OCM or How I Washed My Face With Olive Oil
I am shocked! Shocked that it works and shocked that EVERYONE isn’t doing this. Shocked that no one told me about this sooner! For the last 3 weeks I have exclusively washed my face with a mixture (50/50) of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Castor Oil. Yep. That’s it. No soap. Just Oil. I don’t know where I first heard of OCM, or Oil Cleaning Method, but I got most of my information from this site. If you’re like me reading that will open your eyes to so many misconceptions we have about our skin and cleanliness. Here’s my experience. Now, in case you...
Read MoreBabies in a Pumpkin! (Wordlessish Wednesday)
Ok, I’m not one to thrust a crying child into Santa’s arms for a photo op. I think it is cruel and just anihlates any attempt to teach kids that they should trust their feelings about strangers.

No, I’m not pregnant! Infertile, remember??? You’d know if I was going through treatment. This is just as exciting, scary, and life changing. Today is my first day as a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)!!! I can’t say that the circumstances are the best. The situation at work has been negatively affecting my health since last October and was only getting worse each day. We aren’t in the best place financially since we were waiting for Pete to replace my job before I quit. But, I think time will show it to be the best thing that ever happened to us. For now, I have to...

Tutorial of the Week: I love this time of year in Ohio. The world just explodes with bright colors. This is the first year that Aellyn is really understanding “Fall”. She was on a walk with Daddy at the beginning of September when the first leaves fall but they are still green. She said “Look Daddy! Leaf fall down!” lol. I thought, oh girl, just you wait! This year she’s talking about halloween and going to the pumpkin patch and just wait till you see her costume (of course you can get a preview at my shop!) Check out V and Co.’s great...
