Well…I had to do a modified version of the unplugged day.  Since my new art prints launched on Thursday,I did have to use the computer a little while.  But, I made some rules for the day.  First, I only had one hour for the whole day and no blog reading.

This challenge was hard for me!  I was at home, having a regular day, there were many times I wanted to use the computer.  It was a great check-up though…. I am more aware of how much time I’m spending on the computer now…which is a good thing!

How did it go for you?

By the way…I have some new ads up! Click on this button to see my new ad.

BABIES LOST TO ABORTION IN USA— 50+ MILLION

“In the past two hundred years, over one million Americans have died for their country. Monuments have been built and speeches have been delivered, honoring these American heroes. America is now engaged in a war where there are no heroes, no monuments or accolades – only victims. Our society has declared war on its most helpless members – our unborn children. Since that war was declared on January 22, 1973, there have been over 50 million deaths.”

This Sunday let’s pray:

For the babies of Mothers who feel trapped with no options

For the Mothers with arms and hearts empty from a decision they regret

For the scared teenager who’s boyfriend left her stranded

Let’s remember that most women have just believed a lie– that the life growing inside her is just “tissue”.

Being AGAINST abortion is not enough,  we also need to be FOR the Mother’s who are desperate and FOR their babies lives that hang in the balance.

If you listen to the news you hear a lot about flu and cold season.

So, I thought I’d share what has helped our family stay well.

When our babies were sick I would have given anything to make their pain go away.
So after suffering through a few colds, I had enough!

It was time to be on the offense.

I  found our there is  SO MUCH we can do to keep from getting sick!
Here are a few things I’ve learned over the years:

Sugar is public enemy number one.

Eating one teaspoon can lower the immune system up to     six hours.

Ever wonder why the flu season happens around the holidays?

Think about all of the pies, cakes, brownies, sugar cookies…

It’s hard not to eat sugar but it’s even harder to see your babies with what my daughter calls “booger nose”.

Enough said.

Over 80% of your immune system is located in the intestinal tract.

Help keep the digestive tract working well by taking  a good quality probiotic.

Peroxide is a wonderful helper in the fight against disease.

Bubble out your ears with peroxide.
(Just dip a cotton ball into the peroxide, lay on your side and use the cotton to drip peroxide  into your ear canal.
Wait until you hear it stop bubbling and then tip your head and pour it out.
It’s helpful to have a hand towel on the pillow.)

I do this whenever we have any symptoms and it really seems to help.  With little kids you can just take a cotton swab and dip it into the peroxide and gently put some into their ears.

If you are having a sore throat you can gargle with a mixture of  half water and half peroxide.

Wash your hands, eat healthy foods, get plenty of rest and STAY WELL!

I hope these things help your family too.  I’m not a doctor, so these are just tips from one Mom to another.  May your family stay healthy this winter!

“… I am the LORD that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26 KJV)
