    Brr! This is way to cold for me! I had to go to Los Angeles today and it was 85. I hear that Las Vegas {my home} is supposed to be 90 this weekend.

I was an Amway brat.  My parents were successful Amway distributers for many years, and we used Amway products extensively in our home.  They were good products.  Their laundry products worked well, and were a good value because they were so concentrated.  Best of all, they didn't irritate sensitive skin.  Because I have extremely sensitive skin, I've continued using Amway laundry products for most of my adult life - until recently.  I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but Amway began adding fragrance to their laundry products.  Since I can't stand wearing perfumed clothing, I started using fragrance free laundry products from the grocery store. Finding fragrance free laundry detergent and fabric softener from the store has been easy.  There are several available. There is one Amway product, however, that my family wasn't willing to give up:  Trizyme.  It's an enzyme laundry booster and one of Laura's favorite lau...

Crochet Kindle Case Tutorial

My wonderful husband gave me a Kindle e-reader for my birthday last month. I love to read and am enjoying having an e-reader. I like to carry it in my purse, but wanted it to be protected, so I made a cover for it. Here’s how: 1. Using cotton (Sugar & Cream weight) yarn and a size K crochet hook, chain 26. 2. Beginning with the second chain from hook, single crochet in each chain stitch to end. This should now be a half-inch longer than the height of the Kindle. 3. Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each single crochet. Repeat this step until the piece is twice the width of the Kindle plus three inches. Bind off. 4. Lay Kindle on piece about three inches from one end.   Fold other end over Kindle. Adjust so that Kindle is completely covered and edge of piece matches side edge of Kindle.                            ...

Losing a Baby

People have asked, “Do you only have the one child?”  The question sometimes leaves me feeling as though I’m in some way lacking, like I didn’t finish the job.   I’ve even occasionally heard the comment, “So, she’s an only child”, which makes me think of the negative implication attached to being an “only child.”  Fred and I wanted to have more children, but sometimes we don’t get everything we want in life. I have been pregnant four times.  Three of those pregnancies ended in miscarriages.  This isn’t something I talk about and not something people ask about.  It’s generally understood to be one of those topics we all avoid.  Discussing miscarriage makes people uncomfortable. The pain of losing these unborn children has lessened over time.  It sits in the back of my heart, the pain just a smaller shadow of what it once was.  When our heartbreaking losses were still fresh, I wondered when, or if, the pain would ever go away...
