The Reason Behind Why We Want to Share Shaklee with You

   Five years ago, our oldest daughter starting getting regular bladder and urinary track infections, dysfunctional elimination syndrome and reflux of the bladder. Her liver was only operating at 60%, she had kidney problems, as well as other health problems. We took her to seven different doctors, including top specialist’s at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indy, and she was on prescription medication continually for over four years, sometimes being on five different kinds of medication at the same time with no good results. We noticed that she didn't have the energy that other kids her age had. She suffered from depression, and seemed to be 'scatter brained'. She started to do poorly in school and simple little things seemed like big mountains to her. Even the doctors told us that the medication was causing more harm to her in the long run, but they didn’t know what else to do. That is when we decided to try using herbs and vitamins. In June 2010 we stopped all prescri

Book Review.....Money Secrets of the Amish by Lorilee Craker

Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without!  Money Secrets of the Amish  by: Lorilee Craker Finding True Abundance in Simplicity, Sharing, and Saving! rating: 5 Stars "Money Secrets of the Amish" by author Lorilee Craker, was a quick read. At first, I was a little bored, but by the time I got a few chapters in, I was really enjoying it and didn’t want to put the book down! What I love about this book isn't so much the information – there isn’t much that I don't already do - but I love the enthusiastic way in which the author shares it. Lorilee Craker hasn't just found ways to save money – her joy and excitement at the fun of it is all throughout the book. Originally, I chose this book because of my love for living the simple lifestyle. But, in these hard economic times, who couldn't use a little extra scratch at the end of the month? You're not going to find any truly mind boggling ideas or get rich quick schemes in the pages of this book, but you

Jewelry Hanger

                                                                I have a jewelry box that sits on top my dresser. It really isn't too bad looking......until you open the lid!  The part I've always disliked about a jewelry box was that the necklace's are always tangled and I can never find a matching pair of earrings!  I've been brain storming for a while about this, so finally decided to do something about it!  I found a plastic coated wire hanger, an old picture frame (minus the glass and backing) black spray paint and a piece of window screen. I painted the old picture frame black and let dry, then hot glued the screen to the back of it. I used wire cutters to cut the clothes hanger and bent it with a pair of pliers, so that the wire would bend around the back of the frame and hot glued them into place. (the large one at the bottom for the necklaces and the small at the top for anklets and bracelets)  I also cut the hook from the hanger to use to hang my
