She turned eight a few weeks ago, but still vividly remembers how much she loved her “REDS.” At two years old, the RED shoes with the little heart closures were two of our granddaughter’s dearest possessions. She wore them everywhere everyday. When I asked her this week, the only reason she thought they may have […]
Recently, staying warm has been a major concern for many of us. Another challenge we all face at one time or another is muscle pain and soreness. January finds more folks increasing physical activity to meet wellness goals. Increased exercise combined with cold have the capacity to increase the challenges. This month our essential oil […]
Forty-eight hours into this week-long (or longer) mostly raw eating plan, here’s my notes so far: While I believe we are on the right track, rumbling and grumbling about food choices is definitely present. Praying that improves as we go, but it will take creativity to keep the interest level peaked. So, spending a lot […]
Over the last few years, every time my husband and I ate out we wondered, would his hands start itching and hives spread over much of his body followed by misery for the next 20-30 minutes?

Often asked about the music played during your relaxation time, a few of those soothing instrumentals played during the Christmas season are found at the end of the post. But first… My husband and […]
Butter. My mom’s secret ingredient for everything baking. Not margarine, not shortening, not vegetable oil. A year ago today, rediscovering her long lost (but hidden under our noses) recipe for banana bread, I immediately realized why no other recipe would ever match the taste memories the family had. Well, of course, it was butter in […]
I have a plan to keep the holidays simple. Do you? Will we stick to our plans, or will they be sabotaged by the expectations and our imaginatings of the perfect Christmas? It's easy to dream of that Currier and Ives image in our heads, but not so easy to recreate it in our reality. […]
We’ve asked Connie Scheel to focus her article this month on a very special essential oil blend from Young Living: GRATITUDE — the essence of our celebrations. Connie has been experiencing this oil for herself all month, and she shares her thoughts with you. We are full of gratitude for the time she invests in […]
