Homemade Children’s Cough Syrup

Homemade Children’s Cough Syrup

Man I dread those middle of the night wake ups. Don't you? No mom likes to hear the sound of her child coughing.  Especially when the coughing starts in the middle of a peaceful slumber.  But a child's cough knows no manners and middle of the night wake ups are...

Homemade Sanitizer Spray

Homemade Sanitizer Spray

It always happens this way.... My kids finally find something to play together and peace reigns over the house.  For about 5 minutes.  Then I hear it. The telltale crash, a short, silent pause...and then...tears.  It's a bump.  A scrape.  A bruise.  If it's my son I...

Homemade Beeswax Candles

Homemade Beeswax Candles

DIY Spray Deodorant with Magnesium

DIY Spray Deodorant with Magnesium

Making my own deodorant has been a long and winding road.  I grew up using a certain well known antiperspirant...baby powder fresh.  No matter what any natural guru will tell you, I found moving from antiperspirant to store bought deodorant a hard change.  It took...

Zen-tastic Homemade Play Dough

Zen-tastic Homemade Play Dough

This summer is the summer of living out of our suitcases. People keep asking me how it's going since we left Argentina in June with a few suitcases and no plans to move into our home until the end of August. My response is always the same: "It's hard but it's an...

Pretty-in-Pink Homemade Lip Gloss

Pretty-in-Pink Homemade Lip Gloss

I have a son who LOVES lip gloss... and I love this about him.  Ironically, my daughter won't go near the stuff and it amuses me to no end.  I think my children were born this way---my son has always loved lotions and potions and my daughter prefers no personal care...
