Before and After...(Keeping it Real)


Sometimes we moms have to help our pitiful sons get their rooms back in order...


Here's the mess that greeted me this morning... I decided a fall sorting was needed...


Now that it's back to normal... We'll see how well he does at keeping it that way!!!

Herbs? Really?


I never would have dreamt as a kid growing up, that I would have even the remotest interest in herbs.  I'm not even sure I was aware of what they were ...


Now, I'm completely intrigued by not only their flavoring capabilities, but also all the wide varieties of medicinal properties.  Every time I learn something new I'm reminded of that verse...

"I have given every green herb for meat"

It's pretty cool to realize that even weeds, annoying though they be, have value.  God never made no junk...haha


So I picked the cultivated "weeds" and dried them behind my wood stove. It works like a charm...I recommend everyone have one of those...


In the end, Shawn gets to enjoy the benefits of this homegrown tea. It's good for calming him down. I won't go into all the whys of it all, this blog post would never end. 😃  For now, just enjoy the simplicity of it...until next time...
