I can wear earrings again!!! Allie doesn't yank them out anymore. But she does still have her eye on my accessories. Last Sunday she just HAD to wear my necklace to church because I was wearing one too. I let her because it did match her dress. It hung to her knees! Ha! Ha!
Peppermint essential oil is the ticket to no more ants! Seriously! A few weeks ago Justin discovered ants all over the floor of the kids bathroom. Must have been 50 of them...10 minutes later, no more ants! I mixed 15 drops of oil in a spray bottle with a cup of water. Just sprayed it around the baseboards since they aren't calked and I assumed that was how they got in. Then I sprayed in the door threshold for good measure. So easy and smelled amazing like a candy cane.
The next week they appeared downstairs in the kitchen. I did the same thing but it took a few days and some wadded up paper towels soaked in the spray and stuffed along the edges of the dishwasher and oven. No more ants in the kitchen either! Oh, I am thrilled! Anybody want a candy cane?
We just watched Captain America the other night and I'm looking forward to seeing The Avengers.
I am a weed-pulling machine! Just in case you were wondering. I noticed we have some sort of hole-digging, tunnel-creating rodent in our yard. And I'm pretty sure that's a not good thing. Yep. Oh boy.
Speaking of church. (Was I?) I just got a calling in our new ward...1st Counselor in Primary. My boys are so excited to have me in Primary with them. I am looking forward to it, too! I will be over activity days, nursery, nursing home sacrament visits and music. I will be teaching a sharing time lesson to all the children under 12 once or twice a month, conducting the meeting when it is my turn, planning activities for the entire group of kids and making sure the separate age-group classes are running smoothly each Sunday. Piece of cake, right? I'm ready to jump in!
Popcorn and orange juice is calling my name. You, too?
Travis is has been running almost every day now. He is doing such a great job! I am amazed how he can run up and down all these hills in our neighborhood. He is my superman!

Congrats on your calling! You'll be great! Also, I keep wanting to try out essential oils -- your comment is further proof that I need to. :) And I get the jewely thing . . . still can't wear earrings around Brynn. Sigh! :)
Great update! I loved reading about your peppermint essential oil success. Where did you learn about that? I've just recently experienced my own essential oil success with getting rid of some viral bumps on Tian's body. I'm sold! Congrats and good luck with your new calling!
I have a natural cleaning recipe book and read out it there, first. Then I did a google search to get more information and tips( like the spray bottle). It really works! My Dad was here and saw it with his own eyes. He had plans to use it right away back at my parents' home.
Congrats on the new calling...that's exciting! I'll pop in and say hi next time we come to visit - small world that you ended up in my parents' ward!
Yes! It would be fun to see you! Your mom is great! What a small world, huh?
Going to have to try the peppermint oil! Thanks for the tip. Hooray for new calling. You will be amazing. :)
