A New Perspective

Today was a day full of surprises. Due to some stupidity on my part, and some other things, I was up a lot last night and ended up oversleeping the boys by two hours. They had not only not destroyed the house, they didn't even make much of a mess. They did, however, find a sharpie. Thing One had "painted" his nails, and given his brother a tattoo. Not bad considering they had a completely free reign for two hours. Surprise number two: when I did get up I found a lovely and thoughtful "encouragement" card telling me that this pregnancy will not last forever. It was attached to a pack of bacon! Surprise number four (I'll come back to three): we found a box on the doorstep (we'll never know why the mailman didn't knock) and inside was a brand-new, jungle print diaper bag and a gift card. Our old diaper bag was ripped, and I'd been using a beach tote bag that was getting a little ratty looking. And jungle print happens to be on...

Health & Beauty

I had a thought the other day. . . food products used for health and beauty. I started thinking how weird I was for using vinegar in my hair (it removes the build-up, but don't use it everyday becasue it promotes the natural oils and you'll end up with really oily hair). Then I thought about all of the other things that we use: oatmeal soaps, coconut butter lotion and even cucumber slices on our eyes (although no one can tell me what that's for). All of that is rather common and we're used to seeing those on grocery shelves. My thoughts extended to the more obscure things I've used. Green tea with lemon in my hair, for instance, to give it blond streaks in the summer (lemon juice will lighten hair when exposed to sun). I did try it with raspberry tea to see if it would come out with red highlights; it didn't work too well and the effects come out with the next wash. That led me to wonder: What do you, our dear readers, do? What are the secret food related t...

Blessings and Cookies

Nick had to tell me the other day to stop obsessing about getting things "right" for Christmas. That's what the Thanksgiving Event was about--having fun, not stress. I completely forgot about that in the last few days trying to get everything done before Christmas comes. Christmas is not about celebrating with family, and having the ham cooked to golden and all your cookies delivered. It's about the birth of Christ. Put aside for the moment even what He came to do--it's the day He came! The day that the Son of God became Man and entered the world. That is reason enough to drop everything else and just be. I have found myself alternating between trying to mail christmas cards and feverishly decorating cookies, and stopping in the middle of a wild, screaming frenzy and just sitting down to enjoy the blessings I have been given. I'd like to take a moment and share them with you. I'm married to my best friend and the most wonderful man in the world. He s...
