Party dip for your hair recipe number two

Combine: one egg, One table spoon honey, two tablespoons virgin olive oil and two drops of peppermint essential oil.

Mix well and leave in hair until dry.  Shampoo as usual.  I did this this morning and washed my hair twice.

My sweet boy

I had the sweetest little moment with Jonathan last night.  We went grocery shopping and he saw a bin of flowers.  Jonathan looked up and told Josh, "Daddy, we need to get mommy some flowers." Then he chose these.  I have got to have the sweetest little boy in the world!

Making Banana bread.

This is Jonathan's first attempt at my Banana bread recipe.  He calls it "breakfast bread".  I posted the recipe awhile ago.  It can be found in the archives. sorry the pictures aren't the best.

Just for fun.

   I know some of you collect teddy bears so I thought I would show you some of my collection.  What do you collect and why?  The first picture has a big Merrythought teddy from the 80s.  to his right is a sweet bear from an artist at Teddy Talk.  The white one in front is from E Teddys and the cream colored mini is from Laura Lynn Matthews.

The second picture are three unknown artist bears that I could not resist.  The third picture is an old soul, but I have no idea who made her.

The fourth picture is  of two artist bears from wonderful ladies  on Teddy Talk.

Picture number five has a smaller white bear from Laura Lynn Matthews and a vintage Padding ton bear among others.

 Picture number six has a couple bears that insisted on getting in more than one picture.  The top middle bear is from Russia, while the bottom two are a unknown artist bear that a just simply had to have.  He is next to  The Big Bad Wolf who  barks louder than he bites.  He is from Boyd's Bears.  He has never done anything bad in his life but I do have too hide the chocolate!  The last picture has a bear and a bunny who have been with me my whole life.  They have seen me through many of life's ups and downs.  I collect teddy bears because they all seem to have different a personality just like people.  I wanted to number the pictures so they would be easy to follow but I am still new to blogging and haven't figured format out yet.  What do you collect?

Happy Fourth Of July

   Hi everyone.  I hope you had a wonderful holiday.  I have been reflecting on why we have this holiday.  The reason we celebrate Independence day is because our forefathers  fought to give us freedom and there are people today who fight to protect it.  I have a deep respect for our military because, I know the sacrifices that they make.  These men and women go for long periods of time without their families so that I can be with mine.  Please look at this link and do what you can http://soliersangels.com

   The picture above was taken in my front yard this morning.

I think I was more apprehensive than they were.
