How to answer your child's WHYS

How to Provide Nurturing Answers to the “WHY’s?”

April 12, 2017 by Sarah 2 Comments

I remember very clearly declaring, likely to myself only, that when my daughter (my first child) entered the “WHY” phase I was going to answer every question.

How to Stay Healthy in the Winter

January 3, 2017 by Megan Powell 2 Comments

Winter is in full swing for many of us. This also means more germs and viruses floating around. Many people find themselves getting at least one bad cold or flu bug each winter season.

There are so many uses for beeswax. These crafts, lotions, soaps, and potions using beeswax are awesome!

Crafts, Lotions, and Potions that will have you running for Beeswax

July 27, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I did something over the weekend that I thought I would never do again. I made soap. Sounds simple, but goodness that Lye makes me nervous. But I did it. I conquered my fear, I tried it again, and guess what? The second time was not nearly as bad. Only moderately terrifying. Perhaps next time…

March 29, 2016 by Sarah 3 Comments

The most amazing thing happened on the weekend – Spring! Well, one day of it at least. The snow did return yesterday, but that is just part and parcel for living in Canada, eh? But that one day – goodness, it was good. We spent every last minute outside and enjoying the sunshine (and the…

Tea Cup Candle

March 23, 2016 by Sarah 2 Comments

Here’s the thing about homemade Christmas presents. I love them! But I hardly ever (never) accomplish all that I hope I will. Luckily my sisters have birthdays in March which gives me a few extra months to put the finishing touches on gifts (Or begin them … ). I saw these cute teacup candles at…
