My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family.

I'll be updating periodically. Here goes!! Family Movies: The Hiding Place *The Last Sin Eater The Ultimate Gift *The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry Flywheel *Saving Sarah Cain Letters to God - this is a tear gripper!

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids. If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would. For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher. I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags. If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea. I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days. Below are some benefits of each of these teas. Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant. Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Pepper...
