One of my favorite ways to stay organized has just gotten even better. I've been using ListPlanIt's printable lists and organizational pages in my homemaking binder, menu plans on my fridge, shopping lists tucked into my purse, and anywhere else I needed them for the last several years. Personally, I still love printable lists. I'm a pen and paper gal at heart. These days, though, I'm sort of without my pen and paper. As we're traveling this year, we don't have printer access, nor do [...]
Written by Stephanie Langford, Creator of Keeper of the Home Although I am in love with using natural remedies, including herbs and essential oils, I have remained skeptical about just how much of a difference the particular brand of oils that you use really makes. Perhaps you, like me, have heard what you deem to be "hype" about this brand or that one, and wonder if it's there's really anything to it or if it makes no difference. If I'm being honest, that's how I [...]
By Diana, Contributing Writer I can't believe it's been a week since Thanksgiving. I had a wonderful time planning and preparing a real food feast for my family and friends. I spent two days in preparation that included a slow roasted pastured turkey; sourdough crackers and rolls; labneh (yogurt) cheese; roasted brussels sprouts with onions and bacon; sweet potatoes with fresh cranberries in a real maple syrup; mashed potatoes drenched in butter; and for dessert, pie – oh sweet pie. As much as I love the holiday [...]
I'm the queen of making lofty goals that never come to fruition. Being a particularly ambitious and driven person, I tend to shoot for the starts. I write up fancy plans, reorganize my schedule, print up pretty calendars and goal charts and dive right in. None of this is bad; in fact, being goal oriented and aiming high is a good thing! The problem is that my exuberance often exceeds my capability to follow through. Time and again, my lofty plans fall flat. Over the [...]
A common sentiment when it comes to eating real, whole, from-scratch foods is that (while we know they're good for us) they can be time consuming to prepare. It's a real deterrent for a lot of people who want to eat better, but feel they just don't have the time and energy to do it. I totally get that. As I shared in my "day in the life" post this week, my life is often busy, and at times, it's downright hectic. There are many [...]
If you're in the process of switching over to more natural, organic products, Jenuinely Pure is a perfect place to begin with products that are similar to the conventional products you're used to, but with an entirely different (and better) ingredient list! There are plenty of DIY skincare and cleaning recipes out there, but I know that some of you lack the time or the inclination to do so. What you would rather find are truly natural, non-toxic and nourishing products to purchase, with the same [...]
If you want skin care products that are: absolutely pure and non-toxic made with short and simple ingredient lists (that you can actually read and pronounce) that are gentle enough for the whole family ... then you'll probably like today's giveaway from Apple Valley Natural Soap! There are a growing number of companies making "natural" and "organic" skin care products. Many of them are now brand names that we are familiar with and they line the health food store aisles. Many of these products are [...]
Finding a toothpaste that met all of my requirements hasn't been easy. I wanted something that: had no fluoride had no toxic ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate had no glycerin (which can coat teeth and interfere with the work that saliva is meant to do to help protect teeth from decay) wasn't homemade (I know it works very well for many people, and there's even a popular recipe on this website, but my family hasn't loved it to this point) aided the remineralization process, actually [...]
