Homemade Vapor Rub for the Cold and Flu Season

October 24, 2016 By Angi Schneider 6 Comments

When my big kids were little we used to use something we called “nose medicine” when we were stuffy, most people call it Vicks® Vapor Rub.

June 23, 2016 By Angi Schneider 14 Comments

Goodness, it’s hot around these parts! Probably not any hotter than any other June but since we’ve switched from antiperspirant to deodorant I notice the effects of the heat much more.

SchneiderPeeps - Dry, chapped skin is a huge problem in the winter. You can easily conquer it with homemade scrubs and lotions.

Last week we had a little chapped lips issue going on here. We were applying lip balm all day it seemed and still several of us had dry chapped lips. Poor Esther, she didn’t really understand why we kept telling her to stop licking her lips, they were dry after all. But really, licking dry […]

December 29, 2014 By Angi Schneider 15 Comments

Herbal treatments and antimicrobial sprays can help you fight all kinds of virus' in your home, including the flu. This spray is super easy and effective.

First let me say, I’m not a “germ-a-phobe” by any stretch of the imagination. You won’t find antibacterial soaps or hand sanitizes in our home. We just use plain old soap and water to wash our hands with and, for the most part, soap and water to clean with. Rarely do I feel the need […]

Making a basic healing salve is a quick and easy way to treat your family's cuts and scrapes. With just a few ingredients such as infused oil, beeswax and essential oils you make this right in your kitchen.

A few weeks ago, I was in the house, minding my own business, when I felt our house shake. Now, we have a brick house, so a shaking house is no small feat. A moment later, Benjamin’s friend came in the house saying that Benjamin was hurt. Apparently, the two of them were racing bikes […]
