5 Homemade Laundry Detergents

5 Unique Homemade Laundry Detergent Recipes-includes both liquid and powder and cloth-diaper safe

I've never made homemade laundry detergent. Oh, it's been on my {too} long to-do list of things I eventually want to try my hand at making. But much like homemade toothpaste, I just haven't gotten there yet. (It's probably because I'm pretty satisfied with the natural and eco-friendly detergent I am already using!) I have, however, been collecting homemade laundry detergent recipes and pinning them to my "For the Home" board on Pinterest. Maybe one of these day I'll get around to making these. In the meantime, you can try one of these homemade laundry detergent recipes and tell me what you think: 1. DIY Powdered Soap Nuts This recipes from Eco-Friendly Family looks phenomenal.

An Affordable Solution to Bedwetting

white cloud sleep pants are a perfectly affordable nighttime solution for children who wet the bed

I was pretty excited when I got the opportunity to write a sponsored post on the White Cloud Sleep Pants. Why? Because my almost-5 year old, who still wets the bed, wears them at night. But then I thought: Man, will I appear hypocritical to review and write this post since I wrote an entire eBook on cloth diapering? It was then that I realized that writing this post would allow me the opportunity to be transparent with you. From the book and my posts, you should know that I'm not all or nothing when it comes to cloth diapering. Even though this is a sponsored post, all thoughts and opinions are my own. My almost 5 year old still wets the bed. But you know what? It doesn't bother … [Continue reading...]

I Totally Get Why Angelina Jolie Had Her Breasts Removed

I Get Why Angelina Jolie Had Her Breasts Removed

I totally get why Angela Jolie removed her breasts. Totally. The woman's mother died from ovarian cancer (which is related to breast cancer). She DIED from it. Over the past day I've seen some very critical comments about Angelina's choice to alter her body in such a drastic way. These critics come mostly from natural living circles, who feel they can shake their heads and point their fingers and become impassioned about Jolie's "rash" decision to jump to surgery when so many less invasive cancer preventive measures are available to her. She could have switched to a whole foods diet. She could have cut out all meat and become a vegan, raw foodie. She could have taken this or … [Continue reading...]

Let’s Ditch Mommy Guilt and Embrace Mommy Grace

Let's Ditch Mommy Guilt and Embrace Mommy Grace @ thehumbledhomemaker.com

For over 5 1/2 years now, I’ve been either pregnant or breastfeeding babies back-to-back. Sometimes I wake up and think: “Wow! How did I go from a working wife to a stay-at-home mom of three--three!--children under five years old?” It’s been a whirlwind--to say the least. I started this site two years ago with intentions of chronicling my journey to becoming a better mom. But I failed--miserably. Oh, I’ve accomplished a lot of what I set out to do, but the biggest take-away I’ve had in this two-year venture is that there is no set formula to “perfect” motherhood. And propositioning yourself to attain such lofty goals just sets you up for … [Continue reading...]

EXPIRED: So I bought the Natural Fertility Bundle…and here’s why {ends today}

fertility ebooks

Last week on Facebook I told you about a Natural Fertility Bundle that I was interested in but not sure if I was going to buy myself. I wanted to tell you about it because I know SO many of you are in the childbearing years and interested in all things natural fertility/pregnancy/childbirthing/baby-related since that is one of the major themes of my site. But seeing that my husband and I don't have plans (but who knows God's plans--we don't use birth control) to conceive anytime soon, and because, only by God's grace, I have not struggled with infertility in the past, I just wasn't sure if this bundle would be a wise purchase for me. I got the dates mixed up on the sale (it really ends … [Continue reading...]

Rejoicing and Mourning with Mothers on Mother’s Day

rejoicing and mourning with mothers on Mother's Day

It's humbling to say, but as a child, I never thought much about Mother's Day. I remember my mom pinning a corsage on her dress, and my dad would usually take us kids to pick out a hanging plant or something simple like that to gift her. And during our church service, our pastor always, always had all the mothers stand. (And rewarded the one with the most children, the one with the youngest baby and perhaps the one who had been a mother the longest.) Now I regret not making such a big deal out of Mother's Day--because during the past five years I've come to realize that motherhood is not for the faint of heart. It's time in the trenches. And sometimes it feels too hard. My mom? … [Continue reading...]
