I mentioned the other day that I actually used an aromatherapy method to help soothe my aching bones and nerves during my first few days home from the hospital after The Accident. I was taking 400mg tablets of ibuprofen plus another similar drug at the time...and...
Aromatherapy for the Healthy Child
It's probably no surprise to you that I am a big fan of essential oils and aromatherapy. I have seen first hand how powerful their effects can be...and if I can accomplish something without drugs and chemicals, I'm definitely going to give it a try. I even used...
Don’t forget the praise and gratitude
Over the last week or so, I have had the pleasure of receiving several emails of praise and appreciation from friends, family and strangers regarding things I'd doing here at NOH, in my organic bath & body company Newf Brand, and in other ventures as well. It is...
Finally giving the mudroom some more love
This past weekend the weather here was pretty iffy; quite chilly and raining off and on...so we decided to tackle a project inside that has been looming over us for years. In fact, it's been almost two years since we last did any major work in our mudroom...which is a...
Come on spring!
It's hard to imagine that spring would suddenly be here in full force after such a long, cold winter, but we have had some absolutely incredible weather the last couple weeks. Highs in the 60's (15-18°F) and plenty of sunshine. So I decided to get outside and slowly...
BodyRock Challenge: Week 7
After my not so stellar performance in Week 6, I really wanted to turn things around in Week 7. I was so excited about the change in routine and all the crazy new workouts that I was going to be doing, that I actually got up on Saturday morning and worked out. It was...
Revising our plans for 2010
The weather here is still yo-yoing between winter and spring...but I have little doubt that we will turn around twice and spring will be passing us by, with summer setting in strongly. Which makes me turn to thoughts about our garden, our hopes of growing all our own...
BodyRock Challenge: Let’s forget Week 6
Here's how it went down this week. Monday I completed two rounds of part 1 Buns & Fat Burning workout in 7 min 27 sec. This is better than two weeks ago but I still felt just as dead afterwards. Still wanted to hurl, still my head was pounding. I'm starting to...
BodyRock Challenge: Week 5
Despite it being a mediocre week for my workout routines, at least I gave it my best when I was working out. I was having trouble with my motivation and positive thinking...perhaps it was all the late nights watching Olympics instead of getting some sleep and...
Homemade natural spray disinfectant
I recently received a question about using homemade Thieves Oil around children, especially young children under 3 years old. Unfortunately, many of the ingredients contained in it should not be used on small children. In fact, rosemary essential oil shouldn't really...
