Homemade Poison Ivy Paste

In many areas of the country poison ivy is a part of life, especially when you live and work outdoors so much.

This poison ivy paste can be made in minutes and it can be kept on hand during the late spring and summer months when this devious plant abounds.

Homemade Fruit Fly Trap

By Tiffany 4 Comments

When you eat a lot of fresh fruit and produce you tend to see lots of fruit flies hanging around your house. My husband insists that there have to be eggs on the fruit and that is how they get into the house. I prefer to believe that the little guys can smell the ripe fruit from miles away and sneak inside the house to feast. Who wants to imagine they are buying fruit with egg sacs all over it??? Yuck! Either way it is gross to walk by your bowl of apples or bananas (or whatever fruit you like … [Read more...]

Natural Ways to Relieve a Head Cold

By Tiffany Leave a Comment

When we natural/green mamas get sick and are down for the count it might be tempting to go to the drugstore and grab the nearest over the counter medication for some quick relief. Let's face it, there might not be anyone around to take care us...make us soup and fluff our pillows. Heck, we are lucky if we can take a nap when we have little ones running around. We still have to take care of our families and take care of the home, even while sick. Such is the life of a mom right? Still when we do … [Read more...]

15 Natural Ways to Soothe and Heal Poison Ivy

By Tiffany 8 Comments

When I came home from New York City this week I came home to a rather nasty surprise. My youngest kiddo was covered in poison ivy. He must have gotten it on a fishing trip he took with his Dad and the itching apparently went unnoticed until I came home so it has spread pretty far along...from his lower limbs to his arms, chest, and face. We actually went through this a month ago with my oldest boy but at 12 he is pretty savvy about not itching and it healed quickly without any interventions from … [Read more...]
