Before I get into sharing links, here is our family's Christmas card. Isn't it beautiful? It was designed by Angela of Tilley Claire's, who actually used to be a contributing writer here on Keeper of the Home. These days, you can find her designing gorgeous greeting cards that you can print yourself. We've done a lot of things for cards in previous years, including just choosing one of the basic options from somewhere like Costco or Walmart and sticking a photo in it (knowing that [...]
Written by Kate Tietje, Contributing Writer It's winter time (already! I'm still in denial!) and we're in the thick of the "sick season." In fact, we've just gotten over our first round of "major" colds. That's no fun. We choose not to use any form of over-the-counter or other pharmaceutical products in our home -- at least not without an excellent reason (and we haven't found one in the last three years). Certainly we don't for the run-of-the-mill winter blahs, like colds, flu, stomach viruses, [...]
Written by Brandy, Contributing Writer It's that time of year again. The season that many moms dread for their families - cold and flu season. Each year I review my old list and research new ways to try and keep our family as healthy as possible. It's hard enough when a family of four or five gets sick. But when you are a large family of nine or ten (or more), it's even tougher as the illness just seems to circulate through the home, hitting [...]
Fall is here, and with it comes the usual season of colds and flus. Many of us are searching for more natural ways to treat sickness when it arises, and the good news is that you don’t have to be a herbalist, naturopath or health kook to use home remedies that really work. There are many home remedies out there that are difficult to make, full of expensive and exotic ingredients, or that have questionable results or even safety concerns. Happily, there are also many [...]
I am continually amazed and grateful to discover all of the simple, natural ways that God has given us to stay healthy and to deal with sickness, injuries and symptoms when they do occur. I have personally begun to venture more and more into the vast array of natural remedies and holistics methods of healing over the past 5 years or so. Though I still haven't been able to delve into these studies quite as much as I have with nutrition and natural living in [...]
Thank you all for your kind words and your prayers! I put out a tweet on Thursday saying that my husband had been released from the hospital Wednesday evening, but there simply hasn't been time for a blog post until now and I'm sure many of you have been waiting for an update. Ryan is doing much better, though the health issue remains and no diagnosis was made or treatment given. We are pursuing his health further through alternative methods only, since conventional medicine does [...]
I say one mom's, because we're all different. We each have different ideas of what natural prevention even looks like. I'm not trying to tell you that I totally understand everything about swine flu and that I know exactly what you should do to prevent it. I don't. What I do know is that I've been looking into it for the sake of my own family, wanting to make sure that we all stay healthy, especially with a new baby and young ones in the [...]
