The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

1 // SMILE’S PRID HOMEOPATHIC DRAWING SALVE
I’ve been meaning to share this homeopathic salve for months.  We use it most often for bug bite relief but it also supposedly works on blisters, splinters and ingrown hairs.  And a little goes a long way!  A good one to keep in your medicine cabinet.   

2 // A WAY TO USE UP A BOX OF CHEERIOS
We had a box of plain Cheerios in the back of the pantry that was nearing its expiration date.  Since no one was very keen to eat them, I searched for a way to use them up.   Enter No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars!  It’s a super easy recipe and needs only three ingredients, although we drizzled the top with melted milk chocolate because we’re sugarholics.  A yummy treat.   

3 // THIS PRAYER WHEN LIFE FEELS DARK AND SCARY

I found this prayer recently and will keep it on hand for the times I feel overwhelmed and worried.

4 // A CREATIVE WHO RECREATES AMERICAN GIRL DRESSES
By the wonder of the Internet, I stumbled on a really cool series on the blog, Stars + Field: The Kirsten Project!    The research and attention to detail on her finished pieces are just incredible.  I’m selfishly hoping that she moves on to Samantha (the American Girl doll I had as a kid) next.   


5 // A BOOK FOR BEGINNER READERS
I’ve mentioned this little book on the blog before, but since we recently pulled it off the shelf again, I thought I’d share it again.  We’ve used ABC See, Hear, Do: Learn to Read 55 Words for speech practice (for my son with a speech delay) and for learning letter sounds and it’s a big hit for both.  Highly recommend.
