The big week has come. The plants have been selected and are all paired nicely with their companions. We tilled this weekend and are all set to start turning in some extra nutrients (I like manure, peat moss, and compost personally) during the week and then Thursday through the weekend we'll be putting the seeds and seedlings into the ground. I promise to share pictures. :D
How are your gardens going? I know many of you have a jump start on me but I'm ecstatic to be sharing with all of you. :)

ENOUGH
Apparently I have yet again missed the "gravy train" parents ranting on both sides of the fence about food allergies, food sensitivities, and anything else that might cause them to have to think twice (or would rather NOT have to think twice) about what they are serving someone else.
I'm the mom of 2 boys - neither has severe food allergies (thank God) although one does have some very minor apple sensitivity issues. I have NEVER in all the years I have worked with children (now 20+) had a problem with a child and their dietary needs. EVER. If you're one of my Scout Moms, CCD Moms, Homeschool Party Moms, then you already know that I care DEEPLY about these things and your child's safety because I would pray that if the tables were turned you would care as much about MY child.
I am HONORED to have the chance to work with your children. I am BLESSED to have the opportunity to spend time with them and have them help change MY life - yeah, that's right - MY life. Your kids make ME a better person and I am grateful. Food allergies, medical issues, and all. Your children give me the gift of seeing the world through their beautiful, intelligent eyes and I am the better for it each and every day.
I've been the person who has gone to a party and not been able to eat ANYTHING I was served. I've been the girl who had to quietly push food into a napkin so she didn't offend anyone. I've flushed chili down a toilet to keep a host from being embarrassed. Attending food events is often a nightmare for me because of my food allergies and my desperate attempts to keep anyone else from having to deal with them. I have even ended up in Confession LYING to get out of attending these events to save myself and hostesses from embarrassment that I inevitably know would ensue.
My own experiences are why I never mind helping my kids. I even *gasp* don't allow them to have "substitute treats". What's good enough for one is good enough for all. Scout Campout? Make sure everyone can eat what is on the menu and pick food using the democratic process. CCD Snacks, yup - I'm the Mom sending carrots and dip or fruit kabobs.
You know what the funny thing is? I've NEVER had a child complain. Not in 20+ years of doing this. Maybe it's because I try very hard to make certain all is still "yummy" but more than likely it's because I don't allow them to play favorites. I've had gluten free, dairy free, food coloring free, vegetarian, vegan, soy free, diabetic, etc etc etc. Never a problem - not once! Sure, sometimes we had to get rather creative, but we made it work! And the kids are BETTER for it because they're learning to work together and actually CARE about other human beings! *I* am better for it because I get to use my creativity to create new and exciting things in the world of food!
Stop the whining - ALL OF YOU. I get that it stinks on both sides of the fence. Telling a kid "no" is NOT the end of the world - on BOTH SIDES. If ALL of us could be just a little more compassionate maybe our children can focus on solving world peace rather than arguing over whether or not cupcakes are an acceptable snack.

My New 4 Letter Word
There is no secret that my world focuses extensively on my 2 beautiful boys and my amazing husband. Yesterday while running errands I had a few minutes to think on words and what I would like to eliminate from my vocabulary. One word in particular came to the surface. I've used it quite often and when I really thought about it, it's been used 99% of the time as a pretty white lie:
One 4 Letter Word that crushes imaginations, disappoints, and creates chaos in my life. When am I TRULY too "busy" for the people I love? I went through and counted up the things I'd been "too busy" to do in the past week.
Or as the Church calls it in the 7 Deadly Sins, Sloth.
So for all of you out there who are "too busy", I invite you to join me. For the next month - until June 15, I will be banishing "too busy" from my vocabulary. I will either explain why I was not able to do something with what I was doing that prevented the activity OR I will....get this...DO what someone is asking of me.
Join me - we could change the "too busy" world we live in, one mind at a time.

- I was "too busy" to check on Netflix for a neighbor who was looking for a recommendation of survival shows to watch.
- I was "too busy" to let my son help me make dinner at least half the nights in the past week.
- I was "too busy" too many times to count because I was on my computer researching or doing something *I* wanted to be doing instead of playing with my children.
- I was "too busy" to properly clean the house and work on the things my husband asked me to do.
- I was "too busy" to cuddle with the toddler.
- I was "too busy" to help my son put up his tent in the yard.
- I was "too busy" to take the kids to the park.
- I was "too busy" to leave for Mass on time so we were late.

