I have been reading about the grain, wheat, for a while now. There are stories all over the internet about it. Apparently agri-business has genetically modified the original wheat grain so much that our bodies almost don't even recognize it as food......and as a result, we do not get much nutrition from eating it. |
To add insult to injury, consuming this new GMO wheat has also been found to be linked to a myriad of illnesses, such as dementia, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts, obesity, intestinal problems, irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerances and bloating.

I am always on the lookout for useful plants. One day I was in my garden in the back yard and I found a strange little plant with only three leaves that were thick and fuzzy. They were soft as velvet. Being curious, I looked it up on the internet and found it to be a plant called Wooly Lamb's Ear.
Lamb's Ear is a very versatile plant and it has many uses, both edible and medicinal: I am not one to have a ton of apps on my phone. In fact, I had almost none until a few days ago when I heard about a recycling app that I thought would be useful. After I downloaded it, I started looking around the App Store, and I found four others that I thought would really help me in my resolve for my family to live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I wanted to share them with you. :)
Today I have a lovely surprise, a post from a friend of mine that is also a blogger, Marika Charalambous. She made some homemade deodorant over the weekend and decided to share with us how she did it. Homemade Deodorant by Marika Charalambous
![]() Yesterday while working in the yard I somehow manages to impale my finger on a big splinter of wood. After scaring my husband to death when I came in the house with blood all over my hand, I proceeded to the bathroom to clean and dress the wound. First I stuck the finger under running water, gently pushing around it to see if there were any wood splinters in the wound. When I didn't see any, I proceeded to pat it dry and then pour alcohol over it. (ouch!) Then I pulled out my jar of antiseptic salve and dabbed it on the wound. That is when I occurred to me that I should share my homemade salve recipe with you all. Unfortunately, my finger was too sore to do any typing yesterday. It is better today, but still a bit sore. |
