All weekend lovelies..all weekend this song has been on repeat in my noggin.  Reading Outlander series..still got "all the cool kids"...doing dishes.."cool kids cool kids'...snuggling with my furbabies..that's right y'all "wish that I could be like the cool kids.." So I thought let me post this so we can all enjoy having this tune on repeat!!  Thankfully I do love this song, but I am not sure if family and friends do now that I have been humming the chorus all weekend..(gulp) Cool Kids by Echosmith Happy Sunday Funday y'all! 

Hello lovelies...I have held off on updating y'all because I wanted to give a good amount of time to keep learning about these oils, see how they work with me, see how they work on my parents, etc. Since I made my first purchase of essential oils, I have made 3 more and y'all I am in love with these oils!  They have made such a difference in a variety of ways.  My mom and I split each order and I have used this time to slowly start learning more and more about the oils (history, uses, research, etc.) and I must say I am extremely impressed and floored at their effectiveness and ease of use. Now these are not a cure for any illness, diagnosis, etc., but they have helped me out with several of my health issues (headaches and stomach issues for just a few).  Every order has contained the oils to create a headache helper blend and an oil that helps calm or soothe the stomach.  Again, it has not cured me of any health issues but boy does it help calm the side effects ...

What can I say.. I love a little alliteration:) If you know me or read my blog frequently you know several truths.  The first of which is that I am a huge animal lover.  I love animals, think they are adorable, should be spoiled, talked to, sang to, pampered routinely, etc.  I am blessed that I was raised around a variety of these little furbabies and now have a few to call my own.  The second truth is that I am a huge proponent of tea.  Admittedly this goes to the non healthy and healthy varieties (eck!) but I do love me a cup or glass of tea at almost all points in the day! In trying to expand my blog I want to incorporate my girls in here more often and continue expanding on gluten free options.  So for the next bit I will be doing a series on healthy teas with little pictures of my little Ms. Taylor:)  Please sit back with  your tea (or beverage of choice) and enjoy! Today's tea is...... Tiny Tea by Your Tea If you are on Instagram you...

General Information Genre: Romance/Magic Publisher: Berkley Trade Published: October 28, 2014 Book Summary (per author's webpage) County Mayo is rich in the traditions of Ireland, legends that Branna O’Dwyer fully embraces in her life and in her work as the proprietor of The Dark Witch shop, which carries soaps, lotions, and candles for tourists, made with Branna’s special touch. Branna’s strength and seflessness hold together a close circle of friends and family – along with their horses and hawks and her beloved hound.  But there’s a single missing link in the chain of her life: love… She had it once – for a moment – with Finbar Burke, but a shared future is forbidden by history and blood.  Which is why Fin has spent his life traveling the world to fill the abyss left in him by Branna, focusing on work rather than passion. My Thoughts: This was a fantastic conclusion to the The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy.   I have found upon looking at NR body of wor...

Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles.

Today is one of the best days of the year!!!  It is the birthday of my daddy:)  Now obviously I am biased, but I love my dad's birthday and any time where I get to share with everyone how lucky my sister, mom and I are to have dad in our lives.  If you have been following my blog for a while, or have worked with me, talked with me, etc. you know my dad has and still is dealing with some medical issues so every holiday, birthday, special occasion is always something I am thankful for because there have been some times where we did not know if we would be fortunate enough to have dad with us or home with us, etc.  Thankfully on this birthday my dad is doing very well and I can't wait to celebrate his birthday with him and mom! Love you daddy!
