I'm very excited to announce that I am officially an Independent
Consultant for Scentsy. If you haven't heard of it, it is THE
wickless candle. You simply purchase a warmer of your choice (which
comes in 3 different sizes), and a Scentsy bar with contains 8 scented
wax chunks. To use your warmer, just plug it in and the low watt
lightbulb slowly melts the wax placed on top. A half up to 2 chunks is
all you need to fill your house with one of 80+ scents to choose from.
I love it! In addition to warmers, there is also Buddys, which you
place a scented pack in the back to help freshen up your children's
room as well! The Layers is a new addition to Scentsy with includes
lotion, perfume, body butters, washer wiffs, and dryer disks. For

Lice.
Just the thought of the little pests crawling around in my kids' hair
is enough to make me cringe. Thankfully my kids have not had it, but
I'm still constantly checking their hair, especially my daughter's
long hair, as I am fixing it every morning. There has not even been
an infestation at our kids school, which is great, but I have heard
the horror stories!
My friend's daughter had an infestation in her long, thick hair. It
spread from that little girl's hair to her bother's, her mother's, and
every one that can in contact with her. Treatment after treatment,
and those nasty pests wouldn't go away! Months went by before they FINALLY got rid of the lice. I was scared to let my daughter go over there and play, even though it was really no one's fault.
I have been trying to keep my daughter's hair in a braid or ponytail,
to avoid potential urge to borrow someone's brush...not that brushing her hair is her favorite thing, at least not yet.
Have you ever had a lice infestation? If you have, what is the best way to get rid of them and keep them away?

The Internet is full of parenting websites and forums with advice, but your own childhood has the most influence on your own parenting skills. The good, the bad, and the ugly of how the people you looked up to gives you guidelines of what to do or not do. I personally strive to be a great parent and set a great role model for our kids when they become parents one day.
Up until I reached high school, I thought my mother walked on water. I just knew that we would always be close...but I was wrong. The fights, battles, negativity, put-downs...put a damper on our relationship. We have an okay relationship now, but it could be better! No matter how old I am, I will always remember things from the hateful words said, never showing up to my softball practices or girl scout meetings, pushing me away...and worst of all, not saying that she loves me nearly enough. She apologizes for the past, and tries to make up for it now..but I don't want to be like that with my kids. Regretting how I raised my kids, when I can do what is right, right now.
My husband and I are a mastering being there for our kids whenever we are able. One or both of us (usually both) go to every practice, game, girl scout meeting, parent-teacher conference, parent volunteer days, etc. Our kids remember and love the fact that we are always there. They appreciate the time we spend with them, the games we play, places we go, and affection we give them.
One day today will only be a memory in their minds to be remembered.
