MAKE YOUR OWN GARDENER'S SOAP

Soap Mold
2 T Cornmeal
1 bar of glycerine soap
1/2 tsp of your favorite fragrance oil

Melt glycerine soap. Mix in cornmeal and oil and stir briskly. Pour soap into a soap mold of your choice and allow it to cool and set.

POT HOLDERS-From a Recipe Reader! THANK YOU:)

Some of my favorites were the handprint hot pads. trace their hands onto felt, cut out with pinking shears, and stitch to plain or checked hot pads with the name, date, and age on them. a set of each right/left. felt $0.20 per sheet (walmart) plain hot pads $1.77, permanent fabric marker for the names/dates $2.00. maybe $5. or $6. per kid, and they keep well.

RECIPE FOR GARDENER'S HANDCREAM

3 Tablespoons of beeswax
? cup sesame oil
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon of honey
2 Tablespoon calendula tea
3 drops of lavender essential oil
? teaspoon of baking soda

Mix all ingredients and heat at a medium temperature in your microwave until melted. Allow it to cool down a little then pour into jars.

Mother's Day Goodies

Mom's Day Idea:

Have the children make a handprint on white or light construction paper and then add the poem below.

Mother's Day

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and wall.

But everyday I'm growing
I'll be grown up someday
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

Puffy Coat-Gone 4 Good!

Ok, this is really silly, but I had this blue, puffy coat forever! I have to admit, even for me, and I am pretty darn easy when it comes to clothes---this coat had to go! Not only did it have stains that would never go away, but it had started to loose most of its puffy-ness---which really meant-- your outta here!

Even my boys were happy to see it go!----- Good news, a new more puffy coat has taken its place, and we are very happy together:)

washingtonpost.com - Today's Horoscope

Updated: 04 Dec 02:41

Aries (3/21-4/19)

08 Sep 04:00

For Monday, September 8 - Do you think you're in need of some inspiration in your job or schoolwork? If your brain just doesn't seem to be able to concentrate on one thing for more than five minutes, you don't need inspiration -- you need a vacation. You need to slow down. You need to take a walk, put things into perspective, and get a reality check about your place in the world. Trying so hard to keep busy could be a coping device -- are you trying to avoid dealing with something? Face up to it and move on.

Taurus (4/20-5/20)

08 Sep 04:00

For Monday, September 8 - It's time for you to have some new adventures in cooking! Wrangle up all your people, get them together, and see who is on board for a culinary trip. It doesn't have to be ambitious -- even a short day trip to a local organic farm could give you the jolt you've been looking for. Get everyone's input about where they want to go and what they want to eat. You'll be surprised how much everyone is in agreement. You might get saddled with making the plans, so be ready to play social secretary for a day or so.

Gemini (5/21-6/21)

08 Sep 04:00

For Monday, September 8 - This week starts off with a lot of opportunities brewing -- who knows what could be changing in your life over the next few days! It's only natural that your attention is drawn to the end of the week, but it should really remain right here in the present. So do your best to live in the moment and enjoy the time you're having while you are having it. There are too many unknowns to be able to assume that things are going to go completely the way you want them to.

Cancer (6/22-7/22)

08 Sep 04:00

For Monday, September 8 - Your inner 'type A' personality might not feel like coming out today, but you could really use its help! There will be a certain amount of chaos in your day, and you're going to need to get a handle on it if you want to stay on task. It's time to get picky and get disciplined! Times are very important -- make sure everyone knows when and where to meet up. Confirm reservations. Double check with the babysitter. You can't take anything for granted, today.

Leo (7/23-8/22)

08 Sep 04:00

For Monday, September 8 - Try not to postpone your big plans any longer -- you could be starting a very bad habit that will be very hard to break later on. If you don't move forward with things now, some important people might get the idea that you aren't totally sure about what you are doing. And even if you aren't sure, they certainly don't need to know about it! So it's time to turn on your bravado and pretend that you have total conviction. If you have to fake your enthusiasm, then fake it.
