Protection Bulb For Tree

A great way to protect your home during the Yule season is to get a clear, plastic or glass bulb filling it with protection herbs & oils. Empower the herbs and oils and hang on your tree.

Be sure to state the intentions of the bulb also.

I have heard that many use this for prosperity also during the Yule season.

Give it a try

Sprucing Up The Home

I have been sprucing up the house again since Thanksgiving. I have endless tubs of Yule decorations that could make a wonderful fort if put all together.

I have slowly but surely been decorating here and there but this week I need to get everything finished or pretty close to it as we are getting the tree on Friday so it will relax by Sunday which is our family tree trimming party!

I am really glad that I do not have to worry about cleaning any carpets as my home is tile all over. Super easy to clean with small children, messy adult children and a slew of animals that run in the mud!

Cleaning carpets would take so much time to schedule if I did have them especially if I needed carpet cleaning chapel hill nc area when the bad weather really hits there!

I will be very happy when everything is up and shining brightly around the house!

Yule Preparations

Can you believe that Yule will be here in less than 20 days? All I hear is the tick tock of the clock and the days whooshing by!

There are so many things left to do to prepare for. We have the special issue coming out and plus the normal individual plans for all the staff as well.
Jenny has taken one of the part time Food Service Assistant Jobs to help out with her Yule shopping so her communication may be a little slower than usual!

Yule is so exciting for everyone! Family and friends all getting together sharing a special time! Busy, busy days ahead until after the 1st!

Mystic Witch Yule Announcement

It's December and Mystic Witch is ready! They  have Yule Kits that are filled with wonderful items. In the kits you receive: oil, working, herbs and more! Everything that is needed for the Yule ritual.

Of course they also offer the Yule oil & incense separately.

Need a gift for a special friend and wish to find something unique? How about one of Mystic Witch's kits of the month? They offer  Spell Kits of the Month, Herb of the Month, Oil of the Month and so on. If you can't decide you can purchase all clubs for one low price!

Look for some seasonal sales in their store front just for Yule.

Hope everyone has an enchanting week!

Travelers Be Careful

With this being a holiday weekend we hope that all travelers are safe and sound coming and going to dinners and other festive parties. Remember not to drink and drive always having that designated driver if you need one.

Another thing to think about is it  might be a good time to make sure that if you are on the road a lot for the holidays is having a breakdown service just in case you get stuck or break down. Especially if there are a lot of storms in your area.

Whatever the case be alert and very careful on the roads!

Happy Thanksgiving!

OK, so we are a day early but since the office will be closed until Monday we figured that we should post this now!


One thing is for certain I think that everyone is excited about not only the big dinner ahead of us but the time off as well. I know that Donna will be seeing an allergy doctor austin on Friday due to the time off. So that is a good way to utilize the time that is for sure!

Everyone have a safe and happy holiday! See you all Monday!

Bundle Up, the Cold Is Here

It seems that the cold weather is starting to settle in or at least it is here.

Yesterday we had our first snow brushing and today is just plain cold! Yesterday while it was snowing my oldest decided that he wanted to see how his new ATV Tires would do in the snow. Since there was not that much and it did not stick I think it was just an excuse to ride it in the yard. haha

Since the cold weather is here it is time to start planning indoor craft jobs or stock up on a few good books! I have a Yule craft planned and of course my Kindle is jam packed with books to read in front of the fire!
