• I Didn’t Realize………

    Moving boxes

    This morning it really hit home how much time I have on my hands now. Alice is in school until 2:30. Mom doesn’t need me anymore. I have the entire morning to……. ummm pack? That’s all?? Just pack?! And clean?? I can’t do it. I need the release that writing my blog posts gives me. It’s more like writing to my friends and telling you about my day. Today I am wondering where my energy will come from to start packing again?! I packed a little before Thanksgiving. Then the fires came way to close for comfort so we were in the ‘get ready to evacuate’ area so I hurriedly…

    When I am bored and really don’t feel like writing I waste time interacting with Alexa. I interact with Alexa just see what she says. I told her I was sick today (yes, STILL!!) she said “I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well; try a cup of tea or a nap. I hope you are feeling better soon” She has about a dozen nice things to say when you are sick…. isn’t she so sweet?!     So, here are my top 10 things to ask Alexa. Alexa: Do you have any pets?

    I’m going to try and get back into the swing of things here on Peanut Butter and Whine. I have to be truthful here if it hadn’t been for Jamie stepping in for me there wouldn’t have been anything the last week. I just didn’t have it in me. I am so thankful she is part of my support group. I for one have taken her up on the Young Living Oils. I need some de-stressing and a happiness blends desperately. I will keep in the loop about how it goes once the oils arrive. For now I’m learning there are a lot of things that I never thought of…

    It's monday meme

    I hope you are doing exactly what you want today!! So, here I am sitting here getting my Sunday post already when I go to the calendar and for the date and realize it’s actually MONDAY!!!! I have no SENSE of time yet!!! Sooooooooo happy Monday instead!! Let’s Ask Google To Swing Around Here Again Every so often I grab a giant digital dust rag and wander through PeanutButterAndWhine.com, polishing up my older posts like antique teacups at a yard sale. Updating old content isn’t just housekeeping, it’s pure SEO sparkle. Fresh keywords, tighter titles, faster images, better links. All the little tweaks that whisper sweet nothings to Google and…

  • Here We Are Talking Oils Again. I Know……..

    Young Living Oils

    I just realized I had not exactly touched on what it takes to get started with Young Living? There are a few ways….but the premium starter kit is my favorite way. Below are a few reasons that I talk about it over and over. Because, I know people have a lot of reservations about oils – the price (which if I knew then, what I knew now, and you told me the price was ten times what it is – I would HAPPILY hand you all my money. It is worth it’s weight in gold.) But I get it can be overwhelming or scary. I get it, I was right…
