Who doesn’t love to go out to dinner? The way I justify my expenditures is to do it wisely. Interpretation: find some place that will serve your kids for free. This way you don’t feel guilty and you can indulge a little bit more. We laugh in my house because when I go out ,I like to share or to order things I would enjoy that are a little less expensive. It isn’t because I don’t spend money, it is because I can’t justify going out twice.

Here is a life tip for moms that I read about in Redbook Magazine. They suggest finding websites that post free dining around the country such as kidsmealdeals.com and kidseatfor.com.  Even better they recommend staying at Homewood Suites where guest of all ages get treated to a free hot breakfast and dinner Monday through Thursday.

Lifetips: How To Feed Your Soul -Plant Annuals

Published April 9, 2013 | By Wendy

http://www.dreamstime.com/-image832817
This is the time of year when the winter blues have disappeared but yet spring is not fully kicking in. It is as if the switch goes off and God begins to smile again. The sun comes out, the birds are chirping and at night you sit by an open window and hear the unspoken language between the frogs in the grass.  One thing that cheers me up and speeds up the season is planting annuals, not too many though because watering isn’t my forte. Here is a life tip I found noteworthy in Better Homes and Gardens March issue. I think it caught my eye because it was titled “Grab a six-pack!”

#1) Don’t just dig a hole (like I do) and jam in the plant. Apparently you are supposed to till? Mix in 2-3 inches of compost and a slow release fertilizer for good growth. Hmm..maybe that is why they die?

#2) Pick the right plant for the season. You can’t plant an impatiens when you still might get frost. A good plant for frost is the pansy, or viola or sweet alyssum. Ask the garden center.

#3) Don’t cheap out. Larger plants cost more but can be spaced farther apart , so you need fewer of them. Sometimes those 72, $5 flats don’t bloom until it’s time to plant the mums.

#4) DO NOT pinch flowers and buds off newly planted annuals. However, sniping spent blooms and pinching back leggy stems creates a better looking plant.

#5) Check out the roots. If roots are a solid mass, keep looking- don’t buy root bound plants.

Life Tips For Moms: Acne In My Forties? How To Cure It

Published April 8, 2013 | By Wendy

acneWhile examining my makeup application I couldn’t help but notice  the new potholes that had formed somewhere South of my eyes and North of my chin. Was I looking through a telescope examining the moon or was I looking at my magnified mirror in my bathroom?  I wasn’t supposed to have blackheads or zits. That was for prepubescent teens that were making their way through puberty. Besides I had checked that box and was making my way towards retirement.

With this in mind, there was an article in Better Homes and Gardens March magazine.that caught my eye.  It  was a recommendation for Cleansing Pore Strips. It read “If you have black dots on the  side of your nose and they don’t clear up with treatment, they may be hairs rather than blackheads.” Could this be my life tip to cure my acne? Either way, I am going to check these things out. Maybe there is hope after all.

Life Tips For Moms: How to Use Garlic Three Different Ways

Published April 6, 2013 | By Wendy

garlicWho doesn’t love garlic besides the guy who is kissing you? What I didn’t realize is that once a head of garlic is broken, it should be used within several days. Otherwise it is good for a month.  Here are 3 great ways to use garlic I found in the March issue of Better Homes and Gardens.

#1) Rubbed On Bread

Brush both sides of thick slice of bread with olive oil. Toast in a fry pan. Remove and set aside. Once cooled rub one side of the bread with a clove of garlic that has been cut in half. Rub with a ripe, juicy tomato that has been cut in half. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.  Yum!!!!

#2)Mashed Into Butter

Wrap a whole head of garlic in foil. Roast in 425 degree oven for 35 minutes. Let cool, then remove garlic cloves from their skins. Transfer to a bowl and mash with the back of a spoon. Add softened butter, honey, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Mix to combine. Transfer minture to a piece of waxed paper. Shape into a log and freeze. Serve on grilled chicken or fish, swirl into soup, or just smear on warm biscuits.

#3)Whirled Into A Spread

In a food processor combine white beans, garlic, and coarse salt.  Cover and process until smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in olive oil until desired consistency. Stir in chopped fresh basil. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and drizzle with additional olive oil. Serve as  spread for sandwiches or whirl with additional olive oil and serve as a dip with crackers.

When There Is A Hidden Agenda Behind Your Emails

Published April 4, 2013 | By Wendy

 

 

 

PeroxideRecently I have been trying to tell my mom that although I love her emails, I really can’t read all the two hundred daily good ones that she passes along. Here is one of her latest on the benefits of peroxide which leaves me wondering if I shouldn’t up my life insurance.

