  • Smoked salmon quiche with spinach…and more!

    I’ve been a tad obsessed with quiche lately…it’s a great comfort food and without the crust (or with a coconut or almond flour crust) it’s pretty primal and low-carb. I love smoked salmon (hot smoked or cold smoked) but since I’m trying to avoid eating bagels (my favorite carrier for smoked salmon) I decided to…

  • My journey to Wicca…

    Past Lives From a young age, I’ve experienced vivid memories of past lives. Once, at age four, I led my mother to the spot where I said I had once died and described my former death and past life in detail.  The memories and experiences have faded as I’ve grown older but I still have strong feelings…

  • Remember, we’re only human.

    I recently had a string of bad experiences on Ebay. I’ve been a member for over 15 years so what happened kind of shocked me.  But what shocked me even more was the way people reacted and treated me. I had a ton of Proactiv products I wasn’t using (too much auto-ship) so I decided…

  • Lavender to the rescue!

    I have another personal success story…really excited about it. I have a bunch of spots on my arms, shoulders and upper back that have bothered me for years.  I’ve had three skin cancer checks and have been told they are anything from acne (no), normal moles (totally not, I really don’t think so) to keratosis pilaris…

  • Homemade Liquid Soap

    It’s no secret I’m more than a little obsessed with essential oils!  I signed up with my essential oil company a couple years ago, primarily so I could order at wholesale prices.  I had used EOs for years before a friend introduced me to dōTERRA, but I had never felt comfortable taking them internally before I found…

  • Emergency meal planning…

    I’ve mentioned before that my family recently suffered a 35% pay cut.  We had no notice and a tiny bit of severance, and this all started during the holidays and just a couple months after we closed on our home.  We had some legal issues related to the home we were leasing and we’d just plunked down…

  • Essential Oils: Tension Blend

    Since I always have been somewhat of a mess physically AND emotionally, I have a lot to say about how essential oils have changed my life for the better.  Since childhood I’ve suffered from an array of maladies…anxiety, panic attacks, asthma, frequent bronchitis and pneumonia, knee pain, lower back pain, joint pain, migraines, cluster headaches,…

  • How I reduced my kids’ wardrobes AND my stress…

    My kids have too many clothes.  Waaaaaay too many.  Especially my nine year old daughter.  When my older kids (now 15 and 18) were younger, we were pretty broke and I couldn’t buy a lot of nice clothes for them.  My mom loved to buy them clothes and that was nice, but it was never what I…

  • Resolutions for 2014

    I’m not a huge fan of New Years’ Resolutions.  They are really easy to break. It’s too simple to mess up on say, January 2, and then the whole list is shot to hell.  Am I right? That’s usually what happens to me.  The past several years, I’ve switched to goals that I start working…

  • Aim for empty (or close to it!)…

    For years I went back and forth between stockpiling (bought with big savings) or just having enough to get through a certain period of time.  I decided a couple years ago that I was finished stockpiling, both with regards to food and household items.  I do make exceptions, like when canned pumpkin was on sale for…
