It’s bedtime and you are trying to sleep, but it’s hot and your pillow is even hotter. You flip the pillow around to find a cool side, but it only stays cool for a few seconds. It’s time for you to make a homemade cooling pillow with buckwheat! I’ve only had mine a week but I’m wondering WHY I hadn’t ever heard of them before! The other night it got pretty hot in our room and I woke up sweating, […]

After writing my post on useful lawns the other week, I developed an odd craving for fried dandelions. In case you’ve never tried them, you should! Here’s my recipe for fried dandelions. If you are wondering what fried dandelions taste like, I would say they have a southern tang. Something like fried okra perhaps but not as slimy. Of course, anything truly fried makes me think of the south lol. When you are picking the dandelions, keep in mind that […]

It’s spring! The grass is green and growing and that means the weeds are too. I know it may be tempting and those yellow flowers annoying, don’t spray your yard! Grow useful lawns and learn to appreciate humble weeds. Around here, we like useful lawns. Others can have their posh green carpeting that the kids cannot play on for several nights each month due to chemical sprays. We have a pretty green yard that’s dotted with yellow and white flowers, […]
Alternate Family Medicine ~Can you Doctor Yourself?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I think most of you know that I choose alternate family medicine for myself and my family rather than traditional medicine. Now, I’m not saying we never use medications or go to the doctor. I think if you’ve read my birth story you will already know that. 🙂 While I know that our doctors and nurses serve a very important part in our communities; I also feel that as a culture here in America we are way too fast to […]

Did you know that elderberry is a very effective insurance for colds and flus? I knew it was “good for you” but prior to this month I hadn’t read of the many benefits to be found in the simple elderberry. Of course, if you hadn’t figured it out already, this month’s topic in the Natural Herbal Living Magazine was the elderberry. Again, I ordered both the e-magazine and the herbal box. I feel these work so well together that it’s […]

For years I have loved Echinacea, and am well aware of the many Echinacea benefits. In fact, when I get a slight soreness in the back of my throat. When my nose begins to run a bit.

And he told me that when he is packing to work out of town I need to make […]

So, you’re going to plant a garden, now what? Do you start plants indoors as seedlings or do you go to a garden center to buy all your plants?
