7:50am

I hate this time of year.
Everyone here is sick with a cold,
congestion, coughs and a little
bit of sore throats.

I did find another convenience about
having the bus stop out front of our house,
if I have a sick child not attending school
I don't have to drag them out of the house
while I take the other one to the bus stop.

Today is Jonathan's turn to stay home
from school sick. Runny nose, sore throat
& cough.
And myself, I am still wobbling around.
I try to rest my foot when I can.
But it is very hard to stay off my feet
when I have so much to do like
laundry, dishes, care for sick kids.
And I too have the cold. Getting better
but now have the cough which sucks
because coughing too much causes
your ribs and chest to hurt.

Here is my newest recipe for Pop Tarts.

Petit Fours

...

Here is what an actual Petit Four
looks like but they are usually made
with cake.

Glade has printables for Christmas that
you can print out and put together.

They have these items to print with designs on them:
2 placemats
name tags
wrapping paper
6 3-d ornaments
napkin ring
2 cards
& different shaped cut outs.

I have a couple bottles of spearmint
baking oils. When refilling
my vaporizers I put a little
bit of spearmint oil in it
and the whole house instantly
smelled so good.
I don't see why you couldn't use
any fragrance of essential oils.
It relaxes you and makes you breath
deeper to smell the fragrance.

I was browsing different fragrances
(of essential oils not baking oils)
to see what was available for
the upcoming holidays.
Pine Needle
Cloves
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Balsam Fir (my favorite)
