    5 Scrumptious Squash Recipes

    July 27, 2015 - By 

    I am a summer girl through and through. July is the month of my birthday and I am a true July baby. I could live on the beach somewhere sunny and eat Barbecue and enjoy fresh fruits and the occasional sip of wine and be happy for the rest of my life. Fall, interrupts my happiness and doesn’t have a tonne of redeeming factors about it. But there are some great foods that I enjoy that only come around in the Autumn months.

The Muse headband helps me to conquer all of those things. The Muse Headband Helps Make Serenity a Reality Well it makes serenity reality at least while you’re meditating. With the Muse headband, you have an ally in leaving behind the stress and worry of the world – at least for a while. The Muse headband uses EEG (electroencephalogram)…

    Lakota All Natural Pain Relief To The Rescue

    July 24, 2015 - By 

    Let’s travel back in time together for a few minutes. I can scarcely recall a time that I did not have pain. As a little person I had joint pain often and that was always chalked up to growing pains. My mother and I tried so many different things. Eventually when I was 14 that pain became acute and it was in my stomach and my joints. I felt horrible. Crohn’s Disease, an autoimmune disorder of the digestive tract, was the verdict. I still struggle with pain on a weekly basis. But I have managed to develop a lot of tools…

    My Savoury Low Sodium Sour Cream Nacho Dip #GayLeaMom #Giveaway

    July 24, 2015 - By 

    In the summer months when the weather is hot and the days are gorgeous but limited, it’s important not to spend hours on end slaving at the stove. I love easy barbecue ideas every summer weekend, and if we are entertaining or having a pool party or even just having a lovely weekend together, I like fast tasty snacks like this savoury sour cream nacho dip. This dip would also go great with vegetables. I confess my husband and I have this dip that’s made a nearby grocery store that is our brutal weakness. It is heavenly. So I considered…

    July 21, 2015 - By 

      My girls kick butt. Well, I think they kick butt. Our girls have been taking martial arts for many years now. The daughter on the right hand side started when she was four years old. If you visit this blog often then you know that she has special needs. As a little person, she also had a hip that did not function well. An orthopaedic surgeon at one point indicated to me that she needed extra help with gross motor movements. After she was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, a brain injury sustained from prenatal…
