I’m A Homeschooling Mom Of 15 And This Is How I Built A Company From My Kitchen

Why?

Because people keep showing up at my door to tell me that my herbal infusions helped ease their pain or soothe their anxiety. Friends are always asking for more, and they keep bringing friends along with them.

So now I’m the kind of woman who keeps half-gallon jars of blended herbs lined up on a counter. When friends come over and notice my collection of remedies, they always ask if I know how to help with anything from the common cold to migraines, inflammation, ADHD, or even infertility. Sometimes I have a blend on hand that matches their need. Sometimes we walk out to the garden to harvest a remedy. Sometimes I have to tell them they really need to consult with a holistic doctor, because they need more than a home remedy. Over the years, I've had the joy of seeing countless loved ones find relief, comfort, calm, and healing. So often, the home remedy is exactly what they needed.

I've always been interested in plants and nutrition. Even as a child, I would pretend to make medicine from the plants in the backyard, and I was amazed by the history of traditional healing. But I was a healthy kid and never needed medicine until one day, when I was on the other side of the world with an illness I couldn't seem to beat.

I was 20. I lived in Russia doing mission work, and I got sick. I thought that I would eventually recover, but for two weeks I struggled with a miserable throat condition: swollen tonsils, laryngitis, and the kind of inflammation that makes you feel like you’re swallowing glass. I wasn’t getting better. I didn’t have easy access to a doctor or pharmacy. What I had was a small book, The Little Herb Encyclopedia, and a kitchen spice rack.

That moment didn’t just help my throat. It changed the way I saw the world.

So I did what I’ve always done when something feels impossible. I started researching.

I looked up every herb I could find in that kitchen and read what traditional herbal wisdom said about each one. Thyme. Sage. Garlic. Ordinary things, until you understand what they’ve been used for for generations.

That night, I made the strongest infusion I could stand. Thyme and sage steeped dark and potent. I added honey, swallowed a couple of cloves of garlic, and hoped for mercy.

After two weeks of suffering, the swelling was gone within a couple of hours. By the next morning, I felt fine.

That moment didn’t just help my throat. It changed the way I saw the world.

From that point on, whenever someone around me got sick, family, friends, anyone, I turned to my Little Herb Encyclopedia and eventually added volumes to my library. I began to see sickness as an opportunity to discover a path to healing.

I began asking questions:

What’s available? What’s been used for this? What can we try, safely and wisely?

It wasn’t long before I became a mom. And then a mom again. And again. And again.

I’m a mom of 15 kids now, and over the past 20 years, we haven’t needed prescriptions or antibiotics except for some simple skin infections.

I don’t say that to sound tough.

I say it because it still amazes me.

When you’re raising a big family, you learn quickly what helps and what doesn’t. And with 15 children, there are countless opportunities to research and learn about remedies. That’s why I have over a dozen medicinal infusions lining my counter.

I rarely get sick and rarely need my own medicine, but I do drink relaxing and nourishing teas daily. It wasn’t until this past year or two that I ran into a problem that tea couldn’t fix.

I’m a mom of 15 kids now, and over the past 20 years, we haven’t needed prescriptions or antibiotics except for some simple skin infections.

I had a sleep problem I couldn’t solve.

For the past couple of years, I started sleeping terribly. I tried everything I could think of, and nothing fixed it, because my sleep problem wasn’t mine. It was caused by my husband snoring beside me. There’s no amount of chamomile or melatonin that can help me sleep through the noise.

After 20 years of caring for babies in the night, my nervous system is trained to wake up at the smallest sound. So when the snoring started up, it wasn’t just annoying. It was relentless. I was exhausted every morning, and it was wearing on me in a way I didn’t expect.

One night, after rolling my husband onto his side seven or eight times, I remember thinking, there has got to be something that can help him.

The next night, I reached for a blend I had originally developed for sinus congestion and headaches. I made it strong, mixed in raw honey, and had him drink it right before bed.

And he slept quietly all through the night.

Ever since then, I don’t let him go to sleep without it.

On the nights we forget, the snoring starts again. It’s that clear.

So I started asking friends, people who deal with snoring or whose spouses do, to try it and tell me the truth.

The results surprised us. Some have experienced less snoring, no snoring, headache reduction, deeper sleep, and overall better rest.

After testing Just Breathe on several friends, we’ve noticed that it seems to help people who don’t sleep with their mouth open more than people who snore mainly from mouth breathing and dry airways.

So I’m developing a new blend for dry-mouth snoring called Moon Kissed Deserts.

I’m looking for people willing to give one or both blends a try.

If you’re interested in seeing whether this might work for you the way it’s worked for me and my friends, I have an opportunity for at least 75 people to try it now. Just follow the link, get a 14-day supply, and see if it helps. I mixed up a small batch of each, and I would love for you to try it and share your results so we can learn together what helps the most.
