Welcome Sun-Worshiper! Spend a little too much time in the garden again? Feeling the pain of an unrelenting sun? Been there, done that on more occasions then I care to admit. And that's why I created an all-natural Soothing Sunburn Relief Spray. Necessity is the mother of invention as they say. Summer doesn't officially start until June 21st but in many parts of the country the heat is already on full blast. Everyone wears less ... Read More
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love cookies. They are delicious little comfort foods that bring joy to millions of people all over the world. Until last week that is, when I posted my recipe for Double Chocolate Salted Cookies and these innocent little treats started a war. Okay, okay, it only involved two people and it was more ribbing than actual fighting but I was caught in the middle of the cookie conflict and I had to do something to stop it. In truth, I knew very well ... Read More
Double Chocolate Salted Cookies
There are days when I wonder why I didn't just start a blog about cookies. Seriously, I love cookies that much and I even started a small cookie company a few years back. It didn't last long because, as it turns out, I like eating cookies a lot more than I like selling cookies. Or running a company. I've had a few people ask me if my recipes are carefully guarded family secrets. I personally think secret family recipes are stupid so when a friend ... Read More
All Natural Cleaning Wipes
A while back I did a post about my complete Cleaning Cabinet Makeover. It has been one of my most popular posts and I am quite proud of it but as it turns out it's not really complete. I know, I was shocked too! What could possibly be missing? Well, a dear friend of mine pointed out that it didn't include a replacement for Clorox Wipes. That's it? Whew! I can fix that, no problem. Since I don't really use Clorox cleaning wipes in my house I ... Read More
10 Reasons You Should Raise Backyard Chickens…And 5 Reasons You Shouldn’t
For several years now, backyard chickens have been all the rage. Fancy coops have turned up in even the nicest of neighborhoods as people, some who didn't appear to have a homesteading bone in their bodies, jumped on the self-sufficient, save-the-planet bandwagon. Lots of folks have turned the fad into a lifestyle they would never abandon while others have decided it's not for them. If you are wanting backyard chickens now is the best time of ... Read More
Jewel-Toned Easter Eggs
When I was a kid my favorite part of Easter was dying eggs. I was not an especially artistic child yet there was something about turning a white egg into a colored egg that made me feel like a budding Monet. But even back then I always felt the colored eggs from the store-bought coloring kit lacked pizzazz. I'd leave them in the liquid for a really long time or try to make them two-toned but eventually I'd give up, slap some stickers on them and ... Read More
Bath Fizzies
For some unknown reason my youngest son hates taking showers. I mean the "kicking and screaming" kind of hate. He's almost 11 so I thought he might be in the "I'm a pre-teen and I know everything and I don't need to shower because I never stink, so there!" phase. But I don't recall his older brothers ever putting up this kind of hard-core resistance to basic hygiene when they were his age and I was growing tired of the fight. So one day I stopped ...

Honey Mint Lip Balm
My name is Leah and I am addicted to lip balm. No really, it's true. I have lip balm stashed in every purse, coat, desk drawer, toiletries kit, suitcase, back pack, bathroom drawer and nightstand not to mention my car, my hubby's car and several other places I can't even think of right now. On the old very-popular TV show Survivor the contestants were allowed to bring one luxury item from home. My pick would have been lip balm hands down. I can't ... Read More
