If you’ve posted your herbal insect repellent recipe, will you direct me to it please? I do NOT want to spray the chemical crap on my kids anymore!
Thanks!
p.s. I stumbled you, too!

Jen – this is why I dislike those websites that are all coupons and saving money on groceries. So what if you save a few bucks — or even hundreds. It will bite you in the rear end later when you have thousands of dollars worth of medical bills.

Very well put! Because of finances we don’t always get to choose the absolute healthiest options but I certainly don’t choose foods we could live without, such as juices, processed foods etc. I just have to lower my standards on the foods we DO eat cheese, meat etc.

I really relate to this post. I fancied myself a “coupon queen” not too long ago. Now I rarely use a coupon, and barely shop at grocery stores. I’ve given a lot of my stockpile away to friends and family, or donation.

Most of our food comes from a wonderful, local organic delivery service I stumbled upon in my search for raw dairy. They provide a herd share for a yearly $30 fee, and the option to purchase 2 gallons of raw milk per week, raw butter, and pastured eggs. They also sell many, many wonderful organic products: produce, raw honey, grains, grass fed, pastured meat etc. Best of all, they deliver to my door every week for only a $5 fee!

I’m really curious about your homemade tooth soap and other personal products. This is one area I’ve been researching, but have yet to make a move at changing over. There are so many options, it’s hard to know what’s best! Would you consider a post where you share your recipes?

Thanks! Jen
