Health Naturally

Yes I am going to venture into this subject. We are a family with five children. The youngest has Down Syndrome and with Down Syndrome, she can have a compromised immune system. The first year of her life I breast fed and so she was quite healthy. From age one to two, all hell broke loose. She had a constant cold from August until April. She would get over a cold to then get a flu, then a cold again. A stomach flu and a cold again. Then it happened. Pneumonia. She got sick at 1:00 a.m. and the next morning something wasn't right. I called our Pediatrician who gave her a chest X-ray and yes she was put on her fourth antibiotic. I was beaten. I was destroyed. Other moms of Down Syndrome said "Oh yea this is all our lives with Downs children". What??????? Nope I was NOT going to be on this cycle. I was getting off this ride.

I discovered through the help of my cousin Brenda, essential oils. All began when she told me about Oregano Oil. Oil of oregano, which is distiller from the flowers and leaves of the oregano plant, could be one of nature's most powerful antibiotics. I started my adventure of discovering a company called Young Living Here. This company sells the purest of oils. I read about how if you put ONE DROP of oil on the bottom of one of her feet, it is soaked into her system like a sponge. Our feet are porous. They absorb. If you ever heard of kids having a terrible cough and moms putting Vicks on bottoms of the feet and socks, then the child has a restful nights sleep without coughing!

So then I started getting different oils and either putting them in the air by diffusing or by putting a drop on a foot or on one of the kids hand. Illness in this house stopped!!! Kate had a three day cold since August and it was barely anything. Praise God through whom all Blessing Flow!

Cookie Cutter Parenting

When I first became a parent I was looking to be exactly like other Catholic parents, whatever that was. I immunized Beau and Maria. I put them in pre-school because they would never get into Harvard if I didn't. I bought the "Happy Meals" because that was what all the other moms did. I dressed them like all the other kids. We celebrated Santa and then God. Why oh why was I so unhappy? I had everything I wanted, so I thought. One day I turned and saw a disaster following me. A Catholic School run by feminists of the worst kind. Caring more about academics and fundraising than the souls of these little people. We were raising them to put God on the back burner. God knew exactly what to do. I became pregnant with Ireland. I had secondary infertility. I was very busy when I became pregnant. I was working part-time for the Catholic Pre-School, working part-time as a Waitress at a place that had Country Music Shows. I was also helping my brother start

Good Morning Americans

This morning I turned on GMA. GMA standing for Good Morning America! Really? The news they put out is anything but good. Today the ticker at the bottom of the screen read that milk was going up $.60. Here . BUT this is what was supposed to happen. Here. Coffee prices are going up. Here. The best is fuel! Gas prices escalate. Here. Let's talk about jobs... Here is what the government says. Here. The reality is " In a phone call, Harvard Business School Entrepreneurship and Strategy Professor Joe Fuller called the numbers “more of the same.” While he felt the headline jobs number was “a disappointment even in the context of a decaying picture for jobs growth,” Fuller warns that”trying to read a lot into month to month data is a fools errand. There is, however, something in these numbers that’s unsettling. Even though we talk about the period from July to November being good relative to the recent past, it still wasn’t the type of job growth numbers we

Don't Judge a Special Needs Family

Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever tried to do the right thing and have a whole bunch of wicked come hurling at you? What did you do? Did you start to endlessly explain your motives so it could be twisted by the few people that dislike you? Or did you stay silent? Staying silent is not my strong point, thus the blog.;) When I became pregnant with Looly (Kate), I noticed some big changes within myself. I had to fight to keep her alive because of a difficult pregnancy. Then at the end of my pregnancy I had to fight to keep us both alive. Then we were told Looly had Down Syndrome. At that time, we were grateful to God that she was alive and later we were thanking God that her heart was healthy and there was no neurological damage. She just has Down Syndrome. Just Down Syndrome. Say those words...just Down Syndrome. That is what I do, I simplify difficult things, then reflect and think I'm crazy. I was connected to this child at conception. I begged God to let me car
