Spring has sprung and all the lil buggies are out. Everything is waking up, scurrying around and enjoying the weather. Including us. And sometimes nature and humans don’t always mix. Recently, one of those times came up. [Read more…] about Wasp Sting Treatment

I’m BACK! With Golden Paste Too….
Hey guys! After a short break, I’m back! If you remember, my very last post, “Can We Talk: Illness On The Homestead“, I was talking about having a plan when things get a lil squirrely and someone gets sick on the homestead. I had just gotten out of a short vacation at Chateau D’ Hospital and felt that was a pretty interesting topic to talk about. Well, afterward everything went great….for about two weeks. Then I checked back in again – same symptoms, same treatment, same answer – “we don’t know what’s happening”. Anyway, here I am and by God’s grace I bounced back quickly – still standing. We still don’t know what happened, but sometimes you have to just look to the sky, say “Thank You” and not be worried about it. I’m alive and that’s all that matters. Anyway, I took a break from writing for a bit, but not from life for sure! [Read more…] about I’m BACK! With Golden Paste Too….
Pressing the Pause Button
You may have noticed that we seemed to have gone dark as of lately. Yep, yep, we have been ridiculously busy these past 2-2 1/2 weeks. We’ve been traveling for kids’ sports as both of our children swim competitively. It is a pretty grueling sport as we (the parents) spend 5-6 days per week sitting next to a pool for swim practice smelling the awesomeness of chlorine. Then you add in the swim meets, coupled with travel, it is a real doozy. For us, it is a year-round sport, except for the month of August. [Read more…] about Pressing the Pause Button
Can We Talk: Illness On The Homestead
Can we talk? No really. Go grab some tea, coffee, water, wine or a cold one, get comfy and settle in. This is going to be long, but I think worth the read…Ready? Ok.
Sickness. It’s a part of life. There will be a percentage of us that won’t see more than a little cold. But there are others, like me, that will be diagnosed with a chronic illness that changes our lives one way or another. Maybe we have to change the way we eat, sleep, exercise, or just participate in life in general. Either way, chronic illness brings both change and sometimes uncertainty.

Aloe: The Plant That Loves Neglect
My darling, Mr Green Thumb, can grow anything. He’s much like how his dad was – he can take something that was almost dead and spring it back to life. I, on the other hand, am Mrs. Brown Thumb. I kill stuff. Growing plants is just not my thing. I’ve tried before and failed miserably…except!
Aloe.
I LOVE the Aloe Vera plant. Mainly because I can completely forget about it and it not only survives, but thrives. Seriously, it is the only thing in my house that I can completely ignore and it prefers it that way. Imagine that! The more I neglect it the more it loves me. We’re a match made in heaven. I started off with one plant and now I have four. I had five, but I gave one to my sister who is also a serial plant killer. I think the plant I gave her will be happy there LOL.
