A perfect stocking stuffer. Try this fab Lavender Flaxseed Eye Pillow. It can either be used in hot or cold therapy.

Christmas 2010

The soap basket is loaded with your choice of four (4) soaps and a soaping sponge.

My husband went on a recent hunting trip to South Dakota. I heard he shot one bird in the week he was gone. My oldest boy kept his gun hot too. See above picture, ewww. They are everywhere in these parts.

Please don't judge me by the looks of the garage.

Speaking of acne, why don't I or why haven't I done this. Somebody in my house is suffering from a severe case of acne (hint: its guy with the beard). I mean all I have to do is get out my cute little bottle of tea tree oil mix a few drops of it with an ounce of one of those jugs of carrier oil in my cabinet and battaboom....instant acne relief right at my fingertips.

Fall Weekend

My boys with their buddies. We just came back from a weekend in Branson/Silver Dollar City. My youngest looks the way I feel. Wow! I am tired and wow they can eat!

Happy Halloween!

Pre Christmas Season thoughts.

I just discovered ETSY! Wow there are soooo many creative people in the world. I think I am doing all of my Christmas shopping right from this website.

Our dog, Hutch

Here's a picture of our dog, Hutch. He's a bruiser. He loves to take rides with us and most of all he likes to be right beside us at all times. He's the best dog I have ever owned.

Welcome Fall!

Tub Teasers

Tub Teasers are back!

Some call them bath fizzies others call them bath bombs. Same theory just drop a couple in the tub right before you get in and sit back and relax.

Arts and Crafts Fair

Jojoba Lotion Spritzer

Jojoba Lotion Spritzer

Jojoba oil is a fantastic moisurizer. Just shake and spritz on all areas of your body after a shower or bath. Even take it with you during the day to freshen up.

GO BULLDOGS!

When you order $20 of essentials or more just let me know and I can wrap your package in these adorable little gingham bags with tissue and fillers. They are sturdy and are made from 100% recycled material.

Even though it was 104 yesterday I still can smell Fall on the horizon. School is now in session and in a few short weeks it will be time to get the orange and yellow down from the attic. Here's to the Fall season. My absolute favorite time of year.

4th of July

Boys and their firecrackers! See smoke on the left no fire thanks to the 10 hour rain the day before.

My youngest boy

Here he is! I haven't blogged about him I am afraid you would get bored with everything that I have to say about him but let me say these few things. He's a breathe of fresh air. He is everything I am not. He's pure love. You can see it in his eyes you can hear it in his voice.....My sweet baby boy who starts middle school in a few short weeks.

Farmers Market

The Wagoner Farmers Market starts this Saturday! I am so excited and I know you will be too after you see all the wonderful and great things area residents have to offer. Come see me along with local garden enthusiasts who sell their homegrown produce and crafters who show off their wares. Its a good place to find yourself on a Saturday morning.

Happy Mother's Day 2010

I have been so very blessed with not 1 not 2 but 3 mothers. #1 birthed me, #2 came into my life at the age of 14 when she married my father and #3 17 years ago when I married her only son. I am 40 years old and never really new the meaning of Mother's Day I have found my self awful weepy as Mothers Day approaches this year. I would post pictures but they would certainly kill me. Well wait let me post their baby pictures.

Maybe at a later time still having trouble getting the pictures.....

Silver Dollar City

Silver Dollar City

Mama Bear Mama Bear. How many mama's have boarded a roller coaster with your children and thoughts raced through your mind....did they make sure he's seat belted in properly....oh no I don't think he's tall enough....and one last thought, I gotta go to the potty....

I once again thank all of my friends for bailing me out of my commitments that I had previously made on Sunday at FUMC. I appreciate you all and thank you for letting us take a whirl wind 36 hour trip to Branson this weekend.

Body Wash

All Natural Body Wash!

My soap is made of saponified oils of olive, jojoba, and coconut. I also use a little essential oil. It doesn't overwhelm the senses and lathers nicely!

Goat's Milk Soap

My boss is milking his goats again after a long winter. Goats Milk Soap is on its way.

My oldest boy!

My oldest boy with a catfish! He won't ever use any of my soap or lotion to get those stinky fish hands clean. But he likes soaking his tired muscles in my bath salts, don't tell anyone!

17 years and holding today! Yep that's my main squeeze and yep those glasses were in style in March of 93'. No one laugh! bah ha bah ha!!!! Here's to my one and only Valentine!

The Big Fish

I had a most excellent Sunday. My youngest son invited me to go fishing. I won! Haha. See my 24 inch catfish I caught with not a worm but corned beef deli meat! What an exhilarating time. I don't know who was more excited me or my boys. My oldest boy is near in nothing but his underwear so he's out of the picture. My boys are the greatest, funnest, boys a mother could ever want.

Too bad there isn't a scratch and sniff button on this computer. This lavender has an amazing scent and it reminds me that spring is just around the corner.

Anyway, during the last snow storm I finally got around to harvesting our lavender from last summer shall I say I was just plain ol' scared. I have no idea if I did this correctly but the end result was absolutely worth the wait.

Dead Sea Salts

I like to take baths! It's a treat! My schedule doesn't allow for a nice soak through the week but come Saturday and Sunday you will most often find me soaking in my 100 year old claw foot tub.

Here are the top 10 reasons I like to take a steeping hot bath with dead sea salts.

#1 Simply relaxing!

#2 I like the lingering scent of the essential oils!

#3 Its therapeutic- wait is that the same thing as relaxing? No!

#4 My skin seems to look healthier after a long soak! Seriously I don't look like a shriveled up prune.

#5 Some researchers say using dead sea salt is a great treatment for certain skin conditions.

#6 My daddy says its good for you! But there again he says vinegar baths are good for you too!!!!

#7-#10 I'll think of these reasons later!

Another rainbow shot!

Have you ever wondered where a rainbow starts? Look closely!

I miss summer!

About Me!

I am the mother of 2 boys!

Why isn't there a country song that sings about mama's and their boys! I must admit long ago and far away that I thought I needed a girl...that's a different story different day.

Relax......

Valentines Day Tub Teasers!
