This article is supposed to be about beating bronchitis with herbs.  But really, if you break down the symptoms you are having, you might find helpful information here.  For example, if you are congested (and bronchitis isn't the only icky germ that makes congestion), you can take Ivy Leaf.  I know that when I get sick (or when the boys do), antibiotics are the last resort for our h...

Dear Head Cold, I am not sure who invited you into our happy little house (much less into my head), but I'd like to be a rude host and tell you to GO AWAY.  I do not enjoy having you visit.  I feel like my head is full of hot lava and that's not a feeling I'm enjoying.  Alternately, you make me feel like my head is full of concrete, and that's just not a terrific feeling either.&nbs...

Apparently what I needed to get back on the blogging horse was a break from the blog.  I only wrote a few times last week, and I've written nothing in the last 4 days.  Perhaps you've noticed, although probably not.  Over the weekend I started seeing funny things happening again.  I was not constantly trying to avoid being annoyed.  Dalton did stuff and it made me laugh.&n...

Tip Junkie asked her readers why we blog.  I have two reasons I blog.  One is important, but not the main reason.  The other is the more important of the two (at least for my personal sanity).  Reason #1 that I blog is to make Money.  The entries I write where I give you suggestions of other blogs to read, I get paid for those. It's not much, but it's helping with our...

I like to have multiple sauces when I eat chicken nuggets.  My favorite is McDonald's spicy mustard.  I like to eat that one paired with honey. Dalton gets this from me...although I do not mix my sauces like he does.I love being a mom to 2 boys.  I love Diet Coke.  I know it's bad for me, I know people say it tastes horrid, but I like it. I also love water. It is my second...

I know my readership isn't close to these ladies. I have found some pretty cool blogs to read lately. I am not sure why I'm drawn to each one, but I am clearly drawn.  I love knowing how other people live, to see if there's a possibility to better my life.  The next couple days I will introduce you to some of the people I read weekly.  Up first is Katie.Meet Katie.  She is...

Fridays are my day at work to clean my office.  I have a lot of counter space that gets cluttered during the week.  I get done with Toddler Time or Story Time and just drop what I have in my arms.  This is normally because I'm either rushing someplace else or helping at the circulation desk.  Today I cleaned most of my office.  I straightened up right around my desk a...

I don't talk about my stepdaughter much on here.  She is Larry's adopted daughter, and a big part of our lives.  She's 15 and a professional cowgirl.  Yes, I said professional.  She runs with the big girls who are 2 and 3 times older than her.  She's awesome.  Because of J we have been to a number of horse shows, although not nearly enough really.  She runs barre...

For Science Club today (at my library) we are talking about Animal Camouflage.  I am lucky enough to receive excellent information from PBS about their shows.  Ruff Ruffman is a dog on PBS who teaches the kids by leading them through experiments.  Today's program came from a book published by PBS on Science.  Picture from hereDid you know that when a pack of zebras run together...
