Numen: The Nature of Plants – A MUST HAVE DVD!
There is a new DVD on herbs and medicine that from the looks of the 15 minute demo, is a t-total must have! Dare I say, A Dr. Flower’s Essential! Numen: The Nature of Plants. What is it? Numen as defined in the 15 min demo, is the animated force in ALL things living. Here are a few other facts I picked up: The 4th leading cause of death in our country is the APPROPRIATE use of medications. (Does that astonish you? It sort of takes me a back…) Cancer, heart disease…yep, we are almost intimate with them but appropriate use of medications?? Omega-3 oils (in chloroplast) is the fundamental oil of…

Tis the season…that poison ivy blooms!
As summer winds down and the kids go back to school, there are changes also happening in the backyard. The fall blooming plants are beginning to do their thing. Some of this is good….some of this is bad! Perhaps not as bad if you know how to identify it. In the past, I’ve blogged about how to identify poison ivy in your yard.

What's been going on at ASM (Alabama Soap Meeting)
Hey there! A bunch and I mean a bigger bunch than last year of soap making friends are gathered in a little town outside Montgomery called Prattville. (You can find out more here.)

A little Melt and Pour Soap Activity
With some of the tools that we acquired at the Georgia Spring Fling Soap And Candle Gathering, we have been doing a little bit of experimenting with Melt and Pour soap. We scented these with peach fragrance. 😉 Little one’s favorite part was painting the gold on top. See what you think! Orders this first week of June MIGHT include a random sample soap! Happy Washing! ~Regina

The Last Day of School
The last day of school is a significant milestone this year at our house. Our little “june bug” is about to be an upcoming 1st grader. A comment made to her just yesterday was that she will only have 12 more of those glorious last days in her school career. Her reaction was funny. ” I have 12 more days of school left?” Of course she doesn’t realize that she has 12 more grades to go through… It’s an interesting way to look at the last day of school. This summer there will be trips to the swimming pool, family trips, much playing in the yard with new and…
