Monday morning adventure, scientific experiments and I still dont know whats for dinner



We have a 6 month old beagle and he is so much fun and so much trouble its not even funny. He has gotten tall enough to look in on the girls, the chickens, when I feed or look for eggs. In fact every time we open the garage door he runs back to the inside part of their coop in hopes I am opening the door. The girls are so use to him saying hi that they do not run away. Its actually pretty cute. Since Balders favorite activity is playing ball hes really been excited watching me get the "balls" out of the coop. He just doesnt understand why I wont let him have my eggs.

This morning I am driving to a town that I have never driven to before by myself. I will have my kiddos with me and they are much better at directions than I am so I should be fine. Just in case you do not hear from me again you will know I got lost and just settled down in whatever city I ended up in. Do not worry I get lost all the time. I always manage to make it home.

I know that this is going to come as a shock to you but people lie on the internet. I hope you were sitting down when I said that. I am as surprised as you. Who knew? In searching for a good night time magnesium oil recipe I encountered lots of websites with the same exact recipes. Like people were copying and pasting things from other websites pretending they were the original ones doing something. They even had the same pictures. One of my favorite bloggers was talking about something doing that with one of her posts a few weeks ago. Its not that they share your ideas its taking credit for them I think that most people find annoying. My problem is they dont even try the recipe to see if it really works!

I promise you  I will not post anything I have not tried myself. I will tell you if its a fail and if that fail is human error or recipe error. I am not ashamed to say that I mess up. I mess up a lot and thats okay.

I really dont know why this comes a shock for me. Back when the internet was pretty new my sister and I decided to make everyone pretty candles for Christmas. You melted your wax and put potpourri in the candles. Ours looked just like the ones online. We were so excited. Then we decided to light one and they potpourri caught on fire. We threw them out, Who wants to responsible for burning down the house of your loved ones?

Last night I made the magnesium lotion I talked about yesterday. Mine did not whip up at all. It does have the consistency of lotion though and with the lavender I used its smells quite delightful. Its a little grainy from the magnesium I used but we are putting it on our feet not our face.



 I do not really have trouble sleeping. So I am not sure if I am a good spokesperson for the lotion. My family did let me put it on their feet. Thats right no one wanted to touch it themselves so at bed time I went from person to person and lotioning their feet. The things we do for those we love. So far though we all had a good nights sleep. The only thing I see as a possible problem from using the lotion is the oil stain on my sheets. I guess socks would remedy that problem as well. I will let you know if the stain washes out. I dont wont to be known as the woman who ruined everyones bed linens either! I will keep you posted.



As for dinner, I was meal planning before bed and was on Pinterest. I do not have a meal planned for tonight but I do have a cute yard flag made from burlap I really want to make. I put some hamburger from the freezer to the fridge so I guess I am halfway there. Enjoy your Monday.

Lots of Love
