I can't even begin to stress this enough, DO NOT GET THIS IMMUNIZATION, Especially do not let your children get it. This "flu" was engineered by the government and the Pharma industry, I truly feel that we would be total sheep to allow them to shoot us full of God knows what, and to what end. They have lied about the origins, the death count, and the end game from the beginning of this 'flu'.
They are doing test trials at this point in the game, and part of these trials are on children in Australia, need I remind you of the death toll from m the Gardisil "vaccine". New Immunizations are deadly, it's all about $$$$$$$, big Parma is looking to get your $$$$$$ in any way that they can, scare tactics, and misinformation abound. Please do some research before you allow anyone to stick a needle into your body, and the damage that can be done to small children and babies has been in my experience irreversible and deadly!
What is inside Vaccinations? Hum lets see, aborted fetus', live virus, mercury, and with this swine flu, SWINE! Anyone who has an ear please hear. Research before you submit to a mass vaccination, research before you allow them to turn you into a sheeple.........
Please watch this 60 minute report for the late 70's, you will understand just how deadly this business is.

Water Kefir, what is it? Basic Recipe.
For those who haven't heard of Kefir before, like me only a year ago. I will try to explain what it is and why it's an awesome addition to any diet. Kefir is a yummy, sweet carbonated soda like, healthy wonder.Water Kefir has been around for centuries, I have read many accounts where children in mountains somewhere in the east drank mostly Kefir and lived to be over 100 years old on average. The simple description is that Kefir is a mix of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that are held together, and feed off of cane sugar, and sugar from fruits. Technically water kefir is usually made up of Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc bacteria with yeasts from Saccharomyces, Candida, Kloeckera and possibly others. In my research I have found that all of these living organisms help you to have a healthy gut along with many other health benefits
.I have found that these little guys are like a life tonic, I have more energy and my gut seems to be in much better shape when drinking Kefir daily, not to mention how nuts' the kids get when I make a new batch. .
It is very simple to prepare Kefir, what you will need:
1 Quart wide mouth jar
1/2 Lemon
1/2 Cup Brown Cane Sugar (kefir grains don't seem to like beet sugar) Or Succanat (unprocessed cane suger)
1/3 Cup Kefir Grains
Dried Fruit (I like to use organic figs as my dried fruit, but prunes, or raisins work great as well.)
Good water (Kefir Grains hate chlorine, so don't use city tap water)
Wash your jar, then add your kefir grains, brown sugar, lemon (just toss it in), 2 figs or prunes or a small hand full of raisins. Fill your jar with good water until the rim, give it a bit of head space so the carbonation doesn't break the jar. Put a cap on the jar, give it a shake and your off.
A couple of times a day give the jar a shake or stir, and then unscrew the lid a bit to let off the pressure. Your Kefir drink should be ready within 24 to 48 hours, just taste it at 5 hours intervals to see when you like the taste.
If you let it go to long then it will taste alcoholic, since the Kefir grains eat the sugar, and give off bubbles, the longer it goes the less sweet it is.
When you reach the flavor you want, just drain your drink through a mesh strainer, squeeze the lemon into it, and enjoy!
Rinse your grains and start a new batch, you can reuse the dried fruit for a few batches. If you don't like the flavor of the plain batch then add it to some juice, or iced tea... Yum!
Purchasing Kefir is fairly easy, the Internet is awesome and you can even get some on e bay now. The best part about Water Kefir Grains, they multiply... if you feed them well and take care of them, they will multiply and grow. Soon all your friends and family will have grains you have given them. After you have given grains to everyone you know you can eat them, my mother in law puts them in her cottage cheese, and other foods. She feels like a new woman.
What's all the hipe about Buckwheat pillows?
I have never in my life paid so much for something that is in its self a by-product. The fact that anyone would pay $80.00 for a pillow who's outer material is simple cotton, and who's inner filling is what is left over after they hull buckwheat, has never really made any sense to me.
There are many awesome benefits to using these pillows though, firstly they are awesome comfortable.... Think memory foam, only all natural, and non toxic. I have also read in several places that Buckwheat are non allergenic. My two asthma kids have no issues with their pillows now, and they sleep very comfortably. Buckwheat breathes, if you make the pillow out of cotton, and use a cotton pillow case, you will never wake up sweaty
again, the pillow wicks moisture from you, and it seems that dust mites don't like them.
