HELP!! MY daughter is having her first “breakout” and I have no idea how to help her. Anyone know how to get rid of blackheads really fast??  Can anyone suggest a good face wash that is good for sensitive skin?? It’s been too long since I had to worry about anything like this.   I keep telling her, WASH YOUR FACE MORE!! I am thinking, although this is good advice, it isn’t going to save her completely from getting blackheads….Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

So, I have been thinking.  I know,  know….ANYWAY, we recently visited another camp in the area to see what we could see.  We  are trying to get some ideas on how to make our camp better.  Not that we would ever copy someone else, but we may be able to steal all their ideas incorporate some of what works for them to make our camp better.  Anyway they have this huge “gift shop”, which is is something we will probably never have. BUT, we do have a “snack shack”, where the kidlets can come and buy goodies.  I thought it might be cool for the them to be able to buy little mementos to remind them of their stay with us here at Fort Faith.  Things like  t-shirts and/or custom water bottles with our logo on them.  It might be a good way for the camp to be able to pay the bills little easier too!! Just a thought…

Be Blessed…

My poor little girl!!  Now that she is a teen, she is starting to get acne.  It only seems to be on her nose, though , which seems to always be oily, so I am constantly telling her  to wash her face better!!  I think she just gets excess oil built up there and it causes her to break out.   I am considering getting her some kind of special soap or face wash. But, there are so many different causes of acne, it’s hard to know what the  best acne products are for you.  Anyone have a product that works good for you???

Thanks, in advance for any suggestions!! Be Blessed….

UUggghhh.  Every time I go in pumpkin_seeds bathroom, the hand towel is on the floor.  I don’t know if it’s her that throws it down or if it’s the neighbor kids who seem to live here part time.  But I do know that I am losing my sanity!!! AAAhhhh!!!  That’s it!! I’m buying one of those hand dryers, like the ones in restaurants….that will cut down on laundry too!!! I’m just sayin’…

If you are planning a family vacation this winter break, you should look at going to one of the disney world resorts.  Sometimes you can find all inclusive packages that cover everything but airfare or travel expenses. But sometimes even that!  Disney has always been a great place to visit especially if you have kids.  There is so much to do, you will want o go again and again!!

I am the mother of a teenager!!  My little pumpkin_seed turned 13 in October!  She is a beautiful girl and doesn’t have much of an acne problem, YET.  She has had a few blemishes here and there but nothing outrageous, YET.  I know there will probably be a time when I will be searching the internet and all the top magazines for the best acne treatments, but for now, I will just enjoy her becoming a little lady!!

So, I guess electronics are the in thing right now.  They have these interactive pets called Zhu Zhu pets or some such thing.  Well, I wanted to get one for pumpkin_seed cause she had been wanting a hamster or a guinea pig, but I don’t want the mess.  So I thought these would be perfect!! BUT they are so expensive! I couldn’t believe my eyes.  These things are going for $60 and more….and that doesn’t include all the little toys that they can play with.  Oh well, guess pumpkin_seed will have to wait for hers!!!

Every year pumpkin_seed has to do a Science Fair project and we go out and buy a cardboard display of some sort.  One year she and her dad made one with a little “house” with furniture and lights and the whole nine yards and the science part was how the light switch worked.  It was very cool.  She loves spending time with her dad working on ANYTHING!!!  I hope her new school does the same thing!!

My hubby had a good job with benefits when my son went to heaven.  Although most people don’t, we had life insurance policies on everyone in the family, the children included.  And I’m so glad we did.  Funerals and burials are EXPENSIVE!!!  I know it’s hard to think about and even harder to take steps to make sure you are covered, but you can find term life insurance online.  I encourage you to inquire about  life insurance, for EVERYONE  in your family.

Well, as you may or may not know….depending on how often you visit, I haven’t posted for almost a week.  I did my Menu Plan Monday, then nothing.  That is because on Tuesday I found out, after being on the brink of death sick for 5 weeks, I have pneumonia.  I did not have pneumonia that long, but I had been sick on and off for that long.  Dr. said it isn’t the worst case he has seen, or even close, but he was glad I came in when I did so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

So after two days in bed on the couch per Dr.’s orders, I still felt like death warmed over.  And still today I am not feeling 100%.  Not even 75% truth be told.  I feel like I’m running at about 45-50%. I hope this doesn’t last long!!!   And if I don’t quit coughing, I am going to have a melt-down!!!  So pray for a speedy recovery, would you please??

Also, please pray for pumpkin_seed, as she fights a virus this week, she is finally not running a fever!!
