Make A Move Monday: In the Spirit of Honesty

Blogging is so permanent.  I can think something, write it and send it out into the abyss of cyberspace…forever.  My thoughts and feelings are not so permanent.  Sometimes I change my mind, and I feel that an update is in order on a few posts!

Apple Cider Vinegar-I still love the stuff and think it is amazingly effective.  I would drink it every day…if I could.  I have low blood pressure and after a few months on ACV I was really struggling with vertigo.  I stopped taking ACV and the vertigo went away.  I went back on it and vertigo was back.  My skin and allergies love apple cider vinegar.  I am working on the balance, lower dosages, every other day, a week on a week off?  I am not sure what is going to work, but I am going to keep trying to find out how much is good for my body!

Summer School SummerFun-While we did well with our reading goals this summer, we did not follow our science and math plans.  One day in the beginning of July my son said to me, “I am tired of playing math games.  Can I just do worksheets instead?”  Something tells me that this is not typical, but I will take it.  His reaction to our summer of plant experiments was less than enthusiastic.  “I was really hoping we would just do experiments where we made things explode.”  While we didn’t do the plant experiments I had planned we did grow a garden, and my older three children assisted in weeding and watering.  They helped dig potatoes which to their surprise grew underground, and the older two helped freeze corn.  They helped pick it, husk it and wash it.  Grandpa cut it; I cooked it.   Then they labeled it for the freezer and a year of eating freezer corn.  Even without our experiments they learned how plants grow and where their food comes from.

Deodorant-I am having deodorant woes.  First, when I added the beeswax to my recipe it did stay solid in the heat, but it also left residue on my shirts.  Then I started dealing with an unexplained skin irritation on my arms, and I didn’t know what that was from but ended up switching back to store bought deodorant.  My skin appears to have cleared up now so I plan on trying rubbing alcohol as a spray deodorant to see if I can get this thing figured out!

I feel much better now that the truth is out there.  It is always good to come clean!