So after researching buckwheat pillows and why on the web, I decided it was in my best interest to just make one for myself. Now finding your buckwheat hulls is another story. Since they are all the rage right now be careful about just ordering them from the Internet, since you will most likely get over charged. I order mine through my favorite health food store in town. The owner orders huge 50 lbs sacks for me, and when I say huge I
mean it. The hulls themselves are very light weight, so 50 lbs is a lot.
Then I take a a pillow case and I cut my material roughly the size of the pillow case. Sew the seems at 5/8 of and inch, but leave yourself a hole roughly the size of a glass at the end (so you can put your hulls in. Then turn it right side out. I like to stitch a second seem on the outside as well,, better safe then sorry. Spilled buckwheat hulls
are a nightmare to clean up.
After you have the case sewn then use a simple canning funnel to pour your hulls in. I like mine to weigh about 4 1/2 to 5 lbs, and the cool thing is that you can reopen it and add more or take some out to suit your likes. I like to weigh mine with a fish scale (very inexpensive), then close up your hole, and
Voila` you have a buckwheat pillow that sells for WAY too much money and it cost you literally a few dollars to make.
A few hint's instead of buying new material for your cover, just cut up a favorite old sheet, since you will definitely put a pillow case over your pillow to protect it, who cares what the cover looks like. Just in case you haven't noticed there is a lot of buzz about Lavender lately, and I can say that it's right on. I make tea from Lavender flowers at night to relax me, I put Lavender Essential oil in my baths and I put satchels of lavender in my buckwheat pillows. The smell is subtle and it is so relaxing to breath deep the sent of calming Lavender before I close my eyes at night. Next time I make one for myself, I am going to put Chamomile in there as well.
Have fun, and perfection is not the purpose, the purpose is a comfortable, healthy, supportive pillow that will last you for years.

Home Gym for $100.00?
Yes you can have a home gym for around $100! I have a few helpful tips for the mom's or anyone for that manner who would love to have a gym membership but cant afford it. Afford the time or the money, I know that with 5 kids and 5 paper routes I don't have 5 extra minutes to go work out anywhere, and on top of that I also, due to the 5 kids and routes don't have 2 extra pennies to tub together. But, I have found that since I stopped working (outside the home) and smoking, that I am holding onto like 50 extra pounds that are stuck to me like glue.
Well, my husband of course does not care about the weight, but it drives me crazy. I have a terrible time looking in the mirror and not seeing that fit 18 year old that lives in my head. So I decided to do something about it. I have tons of workout tapes, everything from Yoga to Latin Dancing, but if you are like me, working out to a tape with kids crawling all over you is not something that works well. So the tapes sit unused, except for my teenager who loves doing them (she's a show off!). So what other options do I have? Walking, which I try to do as often as I can, but the time constrants make it tough to fit a walk in everyday. So that leaves a home gym.
Being on the monetarily challenged side it took me a few months to get it together, and nothing I have is new (except my rebounder), my trick it THRIFT STORES, you go into any thrift store and you will find work out equipment. I have found things that cost $100 new, but I got them for $14.99. I have 5 pieces in my "Nintendo" room and I got it all for right around $100.
I have a exercise bike, a health rider, The Red, a rebounder. several weights, a yoga ball and work out bands. Plenty of items to have a great workout, whenever I want. Now sure sometimes it sits for a couple of weeks but the kids love having it, and being schooled at home, it's easy to want to stay inside, but they have a blast working out on the gym equipment.
I suggest just budgeting $20 a month, if you can afford it, or less if needs be, but carry your gym fund with you. Then when you see a piece at t a yard sell (bargain it down) or at a thrift store (don't forget to get on it and make sure it is in good working order), then you can buy it and start your Gym.
If space is an issue, then put one piece in every room, then make a circuit, the kids love working out with mom, and think of the awesome habits you are instiling in them. I believe that we need to get our heart rates up a bit once a dayat least, and breaking a sweat is the best thing you can do to clean out an an over toxic system. Jumping on a rebounder (mini trampoline) for up to 10 minutes a day keeps your lymph system running at an optimal clip. And if you are pregnant it is imperative that you get exercise daily, it will help you sleep and get rid of morning sickness.
Happy hunting, and please let me know what you find.

MUST read Books!!!!
Here are a list of books that I think are important for every woman, parent or believer to read, I will give you a link to each one on Amazon, but please try e-bay, or your local library!
Complete Jewish Bible I love this version of the Bible. You get a real Hebraic feel, and can see a more accurate accounting of names and Yahweh's feasts and festivals. The only complaint I have is that the translator did not use our God's true name, he followed the Jewish tradition of not using the true name of God, I suppose it was to keep from misusing it.
