Blenders, tornados, and runny noses. Oh my.

We drink smoothies every day. Sometimes twice a day if we're feeling adventurous. Sometimes with protien powder sometimes with spinach maybe even kale. Almost always with chocolate. Sometimes Wy even has a few sips. We have (had) a kitchenaid blender and well, it just hasn't been cutting it lately. We've (I) have been subtly talking about getting a blendtec and well today was my lucky day. We got a gift card plus 20% off coupon and that baby is on its way to our home as we speak! I am super excited!! I can't wait to blend up!

We have been having some crazy weather here lately and by crazy I mean 30 degrees one day, 65 the next two back down to 40s throw in a tornado watch for 6 hours crazy rain storm and welcome to Louisiana! So needless to say Wy has gotten the worst runny one day stuffy the next nose. I've been pumping up the VitC, tea and Wys getting elderberry plus a humidifier with peppermint and some eucalyptus rub. So much better than all of the medicine crap doctors throw at you. We also have him seeing a chiro and that really helps when his ears start to bother him.

--Have I ever mentioned how much I love essential oils. Especially my doTERRA oils. I have tried a few different brands but so far these I love the most. --

As some of you know, we got "fired" from our pediatricians office. We really loved Wys doctor but we ran into a serious difference of opinion. We did not *gasp* get Wys 6 month vaccinations. I know a lot of people seem to have an issue with this and to those people I would like to say, do your research. Do not come at us with "doctors know best!" as your reason for "why we are wrong". If your doctor told you he was going to inject formaldehyde, mercury and diploid cells in you, you would would hold the phone! Why do you not give the same respect to your children? Because yeah, that's what is in the shots people. I'm not for, against, upside down or sideways about vaccinations I believe everyone has the right to make that choice for their children but I think you are ignorant if you do not do your research. I'll admit, when Wy was little we ended up at the doctor and hospital more times than I would like to admit ( major over-reactions) for... thrush and reflux. Yes, this my friends is the only illness my child has had. Still scared he's going to get your kid sick?

Basically the point of my last rant, is before you judge someone who is "different" than you, ask them, do some research. Maybe you will find out they are not as crazy as you think.
