Safe Haven Newsletter: Homeschool and Health Tips

This is the Homeschool and Health Tips edition of Safe Haven Newsletter!

First, I wanted to share with you a homeschool curriculum creator that I have liked for a VERY long time. Valerie McClintick at Crafty Classroom makes the cutest, most innovative curriculum for Preschool, Kindergarten, and Elementary that I have ever seen. Check out her amazing Spelling resources here and look for the coupon that’s good until Aug. 31. You’ll need to act fast!

Another curriculum creator/homeschooler I have followed for a VERY long time is Carisa at 1plus1plus1equals1.net. She is a former Montessori Kindergarten teacher who became a homeschool mom, then started a blog and went viral with her curriculum that she created for her own children. It is not your run-of-the-mill Preschool, Kindergarten, and Elementary curriculum. It lets your children play, imagine, and create as they’re learning basic skills. She has free printables and some you can buy. Make sure you scroll all the way down so you can find the free ones. And sign up on her site so you can have freebies sent to you.

~ I’m not an affiliate for either of these curriculum creators, but I just really want you guys to know about them!

Lately, people are becoming more concerned about their health, especially the health of our children. I want to tell you about a few products that you can make yourself that will be much safer for your children than the stuff they sell in stores.

I have heard from Dr. Judy Mikovits that we should never use sunscreen. But nobody wants to get a sunburn, right? Here’s something you can make yourself that will be much better for you and your children.

Natural Sunscreen

1/4 c shea butter
1/4 c zinc oxide
1/4 c coconut oil

Take 1/4 c of these combined oils
and Add a splash of each of these:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Avocado Oil
Carrot Seed Oil
Red Raspberry Seed Oil
Jojoba Oil
Any essential oil for fragrance (ie. lavender)
Vitamin E

Heat until completely mixed. It will thicken as it cools.
Reapply every hour in direct sun. Waterproof.

Here’s a video about it.

If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making it yourself, you can find it here:

Shay’s Naturals sunscreen

Another site that has Natural products like sunscreen and repellent is Creative in SC. I can get to the site on my phone, but not on my computer.

~ Here’s a natural bug repellent that I have made myself, and my husband, the mosquito magnet, says it really works.

All you have to do is mix these essential oils with olive oil and you will make a mosquito repellent that works better than commercial insect repellents.

Recipe :
• 2 f oz Extra virgin olive oil
• 10 drops of lemongrass oil
• 8 drops of eucalyptus
• 5 drops of lavender

The mixture works as a great bug repellent as well as a few benefits for the skin.

Olive oil is one of the best things to use to make your own repellent because it’s also an organic insecticide.

~ One last health tip that I think is very exciting involves hydrogen peroxide.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE: H202 has the extra Oxygen molecule that cancer can’t stand. Put it on a cotton ball, or wash cloth for larger areas and rub all over skin. 3x/day, especially when you get out of the bath & shower, as your pores are open and more apt to getting it into the bloodstream. The skin absorbs the HP, and kills the CA cells almost immediately.

The article I took this from has more information about dealing with cancer. If you would like to see the whole article, let me know, and I can send you the link.

Oh, one more tip!
Drink lemon water. Drink it in the morning and before bedtime on an empty stomach. This kills viruses, pathogens, the toxic bacteria, and helps rid the body of toxins while alkalizing the blood and liquids within our system. We need these electrolytes to help co-facilitate further healing.

Let me know if you like these tips and want more in future issues of Safe Haven Newsletter.

Also let me know if you have any prayer requests. I know some are dealing with family issues, some with health issues, and others with anxiety, actually too many issues to mention; but I also know that God is bigger than any problem, no matter how impossible it seems. I’ve got one of those myself right now that I’m trusting God to take care of.

It’s  hard, but we have to hold onto our faith no matter how devastating or unfair or impossible our situation seems.
