I’ve gathered the most popular recipes from this year and am giving you the Top 10 Natural Beauty and Body Recipes. These are the recipes that got the most attention from you, my readers, and were shared the most over the year.
Thank you so much for continuing to support my blog. It’s made a huge difference in our lives and I’m glad I’ve been able to share some of my experiences, my failures and my successes. I’ve definitely learned a lot about simplifying life, ingredients, and been able to focus on being healthy this year. Being the Simple Life Mom has been a great motivator to keep learning and trying more. I love seeing how my children have stepped in to create and hold us accountable to simple healthy living.
