What a week! TGIF! A had a health hiccup recently that threw me for a loop but I was able to get things under control. Basically my thyroid went wacko and I slipped back into hypothyroid symptoms despite my medication. Once again my hair started falling out and my basal body temperature dipped to 96.2 on average. Panic started to set in and I began to doubt my diet since diet is what threw my thyroid into a tailspin in the first place. I was able to figure out though that my symptoms started … [Read more...]

Natural Learning – What Is It?
As many of you know I will likely be homeschooling my 7 year old son after the conclusion of this school year.

We w … [Read more...]
