Oil Pulling

I guess I need to try this a little bit longer to see some results.  It does feel like it is taking everything out of my mouth but the freshness is kinda oily so I will keep doing it to see if maybe it is a 30 day kinda thing to see a difference.


Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

I am in love with pumpkin.  The smell the taste and everything.  I did just the ingredients that the recipe requested but I found that the taste didn't work for me.  So I had to doctor it up to make it work.  Overall it was a neat idea because I wasn't ready to bake a pie.


Are you trying anything new?

DIY

Pinterest has always been my good friend because it supplies me with so many wonderful DIY (do it yourself) ideas.  I had taken a vacation from the website because I was doing way to much.  It was getting in the way of life.  This past weekend I got back into it and all the love for it came right back.  There were even more great ideas, pics and such for me to PIN.

Some really great styles, recipes for drinks/meals and DIY gift ideas were mostly what I decided to PIN.  I am going a step further though.  As I work on making a better me and getting into things I enjoy I will be actually making some of the pins.  I already went further and checked out the recipes and such.  I am so super excited to see how it looks and taste.

Let me share just some of the great things I will be trying out.

Anyway I will report back with the results.  I have the items for mostly everything but the Sangria.

Until next time. Live, Love, and Be Merry.

Language Learning for Children

It has been expressed by most educators that it is best to start teaching your children a different language at a young age because they will grasp it and evolve as they grow.

Thanks to Influenster I have come across a really incredible system for children to not only learn but dance with.  It is known that music is a wonderful technique in learning.

Dino Lingo is the company that produces different language videos for children.  The videos teach how to speak greetings, animals and much more.  If you want to get a quick glimpse of if this is something you want to share with your child visit Dino Lingo on YouTube for just a few clips from the DVD sets.

This might be a wonderful way for you to introduce Japanese, Spanish, and French to your child.

Here is a link just in case: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlBlltNtETtTjhsO8ERGRcYz5uj8IaLaJ
