The Treat of the Trade

    Soothing Shower bars. Easy Peasy! We made Lavender and Eucalyptus   1 cup of baking soda and generous drops of oil is all you need. You can get any sent of essential oils at your local drug store. We used silicon cupcake pans. Mix the baking soda with water until you have formed a paste. We added about 2 1/2 oz of water in the beginning and found you might need more or less. You do not want the mixture to be very runny. Add to cupcake pan. Fill halfway. Add your drops of oil and then fill to the top with mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. When they have cooled add a few more drops of oil. Store in a air tight container or Zip-loc bag. The wine sipping is completely optional when making the shower bars. HAPPY FRIDAY!

  We ventured 2 1/2 hours away and went to an indoor water park. Where its nice and warm all year long! The kids were surprised when I told them how we were going to kick off Spring Break. My sister joined in on the road trip, and we all had a blast.   He loves water. He has a new love for water slides and has no fear! And I am happy about that!   Enjoying some time at the wave pool. Kinda looks like he is at a beach some where. But a beach around here is 16+ hours away!   Shes always posing like a Diva! So glad that all the kids love to swim.   More sliding! This was right after the bucket dumped water. She was glad they missed it! HAPPY SUNDAY! We are back to routines and reality tomorrow!

  Jill had a birthday party and the theme was amazing! Shes into the ever growing popular mustache craze, so I had a lot of fun getting this ready! Her invites were mustaches and the left overs were streamers ;)     The cake!   Goofy dad!   Friends and family!!   Pizza and friends! You can never go wrong with that combo!  She loves gifts!   Her older (half) sister from Oklahoma surprised her by coming into town and celebrating with her. More friends and family. Jill's birthday is actually March 9, but we had to celebrate a weekend early due to visits with her mom in OK. But I can guarantee that this is one party she will never forget!!
