Cavitations and My Dental Health

I keep trying to write a comprehensive blog post about dental health but I make them too broad and get bogged down in the details so instead I will write about my own current dental health and try to keep from getting too big.

I see a holistic dentist who understands about the importance [...]

The Power of Kombucha (and sugar!)

I have two short stories from my family today to share about Kombucha and the power of ferments. And the negative power of sugar even after 2.5 years of healing on GAPS! (What is GAPS?) Usually my family can’t tolerate Kombucha. We do love it but it doesn’t love us. However sometimes it is just [...]

I have shared about my experiences with Be Young essential oils in the past (Intro to essential oils and Mint Essential Oil). I continue to use their single oils and blends to bring health to myself and my family. Most recently we are using a lot of lavender essential oil. We used it to [...]

The above picture is J’s mouth before her Tongue Tie correction.

When I first started looking into getting my families tongue ties corrected one name began coming up. Dr William Chen. The first Dr we saw to diagnose the tongue ties mentioned him but said he is very busy and hard to get [...]

Lemon Gelatin (sugar free option)

My family is having a lot of mouth surgeries over the next month. Today it was my 4 year old’s tongue tie, next week my 8 year old’s tongue tie and in a bit over 3 weeks I’m getting 3 cavitations cleaned out. Getting a good gelatin recipe that is GAPS legal seemed necessary for [...]

French Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Both of my children are getting their tongue ties fixed soon. Part of how I am motivating them to want to get this done is with a promise of lots of ice cream once it is over. Since we are following GAPS this means that I am making lots of ice cream.

I have often [...]
