reNeu Aloe Moisturizing Cream


When I hear the word or see Aloe I think of healing. Growing up my mother always had an aloe plant to help heal my many wounds. I my skin was always breaking out or getting scrapes and there was always an aloe stalk to break open to put aloe on my sores with.

Add Aloe to a cream and you have me hooked. Healing my skin while moisturizing is fantastic. Great for everyday use, dry skin, sunburns. Also no scent which is great for those who don't like scent.

passing the salt & pepper

We live a busy family life but we always make time to sit around the table for meals while passing the salt & pepper.

Easy to fill, caps go on and off easily, and are great for other spices as well.

My first Hand Trowel





Really up until now we have just had a shovel to garden with along with our hands. My father had all of the neat tools, and I am sure if he were still alive I would be able to use all of them, but alas he is not, and his tools were long gone before I decided to garden, so here I am the third year into gardening.

I know have a ratchet pruner, the said shovel, and now this really nice Hand Trowel from LifeWell. I also have a garden knife which is quite nice too.

This year we still used just the shovel because the tools I did get came after we had already planted. Next year I hope to have a few more pieces to make my gardening easier.

With Fibromyalgia I need all of the help I can get to stay on top of my garden and planting. Thankfully I have a great teenage daughter who loves to garden, she has been a Godsend. I love how the handle and trowel are strong and sturdy.

Even though we have not owned a trowel before I have looked and to be honest I was't impressed, most would bend with a  little pressure from your hands, I had no idea how they would stand up to hitting a rock, or breaking up rough ground. With the LifeWell hand trowel I don't have to worry about that it is sturdy and has already stood up to my daughter using it in the garden, plus is looks really nice once cleaned up and put away. Still has some shine to it.


You can find the LifeWell Hand Trowel on Amazon.

Getting ready for back to school part 1


I know many of my readers children have already made the trek back to school but here in Marksville we have 2 weeks before we start back which means getting the children and myself back into the groove of early bedtimes, early wake up calls, as well as making sure everything is ready for the first day of school and every day after that.

I used to be able to do this mom thing with my eyes closed but as I have aged and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, on a bad day I forget just about everything, kind of go in a circle all day long in somewhat of a daze not getting anything accomplished.

So being prepared with a schedule. I am not fond of that word. The only time I ran a schedule was when I had a child care otherwise our lives have always been a bit of a hey lets do this and we do it no plan needed really. Now I need that schedule to help me get through a hour, day, week, month, season, year, I think you get the picture.

If you are finding that you need a little pick me up to your mornings why not try out Make over your mornings , you might be surprised by how much it can help you out.

Have Bands will travel





The FitWellYou Resistance Band Set somewhat reminds me of the set of cords my mother had that she attached to the door to do exercises while I was growing up. I always wanted a set. This is not the same exact thing but close enough until I find that one, if they even make it anymore. 

Resistance bands are nice because you can start with light and move up at your own pace to the heavy if you ever even make it that far. I have Fibromyalgia so I am at the light most of the time and on good days I am able to go to medium but no heavy for me, maybe never but it is there to use for my older children who borrow this from time to time to do their own exercises. 

Easy to set up, only takes  a little bit of room. No more huge gym sets to get in the way. These are also portable so you can take it with you on vacation. One word of caution, make sure you lock the door that you will be using this on or attach to a room that does not have anyone inside so you know you won't have any guests dropping in or more likely an unwanted fall on your part.

You can find the FitWellYou Resistance Band Set on Amazon.
