Full House, Warm Hearts

Apr. 21, 2008 - Homemaking This Week

Last week was such a busy week for me. I was canning, mending clothes for my neighbor,

gardening, getting the grocery shopping done, and filing taxes. Bleck- I hated that! I went to an accountant to file. We also incorporated the business!!! YAY! We are now an LLC!

Homemaking list for last week that I did get done:

Finish the ezine
Canned jelly (orange and maraschino cherry)
Updating the Deluxe Edition
Made homemade laundry soap

The homemade laundry soap this week and will be putting the instructions on the Deluxe Edition- along with the bread and butter pickle recipe. Keep an eye out for those!

Books I'm currently reading or about to read and HIGHLY recommend: Hiding in Plain Sight by: Ken Bowers - A LDS based book about secret combinations in the last days. You can purchase it through its publisher at www.cedarfort.com

The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict (BK Life) Institute, Arbinger

http://www.arbinger.com/en/home.html What if conflicts at home, conflicts at work, and conflicts in the world stem from the same root cause? And what if individually and collectively we systematically misunderstand that cause, and unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve?

Bonds That Make us Free by Terry Warner Terry Warner's own treatment of his work around the problem of self-deception. The book is intended for a general audience. http://www.arbinger.com/en/home.html

Herbal Remedies

As highly recommended by my chiropractor: Monolaurin - Adults 3/meal for 1 week for kids 1 capsule 2x daily at meals.

Herbal Resistance (found at Vitamin Shoppe) as directed and

P73 Oregano Oil (found at Vitamin Shoppe) as directed

Seeing the benefits that the oregano oil has done for me and even Bella's spider bite, He said that these three things should be in every home and used whenever you feel the slightest bit of sickness coming on.

Allergy Testing

I will be getting some further testing as far as allergies and other natural therapies such as: detoxification, live blood analysis, tissue mineral analysis, energy medicine, and saliva hormone testing from the following naturopath: http://www.laluzcenter.com who is local here in North Carolina if anyone is interested. I will be seeing her in two weeks and will let you know the findings. She will be doing the live blood analysis on the first visit.

I recently discovered an allergy/sensitivity to: potatoes, wheat, tomatoes, bananas and latex.

As a pleasant end to my post, pictures of the DELICIOUS jelly I made! We're finding new "excuses" to eat it!
