Hi Alicia, I found your blog from the Bravescopes group on FB. We have several things in common, including using Beautiful Feet books for history right now with my middle schoolers. We are really enjoying it and I loved reading about your son's activities. I also agree with you on the presidential candidates and your comment in the above post made me laugh!
Your scopes have been helpful to me. I also downloaded your free ebook and have been reading it little by little. You are very wise! God bless you, Melanie in CA
{chuckle} Looks like you got your blizzard. 🙂 I *finally* got a much needed hair cut and color… that darn grey hair. 🙁 I am with you on the presidential candidates. We need to start over. Reading lot of books with the boy. Always books with the boy, and never books for myself. I even bought myself a new book, but have yet to start it.
I'm getting my hair cut on Wednesday to and wondering the same, to bang or not to bang. I have a love/hate relationship with bangs.
As for oil diffusers, I love them. I have the bamboo one from Young Living. While I'm not a person to say oils changed my life or anything, they are useful. Tea tree healed my son's wart, diffusing certain oils definitely helps with sleeping when my littles have colds, and right now I'm diffusing orange, lavender, and grapefruit to help chase away the winter blahs. Love it!
Nice! I just read The Nightingale too — Here's a link to my review if you're interested!
I have heard so many good things about The Nightingale! I just started After You, but I may read The Nightingale after. I go back and forth on the bangs too! Why are they so easy to get, and so hard to get rid of? Lol!
Girl, buy the diffuser!! We have 4 now. They rock! I'm loving periscope too! I want to jump in someday soon. You do a great job. We also are going to do our own candles soon!!!
I enjoyed The Nightingale too! Sounds like you have the making for a great February!
I enjoyed the style of your post. Quick and with lots of info. Have a great week.
Blessings, Dawn
Great post!! Totally get an oil diffuser!!! Well worth the money!! And as for the blizzard, keep it up there or go to Dairy Queen!! Lol!
