Refreshing Cucumber Lime Veggie Green Smoothie Recipe

February 28, 2017 by Katie Wells

There are two things that almost all health gurus seem to agree that we should do: get more sleep and eat more green veggies.

Was My Last Home Birth Illegal? (I Need Your Help!)

February 15, 2017 by Katie Wells

In short… yes. My amazing last home birth experience that saved me from an 8-week c-section surgery recovery was not legal in my state.

Homemade HE Laundry Detergent Recipe (Laundry Soap)
