Meet Peanut!

My husband, David, has always had the biggest soft spot for animals. So when he found this little cutie flipped on her back in the middle of the road, he HAD to pull over! Once verifying that she wasn't hurt, he searched and searched to try to find her ducky family, but they were no where to be found. So he brought her home.

After a quick crash course on how to raise ducklings, we have outfitted a nesting area for her (a big box filled with wood shavings, a small water dish, bowl of special duck food, and a heat lamp), and we're raising her until she's old enough to survive on her own. (btw, the she is just an assumption. It's next to impossible to tell whether a duck is male or female until they are almost full grown)

In the week since he brought her home, these are the few things we have learned about her (and ducks in general)....


1. They love & need to stay warm. She was only about 1 week old when he found her, and they need to stay roughly 95 degrees during that time. Hence the heat lamp. BUT, they're very very very social creatures, so she spends a lot of time cuddled up with us. Her favorite place is up around your neck, cuz it's nice & warm. Especially if you're wearing a collared shirt!

2. They imprint on whomever they feel is their mother. So David is finally a MOTHER for the first time in his life! LOL!

3. All that bread, popcorn, etc that you feed the ducks at the park? It's pure JUNK FOOD for them. It's like Duck Crack. They're totally addicted to it, but it's not really good for them.

In the meantime, we've totally fallen in love with her. I can't imagine how difficult it will be to set her free in 8 weeks, but I know we need to. We'll just treasure every moment we have with her in the mean time!

A little bit of Humor...

We've been busy with restocking our products and planning out our 2010 product line up. Not to mention we've also had some major upheavals since the beginning of the year that have put us a little behind schedule, but we're pushing through, just like always.

And because those dark & frustrating times ALWAYS look better with a little laughter, I want to leave this with you....

• Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" The mother replied, "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child thought about this for a moment then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"

• A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late.... But please don't shove me either!"

• A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He answered, "Call for backup."

• This one is true in our house..... A Sunday School teacher discussed the Ten Commandments with her five & six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'Honor they father and they mother,' she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

And from my own children....

• This past Sunday, my boys learned about creation and Adam & Eve in their Sunday School classes. We like to talk about what they've learned so that we can help them retain some of that knowledge. We asked our boys, "Who were the first people created on the Earth?" Our 7 year old piped up, "Eve!" We said, "Good job! Who else was created along with Eve?" Our 6 year old chimed in, "Wally!" ...Um.... I think our kids may be watching too many Disney Pixar movies! LOL! So now you all know, that if Walt Disney had created the Earth, the first two beings would have been named Wally & Eve.

Time to Come Clean!

Have you taken the time to come clean lately? I mean REALLY clean! Our new line of facial masks are designed to help deep clean your pores, leaving you squeaky clean and fresh faced!



Our new line of facial masks are what are called "Dry Face Masks". What does this mean exactly? To start with, exactly how it sounds! The mask arrives completely dry. There are no liquids in these masks. By not adding any liquids we've done two things. 1. We've eliminated the need for a synthetic preservative. These products are 100% natural. And 2. You get to customize the mask to fit your skin perfectly by changing the liquid you add to use your mask!

What mask should I get?

Normal or Combination Skin: Pomegranate Power Mask, Triple Comfort Mask

Oily or Acne Prone Skin: Zebra Face Charcoal Mask, Parisian Glow Mask

Sensitive or Dry Skin: Soothing Lavender Mask, Milk 'n' Honey Mask (coming soon)


What a few of our customers have had to say so far:

• Soothing Lavender: "WONDERFUL! Very refreshing for my sensitive skin!"

• Triple Comfort: "I absolutely love this mask! I love the smell of it as you open the jar, and wow, I so noticed a really visible improvement on the look of my pores! This definitely a must have!"

• Zebra Face: "I really feel like this cleaned out my pores - thanks!"

• Parisian Glow: "I'm so impressed with this mask! My face does literally glow!! Really perfect mask to use before a big day when you want to look radiant! Lindsay, I've become a huge fan of your masks! Another must have!"

You can find these wonderful new masks on our Website or in our Etsy Shop.

12 Years of Age - My Mother doesn't know everything!

14 Years of Age - My Mother? She wouldn't have a clue!

16 Years of Age - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.

18 Years of Age - That old woman? She's way out of date!

35 Years of Age - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 Years of Age - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 Years of Age - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.


The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
