Satisfying the Sweet Tooth: Local Honey

This little girl of mine has a definite sweet tooth. There is no doubt she got it from her mama.  oops!

 While I don’t mind enjoying a treat now and then, and believe me I do, I realize how important it is to fill our
bodies with real food.
 She and I both like the sweetness of pitted dates, but the other 3 people in the house can’t even tolerate them (their loss!).  Honey on the other hand, has never been turned away by any of my little (or big) sweeties.

We can all agree that there is nothing better than a spoonful of honey.  Except maybe that same spoonful of honey spread on a slice of warm toast, with a smear of our homemade peanut butter.  Oh my word.  Is your mouth
watering yet?

The benefits of honey are plentiful.
Here are my top 5 favorite reasons to indulge in the sweet treat (not a doctor, not medical advice):

1. It’s natural.  Not like the processed foods in the store that are labeled “natural”, but loaded full of junk.  This honey is
actually pure.

2. It’s antibacterial and antifungal.  Before you think I’m going overboard, would you let me explain?  I have little kids, some of which put everything in their mouth and touch everything in sight.  I can use all the immune-boosting properties I can get, and so can they!

3.  It’s a natural cough suppressant and it works far better, and much quicker, than over the counter remedies.

4. It can be used to fight allergies.  Only one of us really suffers here, but the local honey helps immensely!
5. It’s delicious.  Really that’s the only reason I need, the other benefits just help me to enjoy it guilt free.

This particular bottle of honey was a birthday gift given to my husband from our pastor and his wife. The brand is called Hopp-N-Honey and is available for purchase through them.  Message me if you’d like their contact info.   

The flavor of this honey compared to other brands I’ve tried is richer, sweeter, and overall more flavorful than the majority of store-bought honeys that I’ve sampled.  It’s safe to say this is our new favorite. 🙂

Home Educator Tip:
I like to tie everything into Home Educating that I can.  When I cracked open the lid on the honey today I also decided we’d watch a show or movie about bees.  We’ve already watched The Bee Movie over a dozen times, so I wanted something different. I found Reading Rainbow’s “The Life Cycle Of The Honeybee” on Amazon.  It’s episode 8 on Season 1, you can watch it with Amazon Prime Video.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
