Something blue…

This cute little blue suitcase caught my eye yesterday at the thrift store.  And begged me to take it home.  For a mere $0.99…this is the sort of thing I dream about stumbling across, but rarely do.

It's blue.  And small.  

I kind of love it.

Echinacea

My family has had a cold/flu virus for at least a month now. Since there are nine of us, it always takes a long time for a sickness to work its way through all of us.

One thing that we've been using to try to combat this sickness is echinacea tea. Echinacea may have been used by Native Americans to combat sickness and strengthen the immune system. It's also very yummy!

"Today, people use echinacea to shorten the duration of the common cold and flu and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever. Many herbalists also recommend echinacea to help boost the immune system and help the body fight infections."

Musical Monday is back!

Since I'm on Spring Break this week, I decided to revive the musical monday feature…at least for this week!

I've been listening to Pandora a lot recently. Somehow it helps me stay focused on my homework, and it's great for discovering new artists and songs! I have a station that has been playing music from the band Secret Garden, which is a Norwegian duo that plays beautiful folksy music.

This song, Dreamcatcher, features their beautiful piano and violin music.
