Sorry Folks

I know I’m long overdue for a personal entry!! In any case, things around here have been crazy busy, and it doesn’t really look like it will be getting any less busy either, especially with school in full swing.

Girls got signed up to play soccer. I figured I would let them try it, and see if they like it. It turned out to be a pretty expensive thing, but I’ll find the money somewhere, I always do. Anyway, we should know in about a week when their practices will be and such.

Geez, I really don’t know what to talk about. Don’t really have a lot on my mind.

The girls are doing well, as always. They are excited to start school, though we never really stopped. They are doing their chores exceptionally well, without a lot of hassle from me, when we are not so busy that the chores get moved down the priority list that is.

Desi’s birthday is coming up soon. It’s hard to believe that my baby girl will be 9. She is such a bright funny girl. Tries so hard to be a grown up sometimes, but than acts like a little kid again. She is deffinitely coming into herself, if you know what I mean. She has her own thoughts and opinions on things, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, though that does get her in trouble sometimes, as she doesn’t always have the nicest attitude when speaking. Well anyway, I’ll save this for my birthday post that I hope to do, closer to her birthday.

Well, guess that’s about all for now. I hope for the girls to start their blogging again. I figure it will be good experience for them with the new school year, so keep a lookout for their posts!! They love comments, probably more (just slightly) than I do!!

Blessings!!

natural skin care products

I’m always in favor of natural anything, basically, providing that it works for what I need. natural skin care products are a big favorite in my book as well. Why would we want to use unnatural things on our body? In any case, this year I was on the lookout for some sort of anti-itch medicine for when the kids and I get bug bites. I found this great cream that is put out by Aveeno. I really can’t say how “natural” it is, but it’s a lot better than a lot of them, and it really does make the itch go away!! They also have a oatmeal powder that you put in your bath that also helps with itching…The girls said that it worked great…That one I can say is natural, because when you read the box, the only ingrediant is oatmeal!!
