My other version of owie cream works AMAZINGLY well, but when I learned that I could EASILY infuse the healing power of Calendula flowers, into my owie cream, I jumped on board immediately. What’s better than amazing owie cream? Super AMAZING owie cream! If you do not have Calendula flowers, don’t despair, like I said, the other owie cream works very well and does a superb job at healing owies. Read more »

There is no such thing as blueberry essential oil. I wish that I could get essential oils in mango, strawberry, pineapple, and blueberry, but alas they just don’t exist! If you see a website proclaiming their FLAVOR oils as essential oils, you should most definitely be worried. Read more »

We all know how much I love coming up with crazy awesome vegan sweets and treats. I can’t help myself, when I get a craving for something…I have to create it! I decided for this upcoming Mother’s Day, I wanted one of my favorites, but revamped for spring. Cinnamon rolls! These aren’t just ordinary cinnamon rolls though, they are orange strawberry cinnamon rolls, and they are GOOD!! Read more »

After making Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats, I began to notice Sirius (our 50+ lbs. dog that thinks he is Syfy’s brother) began to act very bored with the super expensive dog kibble I was feeding him. Every morning and every evening he would slump over to his food dish and sniff at the same old boring kibble and then walk away. What happened to my voracious eater? I know for a fact that he loves to eat food, Read more »

I had fallen into THAT trap. The one where I can only seem to get through to my kid by yelling all the time. I don’t know how it happened. One month we’re having a blast and pretty much every day is a continuous breeze, and then 3 1/2 hit and the emotional roller coaster began. I don’t blame him, and I totally know what he’s going through is normal as he learns to reign in his emotions; but, because both of us are sensitive empaths, we end up feeding off of each others misery during those moments of high intensity.

Before moving into this house back in November, I was utilizing castile soap in my dishwasher and always getting fantastic results. I had no clue that the difference in the water could make such a huge difference in my house and the cleanliness factor! When we moved into this house, my first load of dishes came out covered in a white film, and I was beyond disappointed At first, I had no idea what had happened (It turns out if you have really hard water, the castile soap will turn it cloudy and will cause MORE cloudy glasses). I thought, “well maybe I just need to finally make a powdered dishwasher detergent.” Read more »

It seems to me, that every year I feel like the bugs come out bigger, badder, and stronger. Last year the grasshoppers ate my entire vegetable garden; but this year, I have plans to prevent any bug infestations from ruining any outdoor fun I want to have! I have created The Hippy Homemaker Bug-B-Gone candles and spray. The smell of this spray is absolutely wonderful, and I have no problem getting Syfy to stand still while I spray this on him, before going out to adventure in the yard. We have even sprayed this spray on our picnic tables and blankets, to help keep the bugs off of our area. This spray works so well that I carry a bottle of it in my purse, just in case! Read more »

It’s spring time in the northern hemisphere and every one around me is getting pregnant and having babies! It’s that time of year for twitterpating and baby showers! The most recent baby shower that I attended was for a family friend and her impending little princess, Kirbi! I decided it was time that I put together a Hippy Homemaker Homemade First Time Mom’s Kit and fill it full of homemade goodies that I figured she would need (and a couple gifts that weren’t homemade but I still figured were needed!)

About six months back, I said to the Hippy Husband, “I need to start making bread by hand because I bet you $10 there are absolutely no nutrients in the over processed sliced bread that we have bought from the grocery store our whole lives.” Read more »

With Spring time officially here and Easter in a week, I decided to put together an Easter basket for Syfy that would help to also build up our Waldorf style homeschool classroom. I have NEVER been the kind of girl to put candy in Easter baskets or Christmas stalkings. When I was little, the memories that I have are the ones that my own Mother gave me by putting cute accessories, jewelry, gift cards, pencils, pencil tops/erasers, and other crafty little doowahickeys in our Easter baskets and stalkings. My sister and I always got really excited by this too! We didn’t care that our friends were getting baskets full of candy because when their candy ran out, we knew that our sweet gifts would still be in use. Read more »
