Dryer Sheets
Nope, don’t sell these, but thought it was a topic worth discussing. Do you know how much junk is in those sheets that make our laundry smell so good? I won’t waste your time on my soapbox about them…but you should do yourself a favor and google it. It’s not cool, why would they keep trying to poison us? Well I’ve tried it all. Those rubber balls that you throw in the dryer. They are ok, but no scent. Tried the wool balls, again, ok, but didn’t love the no scent. So I inves

Make Your Own Laundry Detergent
Does laundry ever end?! Congratulations! You’ve clicked on something to find a post that will save you money & be better for your body! This isn’t a post where I’m trying to sell anything, I just want to help you use cleaner products in your life. Before I discovered this laundry soap I was never one that used powder detergents. It was always liquid as I thought that the powder never dissolved. I guess I was wrong. I had to hand wash one of the delicates and used this soap.

Beef Tallow Explained
I know that I somewhat covered this topic before, but thought that’d I give a little bit more detailed explanation. Of course as a wife of a cattle farmer I’m going to gravitate towards anything beef related. However I’m not just one sided and believe you should know the good things these beautiful animals can provide to make our lives better (aside from those tasty steaks!) Beef tallow is close to our own skin’s sebum, meaning that when you apply it acts as a barrier to prot

Seriously, castor oil?!
I’m not going to lie. The first time my holistic, not so hippy sister-in-law told me to put castor oil on my sunburn (that was threatening to ruin my vacation), I thought she was nuts! “Isn’t that what they took in the olden days to relieve constipation?! I’m not putting that on my skin!” Thankfully I listened and greased up before bed and aside from having a glistening glow about me, I woke up with the sting of the sunburn gone and ready to get to the beach again! Only this

Farmer Wife Life
If you have found this website/blog you may already know that I am absolutely blessed to be married to a farmer. While I was not born on a farm, I was always drawn to them. I live in a part of the Midwest where most of our ancestry were farmers. My father was raised on a farm but didn't farm himself. I've always thought that farming was in my blood, and it just took the right conditions for me to be allowed to appreciate it. When remodeling our house one year we ran acros

Why tallow?
I've always been amazed at how many chemicals we find in our everyday products. Why do we insist on trying to eliminate our wrinkly skin with some serum that has acid in it just because a commercial told us to do so? I am so glad that we are all getting wiser to what we put in and on our bodies. Thankfully I am on the other side of breast cancer. Going through that process really changes a person in mind, body and spirit. Along the way I ended up with some of the ugliest
