When I was a kid, I was on antibiotics constantly for strep throat or ear infections.

Then as a teen/young adult I took antibiotics daily for years to treat acne. 

Certainly not something I'm proud of and definitely not something I'll be doing with my kids, but that's my reality and it's been a big part of my healing journey.

Now that I see health in a different light, navigating the crunchy mom arena can sometimes be hard.

I understand we get sick and antibiotics are sometimes necessary.

So what would I do if my family needed antibiotics?

I'd rebuild a healthy gut microbiome by drinking Kefir every day.
 

What is Kefir?

Kefir is a fermented drink similar to yogurt, but way more powerful. 

It's like yogurt on steroids:

  • Loaded with healthy strains of bacteria & yeast that our guts need to stay healthy.
  • Can stop the growth of harmful bacteria like SalmonellaHelicobacter pylori, and E. coli
  • Good for bone health
  • May be protective against cancer
  • Can help with digestive problems such as IBS
  • Can improve allergy & asthma symptoms

Even if you haven't taken antibiotics, Kefir is a powerhouse of nutrition and can help keep you healthy.

Where to Begin: A Real-Food Reset for Busy Families

As we step into a new year, it’s impossible to ignore what’s happening around us. Kids are getting sick more often. Chronic illness is becoming normal. Cancer, autoimmune disease, digestive issues, anxiety, ADHD — it feels like nearly every family is dealing with something. For many parents, that realization is unsettling. And it leads to a hard but important question: Is the way we’re eating part of the problem?

Homemade Raw Milk Ice Cream (No Cooking, No Junk -- Just Real Food)

We’ve had a little baby boom on the farm lately—three calves born in just two weeks, which means the milk is flowing! This time of year, the cream is thick and golden, and the milk is full of nutrients thanks to the lush summer pasture our cows are grazing. And with a little extra milk on hand, it felt like the perfect time to share one of our favorite treats: Homemade raw milk ice cream.
