Award Ceremony

Posted in Christian Life

Last night, Munchkin had her Awana award ceremony.  It’s hard to believe that the year is already over.  The girls had so much fun each week.  We were missing one of the girls in our little group.  It was a bit sad that she wasn’t able to be there for the final week.

Summer is almost here, and the kids are all outside playing. Sunscreen is essential in battling the effects of the harsh Arizona sun. I’m always concerned about all of the chemicals that are in traditional sunscreens, but the organic sunscreens that we have tried have been sticky, thick, and/or ineffective for us. The first thing I did when I received the Episencial Sunny Sunscreen was to smell it. It genuinely was fragrance free as stated. The sunscreen itself was light and creamy. It went on smoothly and felt more like a lotion than a sunscreen. It was quickly absorbed into…
