Baby Bird Update

Posted in Photography

We looked into the nest and this is what we saw.  Both the Momma Bird and Papa Bird were sitting on the baby birds.  It looked rather funny to see the Momma and Papa sitting on the little babies that look so large.  Guess these birds really look after their young. I’m sure one day soon we will wake up to see all of our feathered friends gone.  For now, it’s fun to see how quickly these little babies are growing up. *******Edited for Final Update******** This morning, I went out to check on our feathered friends and found an…

Review: Episencial Sunny Sunscreen

Posted in Reviews

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…

Our homeschool group did the curriculum that was available through Bead for Life.  (Munchkin did…

Cheribundi

Posted in Reviews

What is Cheribundi?  Cheribundi is a delicious, natural fruit juice made from orchard-fresh tart cherries.  It is not a concentrate.  The cherries are gently processed, so you do not miss out on all of the wonderful nutritional benefits of cherries due to over processing.  One 8 oz bottle contains 2 servings of fruit.  Cheribundi is currently offered in three different varieties: Tru Cherry, Skinny Cherry, and Whey Cherry. Tru Cherry has 50 cherries packed into the 8 oz bottle.  It’s sweetened with apple juice. This was my favorite Cheribundi drink.  The tartness of the cherries paired with the slight sweetness…

What Faith Can Do

Posted in Christian Life

What Faith Can Do by Kutless Everybody falls sometimes Gotta find the strength to rise From the ashes and make a new beginning Anyone can feel the ache You think its more than you can take But you are stronger, stronger than you know Don’t you give up now The sun will soon be shining You gotta face the clouds To find the silver lining I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what…