A Minor Nightmare and a Gallant Rescue
I love camping. I absolutely 110% LOVE camping. There is nothing like getting away from being plugged in and taking the kids out to the middle of nowhere and getting lost in God and everything He has made.
I'd like to introduce you to my tent. Actually, this isn't a pic of MY tent, but the current model available for sale at Kmart.
It's HUGE. I nicknamed it the "Chalet". It's actually 3 "rooms" in there. GINORMOUS tent. There's even built in closets! I'm not joking!!! STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!!!!
Last summer my gorgeous tent went to camp with my husband. Unfortunately in their haste to take it down the last morning, they forgot to make certain it was dry. They were CONVINCED it was 100% dry. I never checked (bad Mommy).
Yup - mildew and mold. In places that are well over the top of my head (it's about 7 feet tall at the peak!). This is NOT good.
I sat there inside the tent with the box that had just arrived and wanted to cry. My beautiful tent was being eaten by mildew and cleaning it was going to make me sick and possibly blind (bleach overhead is NEVER a good idea). I looked at the box and I wondered....what if I used the essential oils inside to clean it? COULD they do the job? Were they CAPABLE of this feat?!?!?!
I went inside and got to work doing what I do best on Google. I checked my favorite sites, a few recipe places I'd bookmarked, a book I'd purchased, and came to the conclusion. I think I can do this.
My favorite site, Learning About Essential Oils provided the Basic Bathroom Spray I was going to base this on. I <3 Lea's site. She's a fellow homeschooler and a REALLY neat lady.
That said, I also knew that tent was going to have a toddler inside so adjustments needed to be made. I substituted the Peppermint in the recipe for Fir Needle, a similar oil in terms of performance but safe for little guys to inhale while Mom is scrubbing over the top of her head. I also needed to use Cinnamon Leaf instead of Cinnamon Bark due to little lungs.
I also didn't have a ton of vinegar on hand and the only spray bottle I had to use was 2 oz. More adjustments necessary. So I decided to mix up the oil magic and then dilute just enough for my little bottle. I made the full recipe of oils in a 5 ml empty bottle (always have these on hand!!!) and then divided the total number of drops (120 for inquiring minds) by 3 (because 6/2=3) which equaled 40.
I put 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 drop of dish detergent, and 30 drops of the oil in the bottle (I figured I could add more if needed). Swish swish. Topped it off with H20, sealed, and swished again. Armed with a damp sponge, I went to work.
100% of the spots have faded at least 50%. About 50% of the spots are completely gone. On 9 month old mildew!!!!
Even better news, the combined properties of these essential oils area antifungal (Cinnamon Bark, Tea Tree, and Lemon), anti-microbial (Cinnamon Bark), antibacterial (Cinnamon Bark and Lemon), and act as a natural deodorizer (Fir Needle).
Oh, and I still have my sight. That's a biggie. :D

Packing for Travel
The sun is shining, the warm breezes are beginning to blow, and rainy season is almost through! It's time to start looking at travel plans for your spring/summer adventures!
The very thought of going "on the road" brings on sheer panic for Moms across the country. Our family is used to living out of suitcases and recently some of you asked me to share the packing lists I use for my children.
Overnight
2 Night
Weekend
Week Long
Camping Weekend
Camping Week Long
I print these lists out and then laminate them with glossy laminating pages. Each child has their own color card stock the original list was written on so they know it's "theirs" and a dry erase marker. When we're getting ready for a trip a use a WET erase marker and draw a line through anything they do not need to bring. Then use the same marker to write in anything in the blank spots they need that is not on the list.
For younger children, have them lay their items out on the bed for you to check before they put them in the suitcase. This is also helpful for older children who may try to "sneak in" questionable clothing leaving you with no option other than wrapping them in a blanket for the entire vacation. For these children I mark off their list as they put the items into the suitcase (or vice versa). For children that are capable of packing themselves have them mark off their items from the list and pack their suitcase. Once it's all checked off we leave the suitcase open with the list sitting on top for Mom or Dad to check along with their marker.
Once the suitcases are checked, they are IMMEDIATELY locked with a luggage lock. Why? Because little kids will undo your packing and older children with modesty issues might try to swap out clothes. For security reasons, all luggage is locked in our family. Problem solved. :) That luggage is then moved to the central packing area which is usually our dining room or mudroom depending on how many suitcases and how long until we leave.
Voila! No more left behind socks and no bringing 50 shirts to choose from for teenage girls. No more emergency runs to the Walmart for the child who brought 10 toy cars but no pants. All the arguing is abrogated because everyone has the same list and the same amount of space.
When you're packing up to come back home, out come the lists again. Have the kids check off the items as they repack their suitcases. No more left behind favorite shirts that have to be shipped later!

