Essential Oils
What my parents didn't have was the science behind our bodies and how much our thoughts (emotions) as well as our actions have an effect on our body. Every thought we have in our brain has a physical or chemical make-up in our body. Our thoughts or emotions produce a chemical which spurs many other reactions in our body such as hormones and have an effect on every function of our body from digestion to disease.
Lemon oil is great to add to your ice water. Don't worry about keeping lemons around, when you can just add a drop when you need it. Its great for your liver and blood! And as we all know citrus is very uplifting. Its also a great cleaner-keeps things bright and shiny!

Mom on the RUN!
http://tuffmotherondarun.com/ (check out her blog she is awesome)
and decided that I needed to commit to some sort of exercise pattern. And I did for about 3 weeks I worked out to the insanity videos and then I went on Christmas vacation and never got back into that routine. I truly love exercising but have replaced my exercise morning time with scripture reading and piano practice. I do go on bike rides with the kids and do kid stuff during the day hours and evening hours are spent with my husband so I can't do everything. But after I get through my basic piano lessons I will be substituting every other day with exercise. I am so excited!

I'm am committing today to do this. I don't expect perfection but I do expect a miracle and some change. I will not yell anymore. There has been weeks that I have gone with out but that is it and it is completely damaging to the spirit in my home and to the hearts of my awesome children as well as my sweet and loving husband. I know that I can do this, I do it in front of people all day long and its time to show my children how to really learn and grow and be who I want to be. I don't want to have a guilty feeling any longer. Yes, I am motivated! I'll keep you posted on my NO Yelling progress! I too will be making a pretty big deal with the orange.
I home-school and so for our project today it will be "Go Orange"!!!!
This is the link to her website-she is amazing and brave and a genius for posting this stuff! Love it

Easter wreath
Justin made me an egg shaped frame and then i used an old burlap sack; wrapped it around the frame and stuffed it with newspapers. Then I wrapped ribbon around the whole thing. I used old Easter egg shells and wrapped them in the "peaches and cream" brand yarn. Grabbed some random flowers and greens and wha la. So fun. Glad I got one more project finished.

No pinterest browsing = projects completed
Since vowing to not look at pinterest about two months ago. I have accomplished much. There are more coming soon.
I didn't make all the magnet paper dolls, I just put them in a new tin that is smaller and easier to carry around.
The two apple frames I just repainted from green to my beloved navy blue color which I got a whole quart free from Louie's Ace in Fallon. They were having a paint promotion for clark & kensington brand this last Saturday.
Great fun. All this and homeschool yesterday. It was an awesome day!

Family Quote #3 2013
Most gracious Lord.
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.
Stay thou nearby.
Temptations lose their pow’r
When thou art nigh.
In joy or pain.
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
Most holy One.
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
I need thee, oh, I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior;
I come to thee!

Dirt & water make...
Yes of course how could I forget that good fun (the best fun) comes with a mess. I love the freedom my kids have.
Old jewlery turned new
So I had some family and friends give me some old jewelry. So I made some new earrings. Love redoing things. Roslyn said she wants her ears pierced... we'll see. I haven't quit decided what to do along those lines.

Learning co-op
Great learning co-op meeting yesterday. Had scholastics outside, which was a little cold but we managed to find a nice sunny location.
I am in charge of the 3-5 year old kids. We reviewed our letters song and then glued craft popsicle sticks into the shape of the letter of our first name and then played alphabet don't eat pete with m&m's.
After scholastics we went to the indoor pool in Fallon and had a blast. Thanks to Kim and Annalee and Jane who helped play and keep an eye on my kids and Zsenean for bringing her awesome floaties!
I love crafting...
I vowed sometime at the beginning of February that I would not look at pinterest until all my current projects were completed and this is what happened. Yeah for me. Only a few more to go... sorta!
Changed Blogspot!
I recently changed my blog at the beginning of this year to make more of a journal of my happenings and doings in my family and of myself. Soon I will be able to put all of my thoughts ideas and aspirations into a colorful book for years of fun to come. Very exciting. Also I was changing my email address! Lol!
Responsibilty to society and family!
I am a christian women with a strong sense of responsibility to my family and my community. Luckily for me, those two things are intertwined in every faucet. I know that women (with their spouse) possess the divine ability to create children with heavenly father. Not all women are capable because of their bodies but in their heart and mind they have the same motivations and yearnings and should be used for the betterment of society in the same way a mother with her biological children does. This ability sometimes considered a right is very often taken lightly. I myself have been a culprit of this very same offense. I hope to help encourage women of all walks of life to evaluate their current postion in life; daughter, wife, mother, step-mother, aunt, grandmother, friend to wake up the real challenges and responsibilities of today's society's. We can change societys ways and make this world a more wholesome family friendly place to live, laugh and love TOGETHER.
