Happy Thanksgiving Friends! Today I celebrated with family. It was a beautiful time. We are so blessed! After a beautiful Thanksgiving with my family, I went into work! I didn't eat much (surprisingly) so I had some great thanksgiving left overs! I love thanksgiving food! What is your favorite dish? I love cheesy potatoes, mac and cheese, and stuffing! I hate green bean casserole (hilariously it's what I was asked to make this year). We ended our beautiful Thanksgiving with this great story!! Daddy read it to the boys! It was one read to me as a child. We made our Turkey family this year and decorated the windows with it! I had a lot to be thankful for this year! I found myself really appreciating the hard stuff. The way the difficult things in life has molded us into better people. I am so thankful for the growth I've experienced. Granted I wish they didn't have to come through hard times but I'm thankful that we were able to learn something through them. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving full of tradition, love, family and best friends!!
Love, Jar of Bees!

You'll have to forgive me I'm blogging from my phone today, also as it's not a fancy galaxy or I something contraption, it's not easy. Sometimes though you have to write when you're thinking about it. Lately, we've all had colds. Now the demon virus has spread to J, who's 16 months. So, not wanting to pump my son full of cold medicine, I look for natural options. The demon virus causes misery and fuzziness in my already testy toddler. That culminates to a cranky child that would have a good shot in an exorcist film and could out cry a teen girl watching Edward Cullen die. Also, since my Husband is a calm as they come, I get the karma smack if knowing he undoubtedly gets this from me. So, the only way to exorcise the evil is to treat the illness. While testy J is also a generally happy child, we prefer him that way. Moms love to talk and everybody has their own family remedies. Here's ours:Garlic: immune booster and natural anti biotic. Orange (and juice): vitamin C and it tastes good. Mint oils in a warm bath: opens up sinus Chicken Noodle: because its good for the soul and Grandma said so. Hydrogen peroxide and Apple Cider Vinegar bath: I swear this helped rid of my last sinus infection. However I think the hot water just helps loosen that in general. Apple Cider Vinegar: the duct tape of the cure all world. Those are mine, do you have any home remedies you'd like to share? Check back later for the best of crazy remedy poll!

I thought for a while that I wouldn't post deeply personal things here. However motherhood and life have pushed me to grow, because I put a part of myself here: I can't avoid the personal. "You are then trapped with your poisonous hate."I never valued peace before. I considered it trite. The wounding of pain creates bitterness that masks as strength. The walls you put up to isolate yourself become a prison. You are then trapped with your poisonous hate. That is the opposite of strength. The road to peace is difficult and long. It goes hand in hand with the road of love. You can't have one without the other. These particular path's are harder, because you have to let go of what hurts you while giving those people the right to. Love is the action and peace is the state of being. "I could verbally murder someone." This doesn't just happen one day. You have to work at it all the time and fail at it too. You have to say sorry for the offenses you hold no matter how righteous they are. It's insane. No, I'm serious. I'll explain: When I'm angry, when someone has wronged me, my immediate reaction is to get pissed off. I could verbally murder someone. There are many times I'd like too and if not to their face to someone else. If I'm going to act with maturity, with the peace and love I so desire- I don't get to do that. We live in the world of "tweets" and "statuses"- we can indirectly or directly bitch at whoever we want. We can "call them out". It's acceptable. If I choose to practice what I preach, I can't do that. If this comes off preachy- |