  1. Hold one capful in your mouth, no more canker soars and your teeth will be whiter than ever.  Ok so we are now ingesting it. 
  2. I had fungus on my feet for years- until sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on the (especially the toes) every night and let dry. You cannot be serious.
  3. Soak any infections or cuts. My husband has seen gangrene that wouldn’t heal with any medicine but was healed by peroxide. Now you have my attention, a mouthwash that kills gangrene. 
  4. Tilt your nostrils and spray into plugged sinuses when you have a cold.
  5. Spray in your hair to bleach it. Now that we have me ingesting it, soaking cuts, curing gangrene, and snorting it, what’s next? 
  6. Put half a bottle in your bath to rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

It goes on to say that it is the brown bottle none can live without! So there you have it. The next time you want to spread some useful tips to a loved one or friend when you are in need, pass it along so they too can know the benefits of using peroxide.

Six Steps To Beautiful Easter Eggs

Published March 30, 2013 | By Wendy


Easter eggs

At Easter I am always looking for a new idea for dying Easter Eggs. I found this idea in  Better Homes and Gardens. They show these cool eggs that have been rewrapped in textured fabric before dying. Looks really simple to do.

  1. Wrap a square of fabric tightly around the egg.
  2. Twist to close.
  3.  Secure with a rubber band. (Land the band at the back of the egg if it will displayed in a bowl, at the bottom fit’s detained for an egg cup.)
  4.  Dunk the egg in foodsafe dye, using the fabric tail as a handle.
  5. Once  the egg reaches the desired shade, take it out of the dye and blot it dry with a paper towel.
  6. Clip the rubber band and remove the fabric.

Tip: For best results, use a new piece of cheesecloth for each egg. Other fabrics can be used multiple times in the same color of dye!

Lonely At The Holiday

Published March 28, 2013 | By Wendy

metamorphosisThere are times in our life that we feel lonely. For me, today is one of them.

Celebrations, holidays, and unfortunately deaths are what bring families together. This week my family is experiencing all of the above. My daughter who is not living with me in California and attending school in Connecticut, is celebrating her admittance into UCLA.  My family, two daughters, parents and siblings are celebrating Easter together with a day long celebration on Sunday. My Mom is mourning the death of her two dear friends, one of which she grew up with from age 12, and the other she romantically shared her life with for over 20 years, both in the same funeral home, at the same time.  I am not there for any of this. I am 3,000 miles away.

In the past, I have written columns about these events assuming that people all lived close to the ones they love. Now, I know differently. Life is filled with adventures and to experience them, you have to jump on your magic carpet and go for the ride. What the fairy tales don’t tell you are the many bumps that carpet must go over in it’s journey, and that sometimes you raise your hands in exhilaration while other times you are leaning over the side, sick from the ride. Like every journey, it has its rewards. Change and adversity go hand in hand with growth and at the end of the trip a new day begins, a metamorphosis takes place,  and a different person emerges.

How To Live The Lessons We Teach Our Kids

Published March 18, 2013 | By Wendy

mirror photo
I can teach my kids lessons all day long. However when it comes down to looking into the mirror, it isn’t that easy. What’s hard is when they catch you saying one thing, and doing another. Recently I experienced this when I didn’t get a job that I wanted.

My mantra with my kids is “you are where you are supposed to be” which is a great one particularly when things are down. You don’t feel like you’ve lost because if you believe this, you know that life has taken you (or not taken you) somewhere for a reason.

Last week I experience this when I decided that I would use my yoga certification and interview for my first yoga position here in California that entailed working at a large gym, teaching a earthy crunchy  class of 60. Crazy right? Why not stand on the sidewalk and yell out “I am new at what I do and I probably suck, want to see?”  Realistically I should have found a position teaching a handful of students or bring friends into my home for a class.

“Yeah that’s good” the class organizer yelled out at the club interview. “I’ve seen enough.”

She wanted to see variety, technique, and flow in ten to fifteen minutes. So after being stopped half way through for a question, I choked! I stood frozen looking into the mirror, willing myself to remember my next asana.

“Come back in two weeks after you have worked on your flow and let’s see if we can get you into a class” she instructed me.

When I got home my daughter studied my face for clues. She looked directly into my eyes.

“How did it go?”

I wanted to cry, maybe even jump up and down and hold my breath in a tantrum. Then I wanted to sling myself onto the couch and bury my head into the pillows, but I couldn’t. I was a mother.

“Fine” I replied.

“Just fine, she loved me and wanted me back in two weeks after I tweaked a few of my moves.”

“So you bombed.”

“Yup and it doesn’t bother me. Deep down I know that this is  exactly where I am supposed to be, home practicing yoga until I am good enough to get out and try it again.”
