Happy Spring- Mother's Day 2020

Yesterday morning we woke up to a dusting of new snow, May 8! New snow in May is beyond crazy. We have enjoyed a few warm spring days, so all hope of warm weather is not lost. I received a new camera for my birthday and I finally took it out of the package and started learning how to use it.

This is a sure sign of spring in the Upper Pennisula of Michigan, the first spring visit by a Robin. Even if there is still a few snowbanks in the yard. 


Most of the winter the chickens stayed inside the coop, so seeing them free-ranging the yard is also a sign of warmer weather. Also, we are thrilled to start getting eggs from our girls again. We have gotten spoiled by having fresh eggs. 


My Grandmother has lived with us for the past two years, and she loves watching birds. I purchased this bird feeder.
I look forward to taking more photos as birds migrate north. So far we have seen a Blue Jay, Startlings, and Chickadees. 

I cannot believe tomorrow is Mother's Day.  I am blessed to spend the day with my mom and grandma at my house. They are two of the strongest people I know. My heart will ache with the loss of my Mother In Law earlier this year. She also was a blessing in my life, a wonderful role model for loving people for who they are not who you want them to be. 


This is a fun photo of my mom (R) and my Gram (L) and my youngest son two summers ago. If you look closely it looks like Noah is holding Big Boy's burger. My sister came to visit today. My awesome husband made a French Toast breakfast for everyone since he will be at work early on Mother's Day. 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and women today. How are you celebrating this weekend?

Konsyl review and Giveaway

Image
We’ve all heard about the digestive and other health benefits of having enough fiber, but in addition to helping promote regularity and good digestive health  adequate soluble fiber intake offers an abundance of health benefits, ranging from a reduced risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, to reducing blood sugar absorption, thereby assisting in the management of Type-2 Diabetes. Fiber can also aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer. Psyllium fiber, such as the fiber found in Konsyl Fiber Supplements, is a bulk-forming soluble fiber derived from the outer coating, or "husk" of the psyllium plant's seeds. Because psyllium does not come from wheat it is therefore gluten free and safe for celiac patients. Konsyl products are also safe for pregnant and nursing women. Just one serving of Konsyl Original Formula 450g provides 6 grams of psyllium fiber (equal to 3 grams of soluble fiber), 75% more than the leading brands.

A Product Review and my first GIVEAWAY!!

Image
Today I received a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout Triple Enzyme Stain Remover. The scent is Fresh Morning Burst. I am a scent orientated person, so the first thing I did was to open the bottle and smelled it. It smells so fresh and clean, I could not wait to give it a try. Four loads of laundry later, I can say that I truly love this product!! As a busy mother of two busy boys, I often miss stains on clothes before they are put into the drier and set for life. Then another piece of clothing heads for the rag bag. I love that the pretreatment is included in the product, no extra step. It works for HE and front loading machines. AND now for the giveaway, I will have two winners for coupons for a free product. Please leave me a comment about why you want to try the product. The giveaway will end on March 31 at 8:00PM EST and I will announce the winners.
