I have never heard of Pompeian Grapeseed Oil until it came in the mail. As I research it, I found it is a great source of Vitamin E and antioxidants. It has a high smoke point so, it is terrific for sautéing, stir frying, and deep frying.
With the Pompeian Grapeseed Oil I received I made Smokey Fried Chickpeas. They were fantastic! I would have posted a picture, except my husband ate them before I had a chance! They were that good.
Here’s a coupon so, you can try Pompeian Grapeseed Oil too!

How can your smile help?
We all love a child’s smile. There’s baby’s first smile, the wake-up smile and the first step “I did it!” smile. But, there’s something special about the smile that comes after a fever breaks and a child starts feeling better.
Creating those “feel better” smiles is what Tylenol is all about.
For decades, moms and pediatricians have relied on Tylenol to provide relief from fever and pain. The smile of good health is one every child deserves and every mom should see.

Our farm is going to grow yet again! I’m kind of nervous thinking about it but excited at the same time. When we bought the wool dryer balls from the sheep farmer we also put down a deposit on a breeding pair of sheep for our oldest son! We will get these lambs in the spring so there’s lots of time. It’s just fencing, shelter etc. We do not want to put much money into permanent infrastructure like stalls in the barn because we cannot take it with us. We will probably do temporary housing outside. I know the sheep farm uses calf huts, but I think those can be pricey so we’ll do something like our little hoop house over our raised bed.
The sheep in the photo above are from the sheep farm but owned by our neighbor. When I went there with my friend to look at their Dutch Belted cow, I snapped a photo of the Babydoll sheep. Our neighbor knows the sheep farmers, which is what prompted me to get in touch with them, remembering I had their business card from the Green Expo. I had inquired earlier in the year but never got around to calling them back because we were not at a place of being ready for more animals with all our delays in fencing and waiting for pasture to grow. But our son has been asking so we took the leap of faith and put a deposit down knowing we have to plan ahead for things like this, especially if we want unrelated lambs to breed. Thankfully, we do not have to worry about shearing wool until spring of 2015 and the ewe won’t be bred until she is a year or two old.
Our son’s sheep will be registered Babydoll sheep. He has his names picked out already – Atlas for the ram and Juno for the ewe. It’s always interesting to see what names they come up with. I questioned him gently making sure those were names he wanted before I sent them to the breeder. I just wanted him to be sure. I also asked him if he was going to be able to sell his lambs. He said yes, but we’ll see.
Babydoll sheep are a recovering sheep breed on the Livestock Conservancy priority list. We chose them because they are smaller, plus they are cute!
Just wanted to let you know that the Babo Botanicals Special Holiday Promotion will not be effective until December 10, so look for the 50% promo code on Tuesday. There was a blip in communication regarding the start date of the promotion.
My apologies for any confusion.
Kmart and Sears Free In Store Pick Up Program
Are you getting busier now that Christmas is upon us? The holidays seem to be the busiest time of the year. Between buying live tree (which we hope to do this weekend) decorating, baking, shopping, untangling lights, hosting Christmas parties (not that we do this) wrapping (or unwrapping), regular life doesn’t seem to stop amidst it all. You can only read so many articles on ‘holiday how-tos’ before you realize that unlike the miracle of the Christ child or Santa squeezing down chimneys, there is no Christmas miracle for making the holidays less hectic. The holiday season is what it is. You can, however, find ways to reduce stress and frown less. One way is to consider using free in store pickup and earning more points while shopping. Both Sears and Kmart offer $10 back in points when you spend $59 and free in store pickup, letting you earn more points while shopping thousands of gifts online in the comfort of your own home before picking up your items in store in 5 minutes guaranteed (or whenever you’re ready). With in store pickup you will avoid lines, crowded stores and the wasted time of searching for just the right gift. To bring an extra smile to your face, if you cannot pick up your order, a friend or relative can and pay in store with cash. Holiday shopping at Sears and Kmart will earn you more points so why not try the free in store pickup at Sears or Kmart? Then think about what will you do with the time you freed up and your extra points? Maybe you will spend time volunteering for the Salvation Army ringing the “Santa bell”, volunteer at a women’s shelter, make Christmas ornaments with your children or simply putting your feet up and enjoying your lighted Christmas tree in a dark room.

Now this holiday event does have a time limit on it: The ONLINE portion of the event is from Saturday 12/7/13 starting at 6PM CT through to Tuesday 12/10/13 at 9AM CT. IN-STORE event is on Sunday, 12/8/13 ONLY, which is tomorrow!

I think I did better writing down funny things as they happened this week so it is officially time to laugh with the Goulds again! We have joined The Mommyhood Chronicles for Week #7 – for us – in the Saturday Top Five Laughs of the week.
5. We were talking about the Prince and Duchess of Wales and our Amelia Bedilia said, “They live in whales?” I believe she knew what we meant but was trying to be funny because she repeated it to her brother next to her and then they high-fived.
4. Love the honest laughs of my children. Nothing makes us smile more than to hear their genuine laugh.
3. The kittens were their playful selves again. Our three year old son was told to clean the crayon off the patio door and while he was wiping, Freckles was trying to grab Jr.’s cloth!
2. We had one of our sons get sick yesterday, which made our older son paranoid about getting sick. My son applied DiGize essential oil to help ward off a tummy ache. My husband pulled a fast one on him by asking him which way he applied the DiGize clockwise or counter clockwise. My son replied, “Counter clockwise.” My husband proceeded to tell him if he circled counter clockwise everything would come up, but if he had of applied it clockwise everything would stay down. My son goes, “Arghhhh!” And my husband comes in our bedroom laughing that he couldn’t believe he fooled our son. I chuckled and told him to go tell him the difference before he thought he’d be sick!
1. Last night while I was working on my laptop our children were all watching the movie “The Croods” next to me. I loved hearing them all burst out laughing. I was listening to their laughter more than the movie so now I have to watch it for myself! Gotta love the sound of children laughing! This is kind of a repetition of #4, oh well! I was doubly blessed this week to think of it twice!

I LOVE my coffee…just my Java and me! Furthermore, with the invention of single cup brewers I love being able to brew my coffee by the cup and not having to drink a whole pot! I was never a “whole” pot kind of girl and love that I do not waste coffee anymore. So… what kind of coffee do I drink in my brewer? Lately, it has been Caza Trail’s single serve Donut Blend and it is DELICIOUS!
Although I am enamored by the Donut blend there are other varieties I have yet to try… there are 25 varieties by Caza trail! You can see all the varieties here on their Amazon page.
If you are looking for a GREAT tasting single serve coffee then make sure to try CAZA trail!
