When I post photo's of myself on Facebook, oft times friends from high school comment that I look like I haven't aged a bit. Well, my body knows I'm aging, however I am doing my best to make sure my face doesn't change that much, LOL.  I don't know if I necessarily have a secret, I try to eat natural and organic foods as often as possible. I do not drink soda nor do I smoke or do any drugs, legal or illegal. I do my best to drink as much water as possible and I rarely wash my face with soap. I actually was my face with Oil, yes Oil. I use a mixture of castor oil and I can't remember if I added sunflower or grapeseed oil, but I think it's working. My face seems soft and I don't need to apply any moisturizer; the area around my eyes is extremely sensitive, so whenever I applied any time of moisturizer, if I got too close, I ended up being teary-eyed for the rest of the day. This issue is also why I can not receive facials.  I use witch hazel with a few

Six years ago, I went in for a scheduled C-Section to meet my First daughter to be named Olivia Camille Walker.. She came at 9:46 am weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz and 19.7 inches long, I was Shocked.. I just knew she was going to be at least 8 lbs because my Belly was HUGE...But that's another story... Olivia is named after my Grandmother, Olivia Augusta Greenwood who died in 1999 well before my Princess was even thought of.. So she only has memories of her namesake, but memories and photo's will sustain her. Olivia actually has always been a favorite name of mine and I honestly didn't realize how popular the name was when my Olivia was born. Olivia has remained in the Top 10 Girls Names since, I believe 2000. But luckily my Olivia has not been in a class where she had to share her name. Here are a few other women and girls who sold me on the name Olivia. Olivia Hussey as Juliet in the 1968 Movie: Romeo and Juliet Olivia Newton-John as Sandy in Grease

Ernest Everett Just was born August 14, 1883 in Charleston, South Carolina, he was a pioneering Biologist, Academic and Science Writer. His primary legacy is in his recognition of the fundamental role of the cell surface in the development of organisms. In his work within marine biology, cytology and parthenogenesis, he advocated the study of whole cells under normal conditions rather than simply breaking them apart in a laboratory setting. When Just was young he became dreadfully sick for 6 weeks with typhoid fever. He had a hard time recuperation as his memory was greatly affected. While he had been lauded for learning so much at a young age, he now had to relearn everything. His mother worked with him but became impatient and gave up on him. He persevered and finally read by himself, however he kept the information from his mother for a month because he felt betrayed by her when she had given up on him and stopped teaching him to read.   He was sent to an all black boar

It's no secret that I sew. I learned to sew when I was in 7th grade, thanks Mrs. Williams and I fell in Love. I took Clothing 1 and 2 in High School and even made myself A Prom Dress and a dress for my high school graduation.  I purchased my first sewing machine when I was around 25 from Spiegel (it took me forever to pay it off, LOL). My current machine was purchased on sale at Target. I definitely want a second machine and a serger, but that's another story. Well my children are fascinated when I start sewing, so when I saw this post:   http://www.skiptomylou.org/2013/03/07/how-to-sew-a-headband-kids-sewing-project/  I knew I could work with my 3 youngest and let them get some practice with the Sewing Machine. Check out the photo's of Olivia, Charlotte and Dusty and their first sewing project: Headbands.. They had a good time. Olivia was rather apprehensive, Charlotte was very easy to work with and Dusty really wanted to learn and he did it mostly all by himself. We
