Tomato Soup

Growing up, I was never a very big tomato fan.  My mom would make us goulash (with tomatoes) or Campbell's creamy tomato soup, and they weren't my favorites.  The goulash I hated, and I would eat whatever the required amount of bites was and then take off.  I wasn't even a big fan of ketchup …

This website is dedicated to helping the reader towards better health by taking a holistic, natural approach with a special emphasis on the digestive system. For some of you, changes may come quickly, and for others, reaching your health goals may take some time, even years. The most important thing to remember is that no matter how long it takes, it starts with your first step. Do not be afraid to take that first step towards health, and keep moving forward!

And just like that, all of our original goat herd is gone 😔 The first goats that we purchased last year were skittish and afraid to be touched (Remember? The seven who ran away when we were headed out west? The ones who took four days to catch? Yeah, those) Over the last year, they've warmed up to us to the point where I could just grab their collar and lead them to the truck today. I felt somehow like I was betraying them. 😭 The problem was that they had horns. Now goats naturally will grow horns unless you remove them when they're very young. Sometimes it's not a problem -- but sometimes it can be a very big problem. They can get stuck in fences and die (we had one try this two weeks ago). But more problematically, they like to gouge each other's bellies with them when they fight for food and who is going to be the boss. We had one get her udder ripped last month (thankfully just superficially). We've had babies be tossed three feet in the air. And I once got my thigh caught between horns that were meant for the side of a goat and the goat happened to move 😬 And so I had to say goodbye to my babies. There are days when farming just isn't fun.
The ticks are insane here this year. I don't know if it's just because it's 2020 and they thought they'd join in the chaos or what, but we went all last year without seeing a single tick and this year I've already pulled a couple dozen off the dogs, a few off the goats, and had three that were crawling on our skin 🤢 . I've found that rubbing Young Living's insect repellent all over the dogs' collars works really well for repelling them. However, our lab Cooper has a super sensitive nose and haaaates the smell -- he will literally bury his face in mud to try to block the scent and then mope around with his crusty face for hours. (Nori, on the other hand, loves all oils and will sit next to him licking his collar in sympathy lol) I didn't want to leave him unprotected and so many conventional tick repellents have some pretty scary side effects. I had never tried cedarwood oil with the dogs before, and I read that it's effective at repelling ticks (I add it to our homemade bug spray for that reason). So I tried rubbing a couple drops on their coats to see how it would work. . Turns out it's the one oil Cooper likes, and even better, haven't seen a tick on either them (or us) for a week 🙌 #finallyawin #ineedanap

How Lyme savvy are you? 💚 May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and this week I'm going to take the opportunity to debunk some of the common myths floating around out there about Lyme (and there are several). . I want to increase awareness because according to some statistics, up to 90% of us are walking around with Lyme disease right now and don't even know it. 300,000 people will be diagnosed with Lyme disease this year alone, and hundreds of thousands more will be misdiagnosed with something else. . Lyme disease is tricky. For some, it can be so mild they don't realize they have it. For others, it affects their daily life to such an extent that they can't even function. Imagine being in your 20s or 30s and you can't even get through a shower without collapsing. Or having to lay on the laundry pile in the basement because you can't make it back up the steps. Being awake for 72 hours in pain, so exhausted, and yet the minute your eyes close your body jumps up in a full-on panic attack. . And yet, the very next day the "Lyme switch" can flip and a person with Lyme can appear "normal", leading others to the inevitable "but you don't look sick". 💚 . I'm curious, what questions do you have about Lyme disease? Do you have Lyme or know someone who does? . . . #lymedisease #lymediseaseawareness #lymewarrior #lymedontkillmyvibe #lymeawarenessmonth #lymefighter #lymemom #lyme #lymerecovery #lymelife #butyoudontlooksick
Self Care tip #6 - Find three things to be grateful for each day Research shows that the practice of gratitude increases dopamine production which encourages your brain to want more. It says, "I like that, do that again!" So this means the more you are grateful for, the more you will find to be grateful for! . Today I am grateful for: 1. Fresh herbs 2. Fresh eggs (do you see the little blue green egg in there? It's the first one from our little olive egger hen!) 3. Fresh air and sunshine, and the fact I could take my shoes off and walk around in the grass without getting frostbite today It seems simple, but sometimes the simplest things can have the greatest impact! ❤️ What are three things that you're grateful for today?
So I fought the mask thing for a long time. After all, studies have shown that cloth masks aren't effective at preventing viruses from passing through, so they end up giving many people a false sense of security -- washing your hands, staying 6 feet away from people (and caring for your inner terrain by eating real and fermented foods, avoiding sugar, getting enough sleep, and oiling up!) are where it's at. But as of Friday, masks will be mandatory in public places in Illinois. So I will wear a mask. But that doesn't mean I will stop doing all the other healthy things that actually work!! . On Friday, May 8th I will be offering a free class on Facebook on how to make your body an inhospitable host, not just to the current virus going around but to ANYTHING that could potentially affect your health. Flu. Food poisoning. Toxins in the environment. If your body is strong from the roots up, you don't need to live in fear! . If you're on FB and would like an invite to the event, please comment below! For my Insta-only friends, no worries -- I will post an IGTV version of the class on the 8th. Taking care of your health is an investment that will pay off over and over again for the rest of your life ❤️ Make time for it!