For the RIGHT Reasons
After nearly 600,000 Jews had been deported/murdered from the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland to either death camps, forced labor camps, or the Treblinka Killing Center from July 22, 1942 to September 12, 1942, the Ghetto's population was to be "held" at 35,000. An additional 20,000 men and women were in hiding in the ghetto. In response, the Jewish Combat Organiztion (Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa; ZOB) and the Jewish Military Union (Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy; ZZW) joined forces to protect the lives of those they loved and lived with. In preparation they began to make homemade STEN guns and grenades out of any metals they could find in the basements of the ghetto.
The initial quest of the uprising began when Heinrich Himler decided to liquidate the ghetto in October 1942. The first attempt at mass deportation to forced labor camps on January 18, 1943 was met with enough chaos from the dissidents in the ZOB and ZZW that only 5,000-6,000 were able to be deported before the SS had to stop their mission.
When they returned on April 19, 1943 they were met with a resistance they could never have surmised coming from the ghetto's residence. On the eve of Passover, 1943 Nazi troops arrived to find the streets deserted and were picked off and isolated by ZOB and ZZW units around the ghetto. For 20 days the Uprising fought for their lives until their command bunker was captured on May 8.
While nearly 100% of those in the Warsaw ghetto were murdered for their efforts and the ghetto itself was reduced to ruin, the spirit of what they had accomplished lived on and rumors of their successes spread across Europe. In the ultimate cry of "We're not going to take it anymore!" they rose up and fought for their freedom when they had no choice left.
Ultimately the Warsaw Ghetto Rebellion was the largest rebellion by the Jewish population and the first urban uprising against the Nazis. They are the ones that inspired thousands to fight for their own freedom and turn the tide against the Germans in formal resistance movements.
May the Lord bless those who have risen up against tyranny and those who came to their aid.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." ~ Matthew 5:9

| The Polish STEN. Often the ones used in the Ghetto Uprising were not automatic, but rather single shot which were then reloaded and fired again, similar to the way a black powder musket would have worked but requiring less material to build, less powder to charge, and a lighter, more deadly round to deliver. |

Children's "Television"
Okay, I know there is a LOT of debate out there about how much screen time and if children should have any screen time, should they only have tv vs. computers vs. tablets etc. but allow me to deviate and not discuss ANY of that today. Today I want to focus on something that had somehow escaped me until this morning.
We're visiting family right now and we're having a lovely time. When we're at home, our television is usually on our favorite news in the AM and the kids often watch with us. If we aren't watching that it's usually off. I don't have "children's television" on 99% of the time when the tv is on. This morning I was busy and my oldest turned on the tv to occupy himself and his little brother. They were enjoying it as I ran in and out of the room attending to laundry, breakfast, and a host of other things until the inevitable BAD thing happened.
I noticed Sesame Street was on. I honestly didn't think a thing of it. The Count was receiving the Noble Peace Prize for Counting. Okay. Then via the segment they explained what an imposter was. Alright. Later on as I sat at the dining room table I giggled as a segment began with the music of Les Miserables in which Cookie Monster plays Jean Valjean and the other players covet his cookies.
And now they have my attention. I was a music major in college and this is one of my FAVORITE shows. I'm ready to giggle as we watch a Sesame Street adaptation of a modern classic.
Except it wasn't. Jean Valjean encounters Fantine and basically tells her to take a long walk off a short bridge. He refuses Cosette's pleas for help as well with a "well, I know how you feel but get your own cookies and then you'll feel better". WHAT?!?!?!?!?
Then as the French Resistance forms they are planning to attack....get this...Valjean because he won't share his cookies with anyone.
Wait....WHAT!?!?!?!? Valjean is not the villian of the play. Not even close!!!!!
So out of fear Valjean capitulates and decides he should share his cookies and then they're all happy.
Ummmm.....NO.
Fortunately shortly after that tirade the "new" version of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood". 100% animated and hosted by Daniel Tiger, an animated tiger child who during this particular episode was throwing tantrums and having difficulty using his words.
Ummm.......NO.
Mr. Rogers is NOT able to be replace by a child Tiger who can't get his act together. NO. That's where I hit my limit. What I LOVED about Mr Rogers as a child was not just that he was "on tv". He was real. It was a REAL world that also went into "make believe" with a pointed difference when it was done. He did REAL things. He showed the world kindness, love, compassion, and heart. He gave real life examples of manners, not as the "point" of one show but consistently through EVERY show.
I blew up. I hopped on Amazon Prime and pulled out the vintage Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood episodes from when I was a child. They watched him come in and take off his suit coat, zip on his cardigan, and put on his sneakers to hang out with them for 30 minutes. Today Mr. Rogers went to buy shoes back in 1982. They didn't have the original kind he wanted but had another pair that fit far better. Then he went home and hung out with all the other characters for awhile. I'm currently curled up with my boys watching Mr. Rogers sing the ending song.
"It's such a good feeling, a very good feeling the feeling you know that I'll be back when the day is new and I'll have more ideas for you and you'll have things you'll want to talk about. I will too."
