Muscle Rub

Coconut oil +Shea butter+cayenne pepper+ bees wax+ wintergreen and deep blue oils = one amazing muscle rub. 

Yes, I found this recipe on Pinterest. I find every thing on Pinterest. I should get a award for the amount of Pinterest ideas I use. 

This actually warms up like a muscle rub and feels nice.

Carrot Zucchini Bread

I think these are the best looking muffins I have made. They are zucchini carrot. I will definitely be making these again. 

I found this recipe on Pinterest. Definitely not a Pinterest fail. The only difference is that I did not have enough zucchini so I added grated carrot.

What a Father Looks Like

This is what Fathers Day really looks like. Two dogs climbing on your lap while your son ask you to look at his foot. 

This is after one child came in the house with a mouth full of blood. This is after he spent the afternoon working in the garden and trying to fix our dryer. The role as dad never stops. From the moment he wakes up until after he is asleep he is either be touched by a child or he is at work providing for his family.

Changes

Things are changing. Changing so fast that my head is spinning. What you see in this picture is my child eating pepporoni pizza. My child who ate a hamburger this week. My child who has only eaten a handful of foods his entire life. Okay when he was a baby he ate but by the time he was four he was down to five foods.

My head spins with all the wonderful things this child is doing.

How to Handle the Doctors Office

This morning Jacob had his third follow up since leaving the hospital. The doctor has decided it is time for him to see a ENT. His ears look worse this week than last week. 

Not that you could tell by looking at these pictures but his ears are infected again. 

I don't know about you but I tend to make early morning appointments. This appointment was for 7:45. The earlier the better. It helps that the office is not busy, the nurses are not over whelmed and my children are not tired. I also try to be prepared. I brings snacks and a drink. Even for myself. I bring crayons and let the kids color on the papers that are on the beds. 

And I try to write my questions down because I know I will forget them once I am there. This morning I only had one extra with me. I don't mind taking them all but it is easier to listen when we go alone.
