Recently I had the opportunity to read and review ‘The way of fate: A True Story From the Kindertransport‘ written by George Shefi. This is a wonderful story about how the Holocaust affected a young boy, his family, and those around him.

It is very inspirational to read how optimistic he was and his sense of humor keeps the whole story very light. He was sent away by his mother at the age of 7. He traveled to England, Canada, and America before returning to Israel. Continue reading “Review: The way of fate: A True Story From the Kindertransport” →

Did you know you could change the address on your driver’s license online? I did not until today. My mom had mentioned it to me a couple of days ago. It’s not that I’ve been procrastinating on getting it done but I just haven’t had a chance to make it to the DMV.

I’ve been so crazy busy since we moved, then we were all sick, then sick again, and my vehicle has not been running properly. My main concerns have been making sure to get a ride for grocery shopping, appointments, and such. Most of the time my errands wait until the evening when others are off work and the DMV is closed then. Continue reading “MYFLORIDA.COM” →

It’s true, our little house on the pond is a wreck and I don’t know where we will put all of our guests that are coming tomorrow. Anybody else feel the same way right now?

The past couple of weeks have been super crazy. I guess everyone has been trying to fit everything in before the holiday season. Then we had the time change which is always so much fun around here… can you hear the sarcasm?

Sunday was DS15’s birthday! Yeah, he is growing up. I am so proud of all the accomplishments and progress he has made over the past few years and I know that he will continue to learn and make progress in the years to come.

In case you don’t already know DS15 has Down’s Syndrome, ADHD, and several other disorders that can make life quite challenging at times. These challenges have been hard for me to overcome sometimes as a single parent and they can overwhelm anyone at times. Life has definitely been a roller coaster over the past few years.

You may be wondering just what the heck Diatomaceous Earth is and what is used for. Well Diatomaceous Earth or (DE) is a fine powder made up of tiny fossilized plankton. It has a variety of uses that range from cleaners, health and beauty products, pest control, etc.

It is also very rich in silica which is needed for healthy teeth, skin, nails, hair, and bones. We have used it here in our home for a wide range of issues. Most recently we have used it in our Natural Facial Scrub/Mask. I try to make sure to buy the Food Grade kind as I know we will be using them in so many ways.

Reseachers have found all kinds of health benefits to DE like: Continue reading “Using Diatomaceous Earth In Your Home” →
