That is amazing! They are also having some other deals that are unbelievable. Their link is on the left hand of this blog. Sorry I am still learning how to do this blog thing or I would put a link here. <br />
<br />
<br />
And now down to business, I thought I would give a quick update on how my oil journey is going. We have built up our supply a lot and have found a few things that are amazing. Here's a fast rundown:<br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is from Rebecca at http://campwander.blogspot.com/2013/08/sore-throat-tonsillitis-relief-blend.html<br />
<br />

Sorry I can't figure out how to make this a direct link yet. <br />
<br />
Sore Throat & Tonsillitis Relief Blend<br />
____________________________________________<br />
<br />
20 drops Lavender<br />
30 drops Melaleuca<br />
10 drops Ginger<br />
4 drops Lemon<br />
~ fractionated coconut oil<br />
<br />
Add EOs to a 5ml (1/6 oz) glass roller bottle. Next, top off the bottle with fractionated coconut oil, snap on the roller top and gently blend by tipping the bottle upside down.<br />
<br />
Roll the blend over the throat area 3x daily, for additional support massage the blend on the upper abdomen and upper back too. Continue the protocol until symptoms subside and beyond by 2 to 3 days. <br />
<br />
I didn't have the ginger but just rubbing the mix I made on the outside of the throat is amazing. It takes away the pain!! Wow! It doesn't cure it right away, but it works.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another one I am really loving is the Respire Blend which is the Oil of the month for December. It has really helped with my kids' cough. <br />
<br />
I have a experimented with a few others that I will have to talk about later<br />
<br />

I hate how simple medical procedures are so ridiculously priced. I am a penny pincher and watch where most of our money goes and this drives me crazy. When I get a bill for $150 or more for 5 minutes talking to my doctor, I can't stand it. So, I have been investigating other options. <br />
<br />
Another thing that has lead to some recent changes in my life is pretty insignificant, but hopefully, you will see where I am going with this. Here's the story. We had some name brand mosquito repellent in the cupboard, sitting inside an extra door shelf from our fridge. Somehow, the can leaked. The stuff that came out of the can, melted and liquified the hard plastic fridge thing and the plastic coating on our cupboard shelves. This kind of freaked me out. We put this on our skins and on our kid's skin. That can't be safe. <br />
<br />
Things two things in our lives have led me to investigate other options to treat simple life problems. I started following different blogs and researching oils. A couple of years ago, I went to a different essential oils class and was really fascinated, but didn't want to pay the really high prices. Last spring, I tried a different brand oil with my croupy little girl and was fairly pleased. Then recently, I found a blog promoting a new company, Spark Naturals! Their cost for essential oils is great! They also had an Oil of The Month Club which was really affordable and helped me start building my supply. I am hooked. Even if I can save our family one trip to the doctor, it will pay for all my oils. <br />
<br />
I then found how I can now become an Affiliate of this company and give my friends a discount! So there it is. I have never done something like this before, but I am excited to share my journey with essential oils with you. I am not completely blog savey, so I don't know how to put a pretty picture with the link, but here you go anyway. <br />

Let me know if you know how to fix it.
We just had Harvard Beets for dinner and they are delicious. It is like beets with a sweet n' sour sauce.
Here is how to cook beets and the recipe just for kicks. Let me know if you need beets!
How To Cook Beets: Boiling
Prep:
• Trim back the roots and leaf stalks to about 1″ then wash under cool running water. Be careful to not scrub the skin too hard when washing and do not cut or slice off any part of the beet so the skin stays intact (for best results when boiling, the skins need to be on to retain the color and flavor).
Directions:
• Place beets in a large pot then cover with cold water. Add salt and sugar then cover (approximately 1 tsp sugar + 1 tsp salt per 1/2 gallon of water).
• Turn heat on high until water begins to boil then reduce heat to medium to keep water at a simmer.
• Cook 45 minutes to an hour or until done (for large, fresh beets) or up to four hours (for large, older beets from storage).
• Once beets are cooked, remove from heat, drain water and then plunge beets quickly into cold water. Remove beets from cold water, cut off root tips & stems and you should be able to rub the skins off easily with a damp towel.
• Serve freshly cooked beets sliced or mashed with a bit of butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Havard Beets—Low Fat
4 medium sized beets 2 TBS Corn starch 2 TBS Vinegar
2 TBS Sugar 1 TBS Margarine or Butter
Cook beets as above, reserving ½ a cup of liquid. Slice beets. In a medium saucepan, combine reserved beet liquid, sugar, vinegar and cornstarch, Cook an stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in beets and margarine or butter, heat thorough. Makes 4 servings.Haystack Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01623665634391378132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317442885365232868.post-57135391897717860352012-07-05T15:11:00.001-07:002012-07-05T15:15:48.924-07:00It has been raining most of the day so I finally can catch up on inside stuff.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not only is it great for our garden and making things look amazing, but we are not having to spend time watering. We will probably pay for it in weeding time later, but for now it is great. Last weekend, we got 1.3" of rain and this is the rain gauge since last Sunday. It is almost 1.2." Wonderful!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSjwt5aB6jr9-lRSABD9WOLKkZY_BIX8RKMWIqJZu1D9WK-Hn8S-TqAnxB9BZ5iYZv5wm7wuk43DQtSZzOuzJ81VxgARO4370H5GEpKjCUq5IgbzdxDLYhexHd7z_Hr2bYD5Ps088fBmg/s1600-h/DSCN1562.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSjwt5aB6jr9-lRSABD9WOLKkZY_BIX8RKMWIqJZu1D9WK-Hn8S-TqAnxB9BZ5iYZv5wm7wuk43DQtSZzOuzJ81VxgARO4370H5GEpKjCUq5IgbzdxDLYhexHd7z_Hr2bYD5Ps088fBmg/s320/DSCN1562.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346242190872696226" border="0" /></a><br />I thought I would throw in a few pictures of what the rain is doing for us.

The farmer who owns the land has wheat planted and has let me use a row on the end. I think the row is about 760 feet long. As you can see in this picture, the weeds are getting ahead of me, but I really do work on it.
