Why I Switched to Raw Milk…From A Breast Cancer Survivor

I remember growing up and going over to friends’ houses to spend the night, the obligatory pizza was served and of course pop to go with it. Okay okay, here in Texas everything is a Coke. Or soda I guess. (When your parents are from Michigan, you are raised saying pop.) But we never had pop in my house, we were one of the families who were becoming healthier and venturing out of the 70s microwave dinner phenomenon. So, I never wanted pop. I wanted milk. We were raised on milk

Top 10 Summertime MOM Favs

It’s hard to believe that we are smack dab in the middle of June. But the rays of sunshine, sweaty kid kisses and cicadas singing their nightly lullaby remind me that yes, we are on summer time.

While the girls make their bucket list, I make my summertime toolkit. Because all moms need a tool kit to keep summer happy and heal

“Mama my ears hurt.”

The dreaded statement. On one hand I was grateful my daughter could vocalize that her ears hurt, on the other hand I hated what this meant.

Friday Night Fever

It was a normal Friday night… we wanted to have our neighbors over for dinner. They too have two young girls and it would be nice to catch up. In hindsight, our oldest did show some behavior that was out of character for her… acting fussier than normal and then proceeded to take a nap (she’s 4.5). As grateful as we were for the quiet… later we realized it was because her little body was fighting something. When our neighbors arrived, our oldest wanted to watch a show and not

Heal Yeah!

In my YouTube Channel this past week I discussed all the tools that have helped my family and I support our immune systems. One of the main ways we support our immune systems is with Apple Cider Vinegar and making bone broth, so I wanted to give you guys my recipe for that so you too can start making it from home. Bone Broth Good quality organic, grass-fed bones (a whole chicken, turkey—you can even go buy bones from whole foods) Add in the skin, cartilage and any juices from
