Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Homemade Deodorant

I like using a salt crystal myself, but this is a very nice deodorant alternative for those of you who like some fragrance and a little more protection. This recipe comes from ThePolivkaFamily.com

Homemade Deodorant, That Lasts All Day

Ingredients:
Empty Deodorant Container 
3 Tbsp Coconut Oil 
2 Tbsp Beeswax
2 Tbsp Baking Soda 
2 Tbsp Arrowroot 
⅛ tsp Tea Tree Essential Oil
⅛ tsp Lavender Or Rosemary Essential Oil

Directions: 

Melt beeswax and coconut oil in a pan or double boiler over low heat. Whisk in the baking soda and arrowroot powder. Remove pan from heat, and stir in essential oils. Add more if it isn’t fragrant enough for you. Pour into deodorant container. Leave uncapped for 24 hours or until cool. Then cap.

If you need essential oils, PLEASE check out Young Living Essential Oils.
