An Easy, Convenient, and Affordable Way to Garden: Introducing the Tower Garden!

by Jenny Combs January 16, 2013

As I place a lot of importance of healthy eating with my family,  I just LOVE the idea of growing my own garden.  You can’t eat much more “local” than eating food that comes directly from your own backyard and you can’t get much more nutritious than fruits and veggies picked straight from the vine!  […]

Melaleuca essentail oil

I LOVE ESSENTIAL OILS!!! I was turned onto oils from the instructor who taught Cody’s tummy time class  (highly recommend her!) at the CFEC and haven’t looked back! We use them at our house for headaches, fevers, scrapes, colds, coughs, bruises, bug bites, burns, disinfectant, relaxation and everything in between. Although some are expensive, I think […]
