Hm....some of these options sounds nice...

[justwifethings]

This is what I have been trying to get across for years, I'm so glad other people are pointing it out too. "Traditional" families often do not look at all like what a modern American or European perspective would imagine, learning an artisan trade is a wonderful way to make income within the family and can be incorporated into home education (which is a very good option for parents of neurodivergent children, such as my own parents did for me!), and having more of the family around to help out, bond together, and share the days with, from the family members we are born loving to the ones we choose to allow to join our life journeys along the way, is always a good thing, especially in these times that are potentially very dangerous for some of our more socially vulnerable loved ones who need our support more than ever.

So, in summary, yes to everything in her post, traditional families don't mean just mom and dad grasping at straws in exhaustion alone.

Donate to Assist in evacuating my family from the war in Gaza., organized by Mohammed Alhabeel

My name is Muhammad Al-Habil, a 30-year-old father of three fr… Mohammed Alhabeel needs your support for Assist in evacuating my family from

My name is Muhammad Al-Habil, a 30-year-old father of three from Gaza, Palestine. I'm reaching out for your support and empathy. Our family is facing imminent danger as Israeli forces threaten to enter the Rafah safe zone, our last refuge. We have no choice but to seek safety elsewhere. Please consider contributing to our GoFundMe campaign to help us escape this dire situation and ensure the safety of my loved ones.

In the Rafah camps, we are urgently asking for help with my family, my father, my mother, my wife and my three children, to prepare for the evacuation. Before the conflict, I was running a business to support my family, Because they are sick and old and I am their sole breadwinner. My father, 65-year-old Marwan Al-Habil, who suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure and My mother 55-year-old suffers from third-degree diabetes, high blood pressure, a herniated disc, osteoporosis, and Due to the lack of treatment for her due to the collapse of hospitals, her health condition deteriorated greatly. Also my wife health has deteriorated, as have three children Due to malnutrition and the lack of healthy food suitable for them : - Ahmed, 8 years old - Osama, 6 years old - Mira, 4 years old

I hope you will stand by us and help my family survive the conditions here and live a better life for my children, Your generosity could make all the difference in saving our lives. I will not forget your support and help to my family.

Herb: Bee Balm

(AKA: Wild Bergamot, Oswego, Horsemint, sweet leaf)

Infections of the mouth

Bee balm tea, or a tincture of bee balm diluted in water, not only freshens the breath but can also address infections in the mouth and gums. In regards to chemical constituents, bee balm is closely related to thyme and oregano, all of which contain high concentrations of thymol, which is a strong antimicrobial.2 Thymol is a major ingredient in many commercial mouthwashes, but here we have a source that can grow right in our backyard.Thymol has been shown to inhibit oral cancers in vitro.3 It would be interesting to see human clinical trials using the whole plant medicine of bee balm.

Fungal and yeast infections

Bee balm is strongly anti-fungal, lending itself to combating topical infections as well as imbalanced gut flora. Bee balm hydrosol was shown to be effective against filament formation and growth of Candida albicans.4 For topical fungal infections, try a wash made from bee balm tea, in addition to taking it internally as a tincture or tea. Seborrhea is a chronic skin condition that commonly affects the sebaceous glands. It can manifest as dandruff or cradle cap and may partly be due to a yeast overgrowth. One study showed that Monarda essential oil is a prospective antiseborrheic medicine.5 For fungal overgrowth, drink bee balm tea or regularly take drops of the tincture. For chronic vaginal yeast infections, drink the tea as well as use the cooled and diluted tea as a douche.

Urinary tract infections

Bee balm’s strong antimicrobial actions make it a fabulous remedy for urinary tract infections (UTIs). I like to combine it with a mallow (Malva spp.) or marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) to soothe the inflamed urinary tract. A preliminary in vitro study showed that when cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) was used in conjunction with thymol, there was an increased ability to disrupt the Escherichia coli (E.coli) biofilms that are often associated with UTIs.6 I find a blend of bee balm, cranberry, and marshmallow to be a lovely and healing tea for the urinary tract.

Bacterial infections

One in vitro study of Monarda punctata showed that the essential oil exhibited a broad spectrum and variable degree of antibacterial activity against different strains of bacteria that often infect the upper respiratory tract, including Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The researchers also stated, “The essential oil even caused serious morphological damage to the drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is very encouraging.”7

Digestion

Ever feel like your digestion is stuck? As if food simply sits in your stomach weighing you down? As a spicy carminative herb, bee balm can promote healthy digestion and relieve discomforts such as indigestion, bloating, cramping, and excessive gas. It is especially helpful when there are accompanying signs of coldness (e.g., white coating on tongue, abdomen feels cold, general feelings of coldness). Historically bee balm was used against cholera and is still used today to address diarrhea.

“[Bee balm] soothes gastric and intestinal pain in the absence of inflammation, especially in Cholera Morbus and overcomes nausea and vomiting. It controls diarrhea from debility with relaxation of the mucous structures of the intestinal canal.” - Finley Ellingwood, 1919

Colds and the Flu

Remember that bee balm is a diffusive herb? It brings heat from the core of the body to the periphery and can move many of the stagnant conditions associated with an upper respiratory infection. This warming diffusive quality makes bee balm a powerful, one-stop pharmacy for the cold and flu season. Reach for it especially when there are any signs of coldness, which can be as simple as feeling chilled. Infused Monarda honey can soothe a sore throat. The hot tea can ease the discomfort of a fever with chills. Herbalist Matthew Wood recommends it when there is a fever with clammy and cold skin.8 The tea or inhaled steam can loosen congested mucus in the nose and lungs.

Save those seeds!

If you struggle to find/afford good wool garments and materials (I do), I recommend shopping off the vintage racks in thrift stores and checking out military surplus. You can find a lot of great deals this way on 100% wool clothes and blankets. You can buy surplus online but if you have an outlet near you it seems to me that you can find the best deals in-store.

I really apricated this! It’s not only this way, that I had to handwash several times until know, but I’m also deeply interested how a washing board workes. And this is so unfancy and easy said. Sharing it for anyone out there, who wanted to know it as well.

The joys of a stay at home mom. You can bakein the morning, just because you found the new recipe for your family to try. 🥰

Only a month after Halloween (🥴) but we are not a costume, and shouldn’t be worn as such EVER.

CAUTION: TURN THE VOLUME DOWN BEFORE TURNING ON THE SOUND

Macedonian Romani singer Esma Redžepova preforming Čaje Šukarije, a traditional Romani song popularized by her in the 60s. 

Translation:  Little girl, beautiful and good, don’t slip by me, behind my back. Don’t slip by me, behind my back, girl. You’ve roasted and eaten me, you’ve burgled my soul – turn around and look at me, girl. You avert your eyes while my soul’s burning – bring water, little girl, beautiful and good, don’t slip by me, behind my back, girl.
