It's that time!

Remember this:




They might cry and moan, but it's that time of year again. It's time to get up earlier, and wake those sleeping, grumpy children. It's time to pack lunches and backpacks...and let's not forget homework.

Because if your children have homework you have homework too!

Moms and Dads while preparing your children for school it's important to make time for your soul and mind. It's difficult to nourish others if we don't take care of ourselves. It's very easy to get frazzled while everyone in the household is adjusting to the back to school schedule.

What works best for me is getting up early before anyone else is moving in the house.(5am-5:30am). This is time for me. As soon as my feet hit floor I say thank you. I say a prayer/mediate and give to thanks to a new day. I read  positive quotes to feed my mind and soul.

After that I put on a pot of coffee. While that's brewing I take some bread and nuts to feed the birds and squirrels. All kinds of birds appear Robins, Cardinals, the occasional Blue Jay and many sparrows. I love to watch the animals eat while I sip my coffee before the sun appears.

It's a beautiful time of day.

Now I'm ready to start my day. Got to drop my son off and catch the early morning train. May you find your peace.

Namaste

Hot fun in the summertime!!

No more staring at the clock waiting for the work week to be over. No more squeezing into the subway car like sardines, dreaming of your nice comfy couch. It's Friday, and the long Fourth of July weekend awaits. The holiday offers an excuse to gorge on hot dogs, steak, corn, seafood, cake and anything else that fits in our mouths. Time to relax in the back yard with a nice cold drink. But what do you do when you hear that little voice say, "MOM!! DAD!! I made a mess." The little one comes running to you with hands full of dirt, juice, food and that slimy stuff that only kids can find. What are you going to clean it with? How about one of our soaps.

mosquitoes take over!

Here are a few timely articles to inform and entertain you.

Landscapes that Attract Nature
Did you know that certain bushes,trees and shrubs can attract beautiful birds such as cardinals,woodpeckers and hummingbirds to your yard or balcony?(I have Blue Jays and Cardinals in my yard) Berries are a big hit with birds and butterflies enjoy flowers with nectar,which they suck out of the blossoms with their long tongues.

If you have a dead tree limbs in an inconspicuous place in your yard,consider leaving them there ,as allowing them to remain can attract chickadees, nuthatches and several woodpecker species.
Naturally, the ever popular butterfly bush will certainly attract tons of various butterflies and will act as a vibrant
spot in your garden as well. Use your garden space wisely and fill it with plats that will bring nature up close and personal in your daily life.
