Mudmask & Mimosa Fridays - Mudmask Recipies To Start Your Own Club
STRESS! Seriously, I am entering my first Christmas Season in retail, my son’s birthday is tomorrow, Thanksgiving is nearing, and my first craft fair, ever, is only in a matter of weeks. To say that I am not stressed out would be an understatement. For the most part I have been so busy, that I […]
DIY Dish Soap That Actually WORKS - It’s Simple, No Melting and No Waiting!
This post has been a LONG time coming. I have been trying to find a recipe for dish soap that ACTUALLY worked, for at least a year now. I have tried just about every single diy all-natural “crunchy” soap recipe that I could find!
The Hippy Homemaker’s Green Cleaning Starter Kit - The Ultimate Green Friendly Wedding Present
I had the privilege of being invited to one of my long-time friend’s wedding and reception this last weekend. Though we weren’t able to go to Colorado to make the actual wedding, we were able to go to their reception dinner held here in Texas. When our invitation arrived in the mail, my first thought […]
Give Your Body an Antioxidant Boost With a Blueberry Citrus Body Scrub
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.
Make Your Own Dog Food and Your Dog Will Thank You EVERY Time That You Feed Him!
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 […]
DIY Dishwasher Tablets For Hard or Soft Water (and homemade Lemishine)

I had no clue that the difference in my water could make such a huge difference in how well some of my natural cleaning products worked. When we moved into this house, my first load of dishes came […]
The Hippy Homemaker’s Bug-B-Gone Candles & Spray
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 […]
The BEST Homemade First Time Mom’s Kit! (or any new mother for that matter!)
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 […]
Easter Basket Alternatives to Candy (and Syfy’s Waldorf Inspired Easter Basket!)
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 […]
