Natural Beauty Options: What Do I Use?
Natural Beauty Routine: What Do I Use? Let’s face it. Being holistic and natural about external beauty is difficult. So many products say that they are “organic” and “natural,” but for products that are not being consumed many of these claims are false. False is probably too soft of a word. Really . . . these products straight up lie. Some of them have nothing natural about them, but perhaps they contain a drop …Read More »
3rd Grade Homeschool Curriculum for 2017
Throughout our time homeschooling, I have met many kinds of homeschooling families.

I am neither of those mothers. While I do enjoy looking for my curriculum, I do not like looking through ALL of the millions of choices out there. It can …Read More »

This June my family moved 3+ states North East. In addition, my youngest son who was our foster son for 21 months went home to be with his family in late May. There has been so much change and I chose not to pay close attention to our diet during this time. I did not add on an extra 20 pounds, but my pants are snug and uncomfortable. In the Spring, I focused on loving my …Read More »
Perfect Birth VS Perfect Wedding
I just had an epiphany. Why do women believe that they need to spend time and money to plan their perfect wedding securing photographers, videographers, THE dress, favors, cakes, hors d’oeuvres, a wedding planner, the DJ or band, and the venue, but often have no plans to spend time or money to facilitate their perfect birth? Women plan their dream wedding, but forget to plan their dream birth. Perfect Wedding vs Perfect Birth: Special Event Planning Location WEDDING …Read More »

Should You Reheat Your Coffee?
In the years since my first induction into the coffee obsessed hall of fame, I’ve learned a lot about coffee.

Infinity Glass Jar Review – Do they work?
I recently had the privilege of reviewing a set of ultraviolet Infinity glass jars. While I had not heard of this particular brand of ultraviolet glass jars before, I had heard about the technology of the deep purple glass. Basically, they propose that the tint of the glass keeps out harmful light and lets in beneficial light in order to keep the contents fresh. My question is . . . do they really work? History …Read More »
Sorry Candace Cameron Bure
I Am Sorry Candace Cameron Bure Why do I say “I Am Sorry Candace Cameron?” Because Christians eat their own alive. When I say “Christians,” I am speaking to those who say they are Christians, but who are judging others and being hypocritical with their actions. Did God say to his followers, “Judge others, because you are so absolutely perfect?” Or did God say, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce …Read More »
Fertility Options – What I Have Tried
It is always strange to announce to the world, “I struggle with infertility!” Yet if I don’t talk about it, I know many women are going to continue to feel alone and not have the information they need.

Redeeming My Birth Story After Trauma
In June of 2014, I shared my birth story with my Boholistic Mom readers. My post called Modern Childbirth: My Story detailed my story of pregnancy and labor for my child. Writing out my story was both healing for me and liberating. I wasn’t hiding the pain, the fear, and the disappointment anymore. Now, two years later, I need to write a new story. Did you know that you can actually rewrite your own birth …Read More »
What Does the Bible Say about Modesty?
This post is actually a troubleshooting post for my post titled “What Does the Bible Say about Boobs? over at Blissful Moments Doula. You can find that post >here<. I know many ladies will have so many questions about the assertions that I made, but many of those have to do with modesty rather than the Biblical passages on breasts. So I decided I would continue the discussion here on my blog. What Does the Bible …Read More »
Soap Alternatives that keep you clean
In this day and age, we have come to believe that a magical clean is only achieved with soap. Soap being whatever the store sells as soap. It may not even be soap, but if the store calls it soap then it must clean and we are safe. Safe from the nasty obnoxious germs we all fear. These evil creature must be fought with foaming cleaners (sodium lauryl sulfate), antibacterial cleansers, and if that …Read More »
10 Marriage Tools for a Thriving Relationship
Let me be clear ladies. Our marriages are under attack by the enemy of our souls. The good news? God is bigger, stronger, and has every intention of helping us through any hurdle that the enemy presents. However, we need God and we need tools. Why do we need tools? Because God has given us a base of Biblical wisdom and teachers who have walked this path before us. We do not need to come …Read More »
