Eucalyptus is another herb I really like to have around the house, especially this time of year. It is so good for colds and stuffy noses. I am prone to sinus infections so I like to keep a bottle of eucalyptus essential oil on hand. When my nose is stuffy due to allergies or a [...]

I put the final touches on the hat I made for Princess A yesterday. I actually finished knitting it about a week and a half ago but I still needed to make a pom-pom for it and weave in the ends. I don’t know why but for some reason I can get lazy when it [...]
