The trouble with letting a blog lie silent is that there is no catching up. With all my intentions of keeping up with both this and my new Women of the Harvest blog, *IRL In Real Life with Jamie Jo, it's just not happening.
Another website to help you piece together what I've been up to is Faith Hayes' blog, http://www.thehayeszoo.blogspot.com/ which I have referenced in the side bar. Faith is my chic, witty, hippie-wannabe friend who is keeping me young in spite of my 50th birthday coming up this Saturday.
I've got her in on my Kombucha Tea brewing, and in turn she has got me substituting olive oil with castor oil (3:1) for my expensive Clinique face soap. Together we attempted making coconut oil, which you can see and read about on her blog. After that disastrous but fun experiment, we spent an entire day in the city walking from one market to various health food-type shops, seeing what kind of organic produce is available. Yes, we are becoming quite the back-to-nature hippie girl missionaries.
All this I write with a perfectly straight face while sipping one of Bekah's famous NON-healthy "Bekahlocachocomocha" drinks. You see why I need Faith in my life?
Photos of Christmas and a recent trip to Nicaragua are on my Facebook page if you want to see them soon. Otherwise, I'll try to post a few here someday.
Again, sorry for the lag in communication. I'll try to send an email update soon for those who are on my list.
Welcome, friends! Thanks for visiting my blog. You can see it is a hodge podge of memories and lessons I've learned in life. Browse around, make yourself at home, and leave me a comment from time to time. Thanks!

Yay, glad for the update. Happy early Birthday!!! I just saw that ya'll are going to have a retreat for the missionary wives and I soooo with I could be there!!!! Also have been enjoying reading the Hayeszoo....one of my IRL friends who did Sonlight turned me on to their blog.
Hooray for the update! WElcome back!! And how come you didn't point us to the other blog sooner??? I have missed you!!! (in case Hannah & Faith didn't pass that on....)
Now following the other blog and glad to see you back.
Ahem - and the recipe for the famous "Bekahlocachocomocha" drinks? or do you have to have a Bekah...
I think you need a Bekah for the bekahlocachocomocha. Sorry about that. Basically I think it's ice cream, oreo cookies, coffee, and lots of different kinds of chocolate syrup and powder, topped with whipped cream and cute little sprinkles. It's her signature drink made in the Vitamix.
Happy early birthday! I'll look you up on FB. I think you and Faith are hilarious.