Nourishing Traditions I LOVE THIS BOOK! What a blessing Sally Fallon is. This book, which is technically a cook book, has opened my eyes to a way of life and cooking that has been lost for decades. I don't like the shellfish recipes, as I eat kosher. But everything else is amazing. It will do every mom good to get this book, read it, learn it and implement it. Not everything will sound good to you, but work with the recipes and tweak them to suit you and your families taste.
Unassisted Childbirth This author changed my life. Laura Shanley is a pioneer of the Freebirth (Unassisted Childbirth) Movement. Her book gives you no nonsense information on how to have a home birth, and why it is important. I feel that you absolutely have to read this if you are planning a home birth. Even if you are planning to have a midwife, there is always a chance that she wont make it on time, so the knowledge you glean from this book will be power for you and your family.
Created To Be His Help-Meet What an amazing eye opening read this was for me. I feel that all women should read this book, take what you like and leave the rest. You will be able to figure your man out, and understand what he needs to be happy, and then how amazing is it that you will be happy as well. My marriage was transformed by this book. Please Please Please, read this if you are married or plan to be married.
To Train Up A Child If you are having any issues with your children this book will save you. I always had a hard time figuring out what I was doing wrong with my children, I loved them a ton, I protected them from everything, and I didn't spank them. Funny how they were just about out of control. Talked back, didn't listen, fought with each other and just about drove us NUTS!
Then a friend of mine turned me on to this book, and our lives are peaceful and awesome. The number one thing that children need, BOUNDARIES! This short book will give you all the tools, that with God's help will transform your household, and create loving and respectful children.
On The Questions Of Jesus I received this book free of charge at an awesome event I attended put on by Michael Rood Ministries. The Author and his wife were at the event and she gave me this book, as I didn't have money to purchase it. It has been a complete blessing to me. Don, has combed through the New Testament and asked all the questions that Yahshua asked, and then gives you some wonderful in site into how it applies to our lives. I love to read one a day and pray and meditate on it. I truly feel that Yahweh is working with this author, if you are blessed enough to find a copy of this book, you will be a happy believer.
The Unschooling Handbook Wow! If you are wondering what Unschool is, this is the place to go. I know that I struggled with the concept for years until I read this book. The author puts unschool into sharp perspective but quoting family's all over the country, they give their ideas and typical days. You will get a full picture of how to introduce learning opportunities for you children, what to watch out for. It's very helpful for parents who are trying to shake this western Greek idea of education and how children need to be 'exposed' to an education rather then taking it for them selves.
Wise Woman Herbal For The Child Bearing Year One of my best friends is a Lay Midwife. She told me about this book, and I am so impressed. This author gives you a no nonsense list of Herbs, that are essential for us a women to have in our daily diets, to support healthy cycles, ovulation and pregnancy. There are several pages on breastfeeding and postpartum issues. The only problem I have with this book is that in the beginning there are herbs listed to help with a 'natural' abortion, and herbs that will make you sterile. I personally don't think that those things are ok. But to each his own.
How To Raise A Healthy Child: In Spite Of Your Doctor The title says it all. I have stopped taking my children to the Dr. for everything, and only for the really big issues. You NEED to read this book. Very informative!

My house is killing me!
A book, By Jeffery C. May.
I have been reading this book for the last few days, and may I say Oh My Gosh! I knew that there were allergens in all of our homes, but I truly had no idea the extent of the damage that is being done every minute of every day to our health. And if you happen to have a child or two which is my case, with Asthma, I strongly suggest that you get this book and read it. Jeffery May, tells you all about the little pests that are invading our lives, why and how to eliminate them. I myself am now trying to work up the nerve to ask my landlord to replace the carpet with anything but carpet, not sure how he is going to take it, but it's worth a try.
The number one important action that needs to be taken, PETS! I know that we love our pets and they mean the world to us, but honestly let me ask you a question, who do you love more Fido, or your child? And yes I know that there will be kicking and screaming, kids love their furry friends, but unfortunately pet dander is one of the main allergies that children with Asthma share in common. It is so important for us to put their health first, 5000 children die a year in this country from Asthma! That number is heart stopping to me, the thought of one of my amazing children dieing from a disease that can be managed better then it currently is, horrifies me.
That being said, I am now looking for homes for our cat and dog. My daughter is wanting a lizard or a snake (OY VEY) to replace them, but that will have to be decided later. For now baby steps, and trying to clean up my already clean house. And suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
