway.html">1 year Plan to Eat meal planning membership</a>!</strong></p>
<p><em>Marla &amp; Destiny!</em></p>
<p>Congrats, ladies! I hope you enjoy your membership as much as I'm enjoying mine!</p>
<p>To those who didn't win, I would definitely suggest that you sign up for a <a href="http://www.plantoeat.com/X6yggLDyNA">free 30-day trial membership</a> if you haven't already. Give it a try and see if the drag and drop features don't help to make your menu planning an easier process!</p>
<p><em>(And if you've requested that I share my recipes with you... I promise, I will! I'm particularly busy this week, but as soon as I can I will share recipes with those who have asked me to!)</em></p>
<h3><strong>But Wait, There's More...</strong></h3>
<p>You will <strong>definitely</strong> want to be back here at Keeper of the Home next week, starting on Monday and every day for the rest of the week. Not that this little ol' blog isn't a happening place all the time (*smile*) but you really don't want to miss what's going on next week!</p>
<p>We have a big surprise for you that has been in the works since, oh, about February. (Nope, I'm not pregnant. Good guess, but not even close!)</p>
<p><strong>To share our surprise with you, we decided that we needed to have a big party. A really big one. </strong></p>
<p>We were brainstorming together a month or two ago, my hubby and I. We like to have bloggy meetings and have a grand time doing it. During one of these meetings, we realized that I was getting quite close to having written 1,000 posts.</p>
<p>1,000 posts. Wow. I didn't even know I had that much to say. (Apparently I do, and there's just no stopping it. You're all stuck with me now.)</p>
<p>Seemed to us that 1,000 posts was a significant milestone. Significant enough to want to throw the best ever Thank-You bash for our readers and highlight a few of the most amazing sponsors ever at the same time.</p>
<p>We put the two concepts together and came up with <strong>"The 1000th Post Party"</strong>. (Try saying that 3 times fast.)</p>
<p>We began yesterday with <a href="http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2010/06/learn-to-cook-nourishing-and-frugal-food-from-the-nourishing-gourmet-and-a-giveaway.html">a giveaway for a skookum ecourse</a>.<strong> On Monday we will continue to pull out all the stops with a new, high-value giveaway (of stuff that you will LOVE) each and every day, all the way through to the next Monday when we conclude with another fantastic ecourse!!! </strong></p>
<p>There is no end to the giveaway awesomeness at Keeper of the Home this month, ladies!</p>
<p><strong>To top it all off, we'll finally launch... ahem, I mean <em>announce</em> the big surprise! <em>(Oops... I think I just gave you a hint. :)) </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>See you Monday! </strong></p>
