Homemade Soap and stuff...

Not homemade by me, though. Maybe one day? I hope, eventually, I will get brave enough to make it, myself. In the meantime... I found this! I wasn't even looking, but I still found it! These only just arrived, so I haven't tried them out, yet. They smell wonderful, though! Absolutely wonderful. They're supposed to be great for sensitive skin -- I can't wait to find out! They're homemade in Louisiana -- down south -- way down DEEeeeeep south! I just love how they packaged them! And look at the seal!
This is also made by them and THIS I can vouch for!!! I'm not sure if there's enough I could say about it! Again...the scent is just out of this world! You can choose any scent (they have MANY! scroll down to read what they "mean") but the moisturizing quality for sensitive skin is the best I've ever used! I'd read that the older you get, moisture starts to leave the skin, but until you experience it, those are just words! I get it, now -- I get it! This was quite a splurge for me. I'm usually VERY cheap (I mean frugal;*) If you want to check them out, their website is cottagegardentherapies.com
On another note, look what we grew! Isn't that exciting?!?!? We were just so tickled to have such a bounty! The first few (5 to be exact) we picked the other day and ate them raw. They were really good, raw. These, I fried in butter, today. Yep, butter. Just call me "Paula" (as in Deen!) There were too few to steam and they were starting to wither, so I fried them to go with the children's lunch. they said that they were really good. But like I've said before, "My babies are just really sweet!"
Before lunch, they found this in our pool and saved his little life! They saved a Robin a couple of weeks ago, and just yesterday, 2 blackbirds! Younger girl was laughing when she was telling us how she watched one "dive in" and "fuss" with her while she was trying to save it! The little kamikaze!
Y'all have a great day with your families, tomorrow and please, please stay safe! Remember our heroes -- pray for those who are still with us and praise God for all His many blessings!
God Bless America!

Many Blessings,
Julie

P.S. Just in case you didn't believe that I'm a nut -- turn up the volume and listen to Osama Yo Mama! Our son just looooooooves that song! My family encouraged me to put it on the playlist!
