And just to catch up...
DiD, congratulations on finding that awesome man that turns you into a happy, jumping smiley! And that's so neat that you've got a new step-dd as well. How totally fun. I really hope this guy is The One for you.
You should write in your blog!
SashaBreeze, good luck on your new personal fitness plan! That sounds great. As for the rosemary oil, it's supposed to be the most magical EO for hair.
It stimulates hair growth, helps hair grow stronger & healthier, & helps with dandruff or flaky scalps. You could use any other EO you'd like. If you do make the shampoo with the dried rosemary though, I'm not sure if that herb would overpower the scent of your EO though.
. You should just try it out. Doesn't hurt to try!
Fairymom, your blog is just fine & dandy. Your pictures are great!
Wendy, I love all your new pictures & posts! And yeah, posting pictures is soooso easy on blogger now. They recently made it so much simpler than it used to be. I love it. That's cute about your goofy goodnight poem. My kids have a very definite routine & a whole paragraph of goodnight things they expect me to say to each of them the moment we turn the light off. They get frustrated if I mess with their routine, or don't start the goodnight spiel the moment the light's off. lol
Thanks for sharing all your bedtime story routines!
For those of you that homeschool, how much pre-planning do you do before the school year?
I've been thinking a lot about this, & this year have decided to try experimenting. I've planned out the whole 1st 4 weeks of school for my 7th grader, & almost 5 yr old. I wrote everything into my teacher's planner, made all the copies & put them in folders for each week. We'll see how it goes. If I like it, next time I'll try pre-planning for 6-12 weeks or something. I'm always thinking ahead about how someday I'll be homeschooling a whole pile of kids at once & want to make it run as smoothly as possible. I don't want to keep spending so much time every morning trying to decide on & gather up supplies for each kid.
