Just a Daisy in the Meadow

Okay . . . we look kinda old and tired, but . . . this is us.

Just a quick note to say what has been the greatest blessing these past few weeks!!!

Our newborn has had colic( been extremely fussy in the evening with gas\stomach pains until the wee hours of the morning at times) . . . All of our children have been this way . . . this time I was just extra frustrated and desperate, I guess, due to more children equaling  more laundry, more squabbles, and more mess . . .

Anyway, a few ladies had mentioned staying of milk\dairy products . . . and I’m still not totally sure cause I never actually got that far to trying it . . .

But one friend found that if she took Magnesium and Selenium she didn’t really have to worry about milk\dairy stuff anymore.

So right away I called my husband at work and he brought me home some Selenium (I was already taking Mag.) and I stopped drinking milk from a glass (though didn’t worry about dairy any other way) and just in a matter of two-three days we had a happy contented baby once again!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!

So I just had to share this . . . if ever it might help some other mother\baby\family out there . . . it affects the whole family in some way or another

“Prayers and Peanut Butter” by Barbara Classen is one of the best “Mom” books out there!!!  I’m almost to the back cover . . .   Love it!!!  Lots of understanding\sympathy, inspiration, challenges  and good child training tips and advice.

Vision Publishers have it if you are interested.  They told us yesterday that someone will order one and then about a week later call back and order a case (10), which is what I’m contemplating about doing . . . Just want to pass it out to all young or not so young moms who are in the same stage of life as I am right now!   www.vision-publishers.com  There’s my advertising for the day!

Just needing to hear this myself, when I look at my house these days . .  

Doubt sees the obstacles; faith sees the way.

Doubt sees the darkest night; faith sees the day.

Doubt dreads to take a step; faith soars on high.

Doubt questions, “Who believes?”

Faith answers, “I.”
