OK…… so we may not have a ton of bugs that bite here in our new glorious homeland….but the ones we do have find me. By find, me I should say camp out and have a picnic. I still haven’t figured out what the heck these bugs are as I can’t see them, only the aftermath.
Today I am being proactive and getting my essential oils ready for the season. With 5 drops Lavender, 10 drops Peppermint and 10 drops Purification oils, I put them in a glass spray bottle and top it up with water. I am now ready to take on the outdoors and these little suckers!
We have four….four fur babies. Two dogs and two cats. I can’t imagine our family without them. Two dearly missed pets preceded these four and just like our humans, losing them never gets any easier.
They have personalities and character that keeps us laughing (sometimes cringing) everyday. We are rarely without the pitter patter of four legs in this house and when they aren’t here, it is somewhat eerie.
There are so many out there that need a home. Not just any home but one full of love and understanding. Like raising a family we have to teach our fur babies how to behave, how to be good, how to do the right thing. Like family we have to expect that things will go sideways and you have to deal with it. When teaching your child to potty train and it’s not sinking in, would you abandon all hope and get rid of them? hmmmm probably not. So why oh why do people do this with their pets?
Please watch the video until the end~ it really puts having a pet into perspective. I tried to watch it again but it just made me so sad. Please, please think about giving pets as gifts. Really think about the impact on your life when you decide to get one. Is it right for you? If you have to think about it maybe the answer is no.
For Mother’s Day this year, I was given the gift that keeps on giving. My #1 daughter was so thoughtful in sharing her cold that just won’t go away.
I don’t generally get sick with viruses very often (I usually just wreck stuff like ligaments and bones) but when I do my body enjoys making it last as long as possible. Of course there never seems to be the option of just lying around and trying to get better as something always needs to be done or appointments to keep, so you learn how to be a functioning zombie- so……much……fun!!!!!!
I am totally into essential oils from Young Living. Seriously folks!!!!! Oils are the bomb!!! I’ve made bug spray, face toner, pain killers….just to name a few. I keep a recipe book with all my finds and it just keeps getting bigger. Since riding out this cold bug isn’t an option I thought I’d kill it with oils and today I found what looks like it may be my cure (I may share with #1, she is still sick too~maybe…..well I suppose it would be the motherly thing to do).
Surviving the Stores is the site I found what appears to be the cure and I can’t wait to brew this baby up! If I make it out alive I’ll be sure to let ya’ll know!!!!
