Relaxation in SIght

Travel Trailer - Night 1
Our first night on the property in our travel trailer was a SUCCESS! Thank you Heavenly Father for all of our wonderful blessings! This is the one I am celebrating right now! Sleep!

Addie slept better last night than she has in 35 days…she woke at 6 am to eat and then back down again till 8 am. Probably because I had a plan for our early morning. We were going to walk around the lake…exercise. She must of heard me thinking exercise and decided to sleep instead! The boys slept through the night and in the same bed for the entire night! They even slept through Toby leaving this morning. Anyone who has had a family in a travel trailer  knows that this is a huge success! God is watching over us and knew that we needed to kick this next part of our adventure off with ease. 

It is Day One of waking up on the property, boys have ate and brushed their teeth and now at 11:30, they have played cards, pulled weeds, created mudpies and are now swimming! 

Addie is down for her morning nap, which she went down on her own…other moms know this in itself is an achievement. 

Now I sit here with my refresher in hand listening to the boys playing “nicely” together…furnace men clanging and banging in the house and Addie resting peacefully! All while sitting in the sun with our beautiful lake in front of me.


Day 34 of this adventure that we are on and right now at this moment I think this is the most at peace I have been. The adventure has been just that “an adventure”…everyday. It has been a lot with more patience shown than any of us knew that we had!

"Kick a Bug Juice"

A while back I was tackling that uncontrollable pile of magazines that always acculmulates in my house. I came across a recipe for "kick a bug" juice. I hung it on the cupboard and thought I would use it the next time I was sick. Well, about six months later...I have a head cold that is just lingering on. Mom of two little ones being a the slightest bit sick is no fun at all. So I threw together the "kick the bug" juice. I just so happend to have all the ingredients on hand. I am not sure if it is the mixture that is kicking the bug or the thought of actually drinking this concoction that makes one think themself better. Nonetheless I am giving it a try and will definately report back on how I think it works. The recipe comes from Carolinas Natural Health Center. Kick-a-Bug Juice Indications : Sore throat or any inflammation or infection in the throat and neck ear infections nasal or sinus congestion This potent juice will amp your immune system and get y
