Happy Mother's Day

M... is for the million things she gave me,
O... means only that she's growing old,
T... is for the tears she shed to save me,

H.. . is for her heart of purest gold;

E...is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
R...means right, and right she'll always be.

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"A word that means the world to me. --

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

Take the Tissue Test!

Want spectacular skin? It's easier than you think! You can improve your skin's appearance at any age simply by identifying your skin type and choosing your skin care and makeup products accordingly. If you're not sure what type of skin you have, or haven't assessed your skin in a while, take this simple tissue test to see where you stand.
First, wash your skin with your normal cleanser, but don't apply any toner or moisturizer. Wait 10 minutes, then take four squares of white tissue and use one each to blot your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. If none of the tissues are left with oil on them, you have dry skin. If there is a small amount of oil on all of them, you have normal skin. If there is more oil on the tissues from your nose, forehead, and chin than the one used on your cheeks, you have combination skin. If there is excess oil on all the tissues, you have oily skin.
Now examine the skin care and makeup products you're currently using. Do they match up with your skin type? If not, it's time to go shopping! You'll be amazed how much better your skin will look and feel when you treat it according to its type!

Are you a croaker or a leaper?

Along with the new items I am frequently adding from my store,every so often I run across quotes and readings like this one that help me keep tune with reality. Like my mother used to say "count your blessings", and that is what I am trying to do!
Enjoy!


We don't often think about the effect that our words have upon others. Our words do have power and everything that we say has a positive or negative impact on others around us.
There is an old story that is told about an army* of frogs that went leaping through the forest one day when two of the frogs suddenly fell into a deep pit. All of the other frogs gathered around the hole to look down on their two fallen comrades. They all began to sadly shake their heads and to croak out dismal warnings. "It's too deep!" croaked one frog. Another croaked that there was no way that they would ever be able to get out of that pit alive.
The two fallen frogs began to continuously jump as they tried to get out of the pit, but the frogs that were watching kept croaking louder at them that they might as well stop because they were as good as dead and just wasting their time. One of the two frogs finally gave up and heeded the pessimistic advice of the frogs at the top. He quit jumping and literally "croaked" and died.
The other frog just kept right on jumping and leaping harder than ever in spite of all the loud croaks of disapproval from the frogs that were watching around the top of the hole. They kept croaking shouts at him to quit jumping and save himself from all the pain and suffering he was incurring as he leaped and fell back down to the bottom of the pit over and over again.
Finally, he leaped even harder than ever and to the surprise of all the other frogs he jumped right out of the deep pit. The other frogs asked him, "Why did you keep leaping even though we yelled and croaked at you to stop?" It was then that the frog explained to them that he was deaf and he had thought they were cheering for him and yelling words of encouragement to him the entire time!
A little encouragement can go a long way and as Babe Ruth once said, "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."
Our words do have the power to hurt or to heal. What kind of frog are you? Are you a croaker or a leaper?

A few tips for all of us Moms..Good luck!
