Dreft Laundry Stain Remover #Amazinghood

126

Got Grandchildren? Then you got stains. I like to send my grandchildren home they way they came, dressed in clean clothing.  So I was very happy to find that the Dreft Portable Pretreater Pen safely treats stains and odors caused by milk,  food, diaper leaks and more. The stain remover is safe for all colorfast fabrics, works in all temperatures, and does not harm the flame resistance of children’s sleepwear, for those wonderful sleepovers 🙂

Breathe Easy Dry Salt Therapy #SaltyYoga #BreatheEasy

Breathing is something we do 24/7, without even thinking about it.

We breathe nearly 25,000 times during a normal day.  Our lungs breathe in gases, floating bacteria, and viruses that surround us daily.  Breathe Easy  offers a dry salt therapy for adults and children to detoxify their lungs and skin  to promote better breathing, sounder sleep and overall wellness and can help to improve the symptoms of allergies, asthma, snoring, sleep apnea and so much more.

Breathe Easy Salt Room Of the Earth offers luxurious Himalayan salt rooms and salt beds are as beautiful as they are therapeutic.

Groovinmoms had the pleasure of experiencing the Breathe Easy Salt Room.  20110218-IMG_4536We took  off our shoes and walked on a  floor of Himalayan Pink Salt.

Liz made herself  comfortable in the beach chair, or should I say breathe easy chair.  20141025_111419 (1) As we sat in the salt room we learned all about the health benefits of salt therapy and enjoyed the soothing atmosphere of the salty air which began to work its magic on us.  Liz and I began to realize that our almost always clogged sinuses had opened up while we sat in this beautiful salt room.  Just like that our breathing was made easy.

Breathe Easy also offers therapeutic salt beds.  215039_470054299702791_200875096_nThe salt beds are heated and  private.  The salt beds help treat skin issues like psoriasis, eczema and dry skin with the salt’s natural anti-inflammatory and healing properties.

We had a wonderful experience at Breathe Easy.

Breathe Easy also offers  Salty Yoga. The use of salt chambers for practicing yoga reaps numerous benefits!  Dry Salt Therapy, formally known as ‘Halotherapy,’  accompanied by deep breathing techniques helps reduce the energy breathing requires, decrease oxygen demand, and strengthens the diaphragm.  Breathe Easy’s Salty Yoga can drastically improve one’s overall survival and quality of life.  20141025_112636

 

It’s nice to know that when you experience Breathe Easy you can Breathe Easy!

O Christmas Tree #Christmas #Elf

Decorating a Christmas tree can be a tedious event but when the grand children come to help grandma it becomes a JOYOUS tradition.  My husband Bill is the one who puts the tree together and it’s the grand kids who decorate the tree.

When the grand kids arrive they are always  excited and follow my directions.  However, this is short lived.  It doesn’t take long before they wander away and start entertaining themselves with other things.19-362471

I tell you it is never easy decorating the tree with the two of them, especially Christian.  My grandson would take out the ornaments and want to keep the ones he liked.

Christian would always try to make a deal with me.  “Nana,” he said, ” I will give you all the tree ornaments that people gave me if you give me R2D2, Darth Vadar, Batman, and the Jets football ornament.”  I just love the way he tries to make a deal, every year.  Of course the answer is always, No!  He is just to adorable.  2006ABMississippiLoveseat

Then he finds Elf…and the main event is the Elf…Christmas is here!!!
