Fantastic February!

We had so much to celebrate this month and I am feeling so grateful for good health, family and friends! Lana had her one year anniversary from her seizure, last February. I am happy to report that she has been seizure free since that awful day...still on medicine...but doing wonderfully! Lukey celebrated his fourth birthday with a batman blowout! And lastly, we celebrated my favorite holiday, VALENTINE'S DAY, with a fancy family dinner.

We stole the VDAY card idea (the top picture) from pineterst and hole punched holes on either side of the kid's hands and inserted a sucker. We used photo shop to edit and write on the picture.

The kid's and I made dad a VDAY tie that he is required to wear for every VDAY from here on out. :) It is a black tie with red and pink hand prints. We busted out the china, lit candles, dressed up, put on music and enjoyed a night of FUN! Valentine's day is such a great way to remind the people you love that you care about them. It really was one of the most special night's I've had yet...as a MOM! I hope everyone else enjoyed their special day. XOXOXOXOXOXO

Book Review

The book I am currently reading, Natural Healing Wisdom and Know How by Amy Rost is very intriguing. I will share some of my favorite finds on the blog. I would like to share a quote that I thought summed up my feelings on holistic health care:

"Conventional medicine excels in its treatment of catastrophic conditions, e.g., major bodily injury after a car accident, or removal of large cancerous growths. When the "big guns" are required, conventional medicine responds with reassuring aggression and swiftness. When a body requires ongoing treatment for a chronic illness, conventional medicine has little to offer."

Even though I blog about homeopathy, nutrition, supplements, etc, I see so much value in conventional medicine. In fact, I have seen conventional medicine save my own children THREE times. However, for chronic illness it is worth looking in to natural healing as another option. This book covers: Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Herbalisim, Essential Oils, Eastern Healing, Energy Healing, Nutrition, Supplements, etc.

Stay tuned for more to come......

BIG NEWS FROM THE KOVACHEVICH HOUSEHOLD:

After almost 6 years of buying diapers...I can't believe these words are coming out of my mouth...my last child is potty trained!!!! I am so happy I could scream. Our Costco bill has officially cut in HALF!

I would like to congratulate little Lana on a successful potty training boot camp, or as we like to call it....A Guza (Guza is rear end in Serbian) Palooza Party! (lovingly stolen from cousin Cameron, who also recently graduated to undies!) YAY LANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calendula Ointment is a miracle product for dry, chapped hands (or other body parts) in the winter. Apply before bed and you will see results in the morning. Be sure to get the ointment...the cream/gel does not work as well. I have seen so much success with homeopathy...I truly believe it works. I also used this for Luke's eczema and it worked beautifully.
