I’ve always had pretty dry skin, but over the last few weeks it has gotten out of control. My hands have been so dry that my skin has been peeling and cracking, splitting and bleeding. It’s not comfortable at all. My husband said my hands look 40 years older than the rest of me. So, I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands. Hehe. I’ve been making my own lotion bars for a year or {Read More}

For a girl who lives in San Diego, it’s a bit tricky to create a cozy, chilly Winter afternoon. I mean, the low here hovers around 50 degrees, so there’s not a lot of opportunity to burrow under an afghan and sip a hot drink. So you’d better believe I’ll take advantage of any crisp breeze that passes by. I spent almost a decade in the mountains, and then spent another near decade in the Midwest, so there’s a part {Read More}
Today is my oldest son’s 10th birthday! I’ve been someone’s mama for a decade. A DECADE. I can’t exactly decide how to feel about this. I’m so thrilled with the young man he’s becoming. In some ways these years have dragged on and on and in others the years have seemed to disappear when I wasn’t looking. Wasn’t it only a few weeks ago I was frantically rocking his colicky newborn self? Days ago I was kissing his boo-boos? Hours {Read More}
Photo via DrMomma.org Like most moms, I spent my pregnancies daydreaming about what my babies would be like. What would they look like? What would they be good at? Would they love to read, or sing, or dance? I imagined sweet, sleepy little infants who spent hours snuggling and cooing. What I didn’t spend time daydreaming about was reflux. I didn’t imagine myself sobbing in the furthest corner of the house holding a baby who had been screaming for hours {Read More}
A couple of years ago my sister told me that she had successfully healed her receding gums by switching toothpaste. I was very intrigued, because I too have suffered from receding gums. She told me she had done some research and had learned that sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) damages gum tissue. Until then, I had assumed my issue was caused by brushing too hard. But what she said made sense, since the dangers of SLS were already on my radar. {Read More}
My hands-down favorite blog for recipes for making personal care products is Wellness Mama. And my hands-down favorite recipe from that blog is the recipe for homemade lotion bars. I’ve been making them for about half the year now and I am in looooove. First, I love them because they don’t contain any funky chemicals. Second, I love them because they are easy to make. Third, it turns out to be less expensive than the lotion I used to use {Read More}
