I’ve had a super hard time finding hair gel that I love the hold of and doesn’t come with toxic additives. So last year I started making my own….with FLAXSEEDS. It holds well, although the texture gets a little bit of getting used to. It’s also super important you add in the oils to help preserve the flaxseed gel and keep it from getting weird.

Let’s Chat about Fluoride
We ditched fluoride for our family a few years ago and here’s why: • Fluoride is a known neurotoxin. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), fluoride has been listed among about 100 chemicals for which there is “substantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity.” Children with higher exposure of fluoride statistically show they have a lower IQ. • Your body can’t detox all the fluoride naturally and then it collects in your bones. When this happens it also makes your bones more brittle. … [Read more...]
Introducing….
We’re pleased to announce… Our sweet baby D arrived yesterday morning, October 9, just past midnight at 12:16am here at home. 8lbs 12oz 21.5” He did so good making his way into the world. His Daddy caught him and we were surrounded by my mom and our midwife team. We woke B to cut the cord at 2:41am (he’d been asking for months) - it was something we’ll never forget. We’re grateful for a successful complication free all natural homebirth VBA3C. We were so surrounded in prayer by so many … [Read more...]
A Letter to my littlest babe
Hey sweet boy, It’s a matter of days or weeks before I meet you. I feel like time flashed and we arrived here. It’s bittersweet because you’re likely the last babe that’ll ever call my belly home but I’m so ready to have you in my arms. This pregnancy has been the greatest gift. Probably my easiest one yet so I’m pretending that means you’ll be our easiest baby and birth yet too. Can you help your mama out and make me right on that? 😉 Your siblings are anxious for your arrival. They are a … [Read more...]
Just to remember.
The time is flying by this pregnancy and there’s some things I just never ever want to forget about this time. Like the way B pulls up my shirt and hugs and kisses “the baby” every single night before bed and throughout the days sometimes. He’s completely smitten already and loves this little of brother of his so much. Or how C’s face lights up every time I’m rocking and nursing him to sleep and he feels the baby moving. He exclaims “baby moving!!! I feel him. Silly baby moving!!” Both … [Read more...]
