All of a sudden things are a bit crazy around here! First, we celebrated my younger daughter’s 8th birthday on Thursday with a Minute to Win It Party. She had six friends come over and we set up a bunch of Minute to Win It games for them to play in the living room. Super fun! (I would show you photos, but our local network is down for maintenance so I can’t access them at the moment.)<\/p>\n

Then I had to get ready for the farmer’s market on Saturday. It rained\/sprinkled off and on all morning at the market. Fortunately I had just gotten my tent up when the first shower came through. It ended up being a decent selling day, despite the weather. The Soap of the Week is Banana Honey, and there are 7 left. I’ve been using one of the end pieces on my face this past week, and it feels really smooth and slippery. Not sure if it’s from the aloe vera juice that I used for the liquid, or from the banana, but the lather is super creamy and I love it! Even though I’m not a huge fan of using synthetic fragrance on my face…<\/p>\n

Now I’m getting ready to help out with a short youth retreat at our church. It starts tonight, and ends Tuesday afternoon, so hopefully I will be back on Wednesday with photos of the Pumpkin Pie soap. After that, it will be a mad dash to get ready for school to start on the 17th. I think the girls are ready. I know I’m ready to get back to a regular routine! <\/p>\n

Is everyone else feeling the rush right now too, or is it just me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
