In the last few years, our family has been using mostly all-natural remedies for our illnesses. We consult trained homopathic and other naturopathic practitioners. We’ve been having excellent results. Through a combination of Buteyko breathing, homeopathic treatment and lifestyle changes, it looks like my 14-year-old daughter has licked her asthma (she was diagnosed at 7 years old).

Teaching A Child About Earth Day
March 10, 2009 by Alexis · Leave a Comment
Earth Day, celebrated on April 22nd, is a day set aside for everyone who cares about the planet. Every day, we are becoming more aware of the affects of our habits on the earth. As we strive to keep our eco-system intact; and keep our rainforests from being destroyed; there is much we can do as individuals. Teaching your child about Earth Day is a good first step, as they will be learning habits and attitudes from what we do.teach a child about earth day
It is important to explain to your kids what Earth Day represents, and what you do as a family - not just one day, but every day can slow the damage we are doing to the environment.
How to Make Yogurt - The Lazy Mom’s Method

I’ve been making yogurt at home for about almost 8 years now and I’ve developed my own lazy Mom’s method. Now I am sharing with you my own method for how to make yogurt, without having to scald milk or use thermometers or anything like that. My reasoning is, since yogurt has been around for hundreds of years, I’m sure people who’ve been making yogurt all that time did not do it so precisely! My “lazy Mom” method is simple and easy but it works. Try it and soon you’ll be enjoying yogurt and its benefits.
For my simplified version of how to make yogurt, you’ll need the same ingredients as the basic yogurt recipes. You’ll also need a yogurt maker. I use the Salton Yogurt Maker (see below), available in Amazon.com, and I’ve had great success with it.
