Mid-February Update

by

February has been jam packed with all kinds of things. We’ve been going non-stop, preparing for our future on this path we’re headed down. It’s going to be an interesting year for sure.

February is always busy for us. My Mom’s birthday is the 11th, then Valentine’s, followed by Emma’s birthday on the 17th. I can hardly believe she is turning 16 this year. Children really do grow up quickly.

On top of all of this, we added in a trip North to visit a friend for his 50th birthday as well. It was a huge surprise and a trip that won’t soon be forgotten. A much needed blessing overall.

We look forward to our future, to the dreams we are making happen for all of us. We cannot wait to see this through and to see the abundant prosperity that we will reap through it all. God is good, all the time… all the time, God is good.

Until next time…

Healing Nature

by


Spending time in Nature can bring great joy to your soul. Just a few minutes to enjoy the outdoors can open a whole new outlook for you. The earthly and natural connection can reset your being.

In our family, we love to do outdoors things: camping, fishing, just walking through trails and connecting with nature. Our children enjoy these things as well. Even just playing outside can help your little one rest better and find emotional balance.

20 minutes a day outside also helps you to get much needed vitamins that come from the Sun. Otherwise, these vitamins have to be supplemented with vitamins to keep balance. Not having these vitamins can leave you feeling tired, emotional, stressed and just out of sorts.

Take the time to go outdoors and connect with nature every chance you get. Your mind and body will greatly appreciate it.

Until next time…

DIY Cold Remedy

DIY Cold Remedy

Winter is in full effect and with Winter comes cold and flu season. When it hits you, it hits you hard. A while back I came up with my own DIY Cold Remedy that has worked well for all of my family.

The ingredients are simple things that most of us have on hand right in our kitchens. Many natural ingredients work as antibiotics. These are great boosts to our immune system as well.

Without further ado, here is my DIY Cold Remedy:

Mix into a shot glass or similar size glass of your choice:
1/2 shot glass of Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tsps of Honey
1/8 tsp of Oregano
1/8 tsp of Onion Powder
1/8 tsp of Garlic Powder

Mix with a spoon and drink.

I take this 2-3 times a day, usually Morning, Mid-day and Nightly before bed.
It’s been a savior for me when I was feeling terrible. I’ve even used this recipe with my children.

Until next time…

Mid-January Update 2018

by

I can hardly believe we are so far into January. So far this year has been an experience. I’m definitely finding that Path fits us well this year.

Car tags had to be renewed. Efforts have been made to move forward with our plans we made on January 1st. And things continue to fall into place, despite the challenges that have come along with them.

We are busy busy busy. Kids are learning and life is being fully enjoyed by us all. Don even caught a huge fish last week which made a yummy dinner for us all!

Life is at it’s best and I am hopeful this path will continue for us well into the future.

Until next time…

Ancestry

by


I love history. It’s one of my favorite subjects and it always has been. I just love to learn about the past: where we come from and who we are.

Genealogy became a passion of mine even before I was out of high school. I remember filling out the Family Bible will all the names of my grandparents, my parents, their siblings, my siblings and so on. The fact we came from someone and somewhere was important to me.

In the early 2000’s, I began to research more and compiled names using software that I purchased. I added in photos and really enjoyed the process of learning more about my family.

Here almost 20 years later, I still have a passion for Ancestry. Now I enjoy going to the towns where family lived, seeing their graves, connecting with those who’s lives created our own. I recently resubscribed to an online website where I’ve been learning more about our family and their lives which I’ve been sharing with others. Some of it is not the happiest of truths but all of it is important information about the people who came before me and I enjoy gathering their stories and sharing them.

My daughter shares this interest, and one day I look forward to passing this info on to her for her to continue to share with our family. The stories do not die with our loved ones. Their memories live on by sharing them with future generations.

Until next time…
