Homemade Vanilla Sugar (and vanilla salt, and sucanat)
3 out of the 4 members of my nuclear family members are sick, including yours truly. This hot weather then cold then hot then cold then hot is messing with our immune system, and I’m left with a perpetually runny nose, with a horrid sinus headache, brain fog, exhaustion, and just generally an icky feeling.

Wild Medicine
Today, we had a blackout that lasted for many hours. Being as I couldn’t continue writing the post I was working on, I decided instead to go foraging. This time, instead of looking for plants to eat, I was mainly looking for plants with medicinal purposes. Of course, in most cases, the plants are both […]

Eczema
I’ve discovered, at long last, that my little Ike, my sweet little toddler, has most likely got eczema. I’m not an expert on skin conditions- I need a dermatologist to give an official diagnosis, and don’t have any personal experience with eczema.

Picky Eaters
Lee happily eating hollyhocks (large leaves at right) that he picked himself on a foraging expedition. I have to ask, do your little ones like, and eat the things that you make? I have an EXTREMELY picky 4 yr old, and if it “looks” funny, she ain’t touching nor eating it. How do you get […]
