OCM

What is OCM you ask? It is the oil cleaning method.  So for years I have struggled with my skin. It is very oily and I still get breakouts. In high school I had great skin, then I started having kids and now I have the skin of a teenage boy.  HORMONES....geeesh.  So I saw this face cleaning method on pinterest and decided to try it out.  I bought my supplies today and I can't wait to get started.  I hope in several weeks I will see a big improvement and this will be my skins saving grace.  The science behind it made sense to me and it is so natural.  Basically you use two parts castor oil to one part evoo, sunflower, or grapeseed oil for oily skin.  There is a ton of stuff on the internet about what types of oils you should use for your skin type and the ratio.  I went with two parts castor oil and one part grapeseed oil for my first batch.  I can't wait to try it out tonight!  It is supposed to be an amazing makeup remover also.

This kid amazes me everyday! He is such a neat person. I can't believe we have gotten him to double digit status. He is 10!!!!! I have a brilliant, kind, and Beautiful ten year old son.
He wanted donuts and grapefruit this morning for his Birthday Breakfast. He said they were so tasty masty.

(Who says people don't use their pins from pinterest? I will have you know this recipe is from pinterest and it was perfect for Breakfast Donuts!)

*PARKER is 10*

10 things about our Parker

1. He is so kind and caring.
2. He plays the piano amazingly well.
3. The kid will be into Star Wars Legos for the rest of his life!
4. He is a great big brother. He really looks after Hannah.
5. He has the most amazing sense of humor.
6. And his giggle is contagious.
7. He always wants to do what's right.
8. He LOVES to read.
9. He still snuggles and GIVES hugs;)
10. We love him more than anything in the world.


Parker is getting to the point with his piano playing where he can choose songs he really likes and read the music and play them. We have a Coldplay book and he has been learning "Clocks". Its neat to see him get to the point of playing songs he really loves. He is also learning "Amsterdam" by Coldplay by ear, we don't have the sheet music for that one. Unfortunately right before we took this video one of our middle keys started sticking so he wasn't to thrilled with the sound of his performance. I still thought it was great!!

Annual Halloween Donut Fry

I believe this was either our 3rd or 4th annual donut fry, but only our 2nd year where we handed out donuts to trick or treaters. It is so much work! But well worth it. Thanks everyone that helped, you guys really are amazing!! We COULDN"T do it without you.






CoRnBeLlYs



Cornbellys certainly didn't disappoint again this year. The kids had a blast as always! Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa.








Crazy Hair Day



The kids had crazy hair day at school awhile back, but with all the crazyness going on I am just barely getting to posting it. They both thought this was so hilarious. Hannah picked a "bunhawk" and Parker picked just crazy hair!!!!!
