I just "made" my own lotion! Sort of... I took a bottle of Aveeno unscented lotion, dumped it all out in a bowl (easier said than done), added orange and pachouli essential oils, mixed, and put the lotion back in the bottle. In the process I got rather messy and now I am totally covered from head to toe in my new lotion so as to not waste the bits I couldn't get back into the bottle. I smell wonderful! I just put a little of the essential oils in, so it's really just a light fragrance- hopefully not overkill. Anyhow, yum. I just wanted to share.
We made an offer on our 39 acres yesterday... we should hear back within the next 5 days. I will let you all know what happens!
I don't remember if I put this picture up before. I don't think I did. It's from a month or so ago, but it's just too cute to not share. :)

How is the patchouli orange combination? Sounds yummy! Aimee
Have you ever made candles? I'm thinking we need to experiment with that next!
Aimee-- I really like it!
Jessy-- no i haven't-- but I agree that we should try!
Hey Kristin -
Ever hear of a Tummy Tub? I saw it on the news this morning. It's a clear, vertical bathtub for babies that mimics the womb. It also is great, they say, for colicky babies. They had about 1/2a dozen babies in these on the news this morning, and they were having a ball....they even had twins in one Tummy Tub. Here's the link if you want to see the tubs...I'm assuming we can order them in the U.S.....they are made in England.
