Giveaway Post #2---along with the Series Growing Your Own Medicine

   Well, I guess we will see how many entrants we have by Saturday evening when this whole shebang closes, but yesterday's post only brought 12 entries for both Facebook and here on the blog! Those are some really good odds for some of you! However, I'd like to see more participation from a larger amount of our reader base, SOOOOOO....................

   So let's ramp it up a bit, shall we?

    It has been a tough day for me with my fibromyalgia flare up, where my body wants to just be resting but my schedule was full with lessons for four full hours this afternoon. It ended up well though, with a little rest, two cuddly toddlers, a treat from my mom for the girls, a babysitter my kids LOVE here for the entire time I taught, and best of all, seeing a  child go from feeling they fail at everything to determined they would succeed at something. :0)

   It has been an interesting week around here, how about where you are?

   This week I have learned two new guitar chords after years of trying and failing to play that instrument.

   I have had my second series wrap up in spectacular style with many people really digging in and really enjoying what they are learning.

   I have had some really precious moments with my kids this week, including hearing my just-turned-two year olds finally start to talk (their little voices are so precious!) (so far my favorite word to hear them say is chainsaw---sounds goofy, but we heat with wood, and they freak out, shrieking the word when they hear Dad using it)

   I managed to keep the home fires burning while keeping up with keeping on, and bless my family....while remembering that these crazy days wont last and I am blessed to be home.

   And finally, I think I have my front yard herb garden planned out perfectly, thanks to this series putting everything in the same place for my references, not in a bunch of notebooks. I am reminded which herbs I wanted to try new this year, which ones were indispensible, and which ones I think I am just going to stock up from someplace reputable. :) I had nine more herbs I wanted to share with you, plus a couple other tips, but I think this is perhaps best, and I will just include everything into the E-book I am working on that is supposed to come out this summer, for those of you who are interested. :)

   I hope you have fun sharing and passing your comments on! I am blessed to know you and be able to share with you!

This contest is now closed. Thanks for your participation!

 

Many Blessings to you and yours,

Heather
