Ok, Brooklynn has had a earache for about 4-5 days, in fact she got it the day after we went swimming. So i just thought it was swimmers ear and that it would go away, wrong! Finally last night she started screaming that she was going to die her ear hurt so bad, so to the internet i went. I ended up making a ear drop of 1 drop peppermint essential oil (if put it in my laundry to smell good so had some lying around) and 20 drops olive oil. Then i put 4 drops in her ear and put a warm water bottle on her ear, instant relief! She slept until 8 the next morning. We put some more in this morning and she has not complained once that her ear hurt. Thank Goodness for small miracles

Well here is Randon, he has been asking to play t-ball for a year and so i finally remembered to sign him up. However he is also playing soccer and so our weeks are filled with soccer and t-ball, luckily the girls didn't want to play soccer this spring and dance is out for the summer. Anyway he is loving having sports to play 3 times a week he is truly a sports boy.

Ok, I came across this recipe this morning and looks oh so good, I will let you know when i try it or if one of you gets to it first let me know!
