Today

Please visit my other blog for today's post! www.brokenmome.blogspot.com. I started this blog in the hopes that I can reach out and help others that have suffered the loss of a child!! It is also a way for me to reflect on myself and my family as we have and continue to move down this path of recovery!

Don't Forget!

You have to check out this adorable new warmer I am selling on my scentsy site!! I do not want to use my blog to promote my Wickless candle business, but this little FELLOW is so adorable and has just come out as the warmer of the month!!
Back in 2000 we had 3 fires due to candles. After the fire department came to "visit" us a second time in 3 months, my husband and I decided candles with a flame were not going to work for us and our little family. So, much to my disappointment we eliminated them from our home. In 2007 my dear friend introduced me to this wonderful wickless candle company and it was love at first "scent" for me!! I have been selling it ever since. I LOVE IT!! Anyway, I just wanted to share this cute pic!! I thought it was so adorable and if you haven't ever had the chance to check out this product it is a really fun, safe way to decorate and make your home smell YUMMY!!!
