We had so much this Christmas season🥰🎄the Seattle Washington area definitely does not disappoint when it comes to celebrating the holidays. We finally made it to the Nutcracker as a family💖we got snowed in for a few days☃️ and Christmas Town did not disappoint again.

Hopefully everyone is getting ready to ring in a new year…. full of hope for a happy 2023✨️this year I think we’ll celebrate at New York time because you know kids😉

I did come up with a great lemoncello recipe, a new perfume spray and I found an amazing pound cake recipe this year…. so I will be posting those soon🤗

I love the holidays but I swear I lose track of time so easily this time of year. I thought I just posted🤪

I do have some awesome food recipes and cough cream recipes that I’m going to add, because if you’re family is like mine you have been fighting germs since September with no end in sight. Make sure to take your vitamins and upper your elderberry too💜

We did make it up to Canada 🇨🇦 which was awesome…. we had a very mellow Thanksgiving which was a nice change 🤗 and have fully embraced the holidays, even had snow days☃️

Hope everyone is staying well and warm, it’s going to be a cold winter says the Almanac

So the next full Moon it basically upon us now, and it’s going to be a lunar eclipse how cool! So I love a bunch of different websites for finding information about th book but I really love how NASA uses the Old Farmers Almanac for a lot.

https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/2313/the-next-full-moon-is-the-beaver-frost-frosty-or-snow-moon/#:~:text=The%20next%20full%20Moon%20will,honor%20of%20the%20full%20Moon.

So for every full Moon I personally like to do a few things that make it more special and meaningful. So I start by filling my two water carafes and then I set them out in direct sight of the moon. What you’re essentially doing is charging the water with the energy from the full moon🤗The full moons bring about seasonal changes and energy shifts and I feel it’s important to acknowledge and embrace this. So I fill my carafes and while I’m doing this I’m thinking in my head what areas I’m hoping to focus on. Areas with my family, my friends, my partner, my personal self growth, anything I’m trying to focus on. And I repeat what it is I’m hoping to focus on whether it be more patience or kindness or communicating better, whatever it is I start repeating in my head what it is I’m desiring. An example would be me asking for peace and calming energy when I know it’s going to be a crazy month. A lot of people call this manifesting and I truly believe it does just that,help manifest wants.

After charging my water overnight under the full moon I will then take that water and use it!! (Sometimes I will place all my stone jewelry in a basket under the moon as well as small carrying stones too.) Ipads. wash my larger crystals & stones with the water, again repeating the affirmations I want to see come to pass. Then I will use the water to make my homemade body perfume, disinfecting spray, household fragrances & bedroom night time sprays mixing my own essential oil blends. And then everytime I’m using one of these sprays I’m reaffirming the positive thoughts I am trying to manifest. It’s a great way to remind oneself of small goals, one I make personal to my family needs.

So happy Moon cycle all🤗I’m going to make sure to use the full moon cycle as my reminder to be more active on here sharing. That’s one of this months moon affirmations, that’s what I’ll call them😉😁

So this fall hit us hard and hit us fast… we went to alot of patches and had many zombie paintball & sleepovernight… Whatdid everyone else do? I feel like we went a little extra because being limited last year but u am not complaining. Our you gest also turned 3, so busy busy busy🤪

Our youngest turned three🥰I can’t believe how advanced she is for her age, definitely trying to keep up with her siblings. She is a firecracker and I cannot love her anymore.

We’ve been partying non-stop for over a week and finally getting the house and kids back on track, just in time for Halloween to mess them back up😆

We did finally get some rain up here to clear the smoke out, so soaking up the fresh air…💙first time since living up here in Washington I wanted rain🌧

Wowza! I hope everyone got outside to enjoy the full moon that happened over the weekend. She was such a powerful one up here we are still enjoying it, day and night. Don’t forget to set those affirmations during the full moon! Focus on a few things you are trying to accomplish and say them to yourself, give those words power. You’ll find the louder you get the more specific as well. You can bathe your crystals in the moon light to charge them or make moon water to cleanse them with later. I personally love to use my moon water all over. My favorite use of my moon water is for my perfume spray and house fragrance spray.

These beauties were at one of our favorite local garden spots, Molbaks in Woodinville WA. How awesome are these ideas for dried preserves. I know I usually have fruits needing to get dehydrated as well as herbs and spices on hand. How fun to gift these to people for the holidays or for goodbye goodies after your Fall Party🥰I’m in love

Ok maybe I’m late to this party but I’m so excited to be here😄

I recently discovered that you can pop the top of those little AirWick room fragrance thingy-s….. So instead of tossing them save those bad biscuits! I popped theophylline then filled it with coconut oil (if you’re new here this is my staple, I’m just nuts about it😉 then I added a TON of Spearmint & Papaya essential oil and boom! The girls bathroom smells amazing again (and not like diapers). It’s not as noticeable a color because I use real oils and no one needs to add food coloring. Although you could add coloring if you really want🌈 How perfect for the season change to swap out those room fragrances. My fave fall scent to mix up : Vanilla, Palo Santo, & Cedar🍂🍁

Still processing through things these days but I have a great wellness team helping me. I recently got some amazing advice, I’m sure a lot of people have gotten but I thought I’d share. If you find yourself going down that “what if” rabbit hole regarding others, know this: other’s people journeys are not about you, it’s not about you.

Some would argue this point a lot but if you meditate on it you might find you have an “a ha” moment. I look at this saying asmeaning a lot. You can’t let other’s choices effect you all you can do is help them to better themselves along their journey.

Going to try to get back in the swing of this site again. I have more homestead style recipes to share and things I have learned, mostly the hard way 😄 baby steps to back at this
