Skin-Nourishing Massage Oil Recipe

December 21, 2015 by Katie Wells

Our family tries to focus on giving experiences instead of material gifts whenever possible.

When A Natural Mattress Isn’t in the Budget

December 1, 2015 by Katie Wells

Over the last 5+ years, I researched my way into a natural mattress for our family, but the process was long, somewhat dramatic, and expensive. For many years, a healthier, natural mattress just wasn’t in the budget for us, no matter how important I thought it was (as we saved for years to purchase ours). In the …
