Natural Cat Care & Holistic Alternatives

December 31, 2021 by Katie Wells

Our pets really do feel like family members—that’s why we make homemade cat treats. Our Bengal cat Hercules loves them. Still, even when I give him the treats, he highly favors our daughter and is truly her cat. They’re best buds!  In addition to feeding our cats healthy food, we’ve tried to be conscious cat …

Homemade Natural Body Wash

December 29, 2021 by Katie Wells

When I played soccer in high school, I spent a lot of money on fancy body wash products (and fancy personal care products in general). I bought into all the claims that these products would make my skin softer or tighter, smell great, help with acne, etc. I even had several different body washes I …

Mocha Swiss Meringue Buttercream

December 28, 2021 by Katie Wells

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. When I want something sweet, I’ll eat a piece of fruit or add a little honey to my tea. Another option is this berry crisp as it has both fruit and honey, and is delicious without being too sweet. When it comes to holidays or other special days, …

What Is PEMF Therapy(Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field)?

December 24, 2021 by Katie Wells

As a mom, I’m always looking for the least invasive ways to optimize our family’s health. It’s even better when I don’t have to leave the house! That’s why I’m excited to tell you about Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field therapy, or PEMF for short. Everyday electricity from our appliances, computers, WiFi, phones and other electromagnetic fields …

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh Lotion Bars

December 22, 2021 by Katie Wells

Growing up, I remembered hearing the Christmas story and the gifts the wise men brought. I wondered what the significance of frankincense and myrrh were. Gold seemed obvious, but I was curious about the purpose of the other two gifts. After I started studying herbal remedies and discovered how frankincense and myrrh were traditionally used, …

Honey Mustard Chicken with Mushrooms

December 21, 2021 by Katie Wells

New chicken recipes are always welcome, right? I feel like every family has their favorites (pad krapow gai is ours), but at the same time, it’s nice to try something new every once in a while. This honey mustard chicken with mushrooms was the result of that try-something-new urge. It turned out great! Honey Mustard …

The Best CBD for Dogs

December 17, 2021 by Katie Wells

Is CBD safe for dogs? I’ve already covered the health benefits of CBD oil for humans, and I’m excited that it looks promising for dogs with arthritis, seizures, anxiety, and more.  We adore our two dogs, Hemingway and Lollipop. They are so good with our kids. As they get older, I’m glad to know that …

Mint Chocolate Lip Scrub for Deliciously Smooth Lips

December 15, 2021 by Katie Wells

Winter weather means cold air and, for many of us, chapped lips. I like using sugar lip scrubs (like a sugar cookie lip scrub) to help eliminate the excess skin and tacky feeling that can go along with damaged lips. This DIY mint chocolate lip scrub helps gently exfoliate away dead skin cells for softer, …

Roasted Cabbage Slices

December 14, 2021 by Katie Wells

My name is Katie and I love cabbage. I never really thought I’d say that. I’m not a huge fan of coleslaw. In fact, I usually use broccoli instead of cabbage when making it. However, I’ve learned that if I don’t like something, sometimes I just need to either try making it myself or try a completely …

Is Allulose a Healthy Sweetener?

December 10, 2021 by Katie Wells

Weight loss is an issue many mamas struggle with. So, a lot of us turn to low carbohydrate or keto diets in an effort to lose the fat. Because these diets focus on cutting out most sugar and carbs, there’s a big demand for sugar alternatives that are low carb and keto-friendly. The food industry …

89+ Natural & DIY Christmas Gift Ideas

December 9, 2021 by Katie Wells

This year, we’ve decided to keep things simple, natural, and sustainable with natural and DIY Christmas gift ideas. That includes a few select wooden toys for the kids that will (hopefully) last for generations. We’re also focusing more on experiences than material gifts (for the most part). There are so many great gift options for …

Maple Pecan Butternut Squash

December 7, 2021 by Katie Wells

Winter squashes are, to me, the chicken of the vegetable world. They’ve got a nice flavor but are a mostly blank slate that is delicious with different seasonings and preparations. They can be sweet, savory, or spicy. They can be diced and roasted, added to soups and pureed, and baked into desserts. As an added …

Habit Stacking for Health Made Simple

December 3, 2021 by Katie Wells

I think we’ve all had good intentions where we want to start a new habit or reach a new goal, but we struggle to follow through with it. (I’ve found in the past that sometimes I’m too vague, and that doesn’t set me up for success either.) Anyone else ever made a New Year’s resolution …
