howdy all

lifes crazy as always. Holidays are over! and trying to get back to a "normal" routine. funny I know! I was going over school stuff, what we have done so far this year. I was feeling stressed about it, though we were way behind where I wanted us to be, my usual. When I was going over it all I was shocked! We have done a lot! I have not posted near as much as usual, I am slacking! I am very happy with what the kids have done so far!
We built a volcano last week, lots of natural disaster talk going on! One of these days soon I want to make it to the Airplane museum in Wichita! Sir N is doing some amazing cooking these days! His spagettie is a hit, we cant get enough. I have the recipe to share with ya'll!
He made a Vegan chocolate cake that was soooooo good! Could not get enough! I was so amazed at how good the cake was. We had found a recipe for one, but did not like some of it, so by the time I got through changing it we had a totally different recipe than started out with. LOL! It was good! Examiner
Chubs has his first 2 adult teeth! He is very happy bout them! I was reading about children and getting teeth and ages to start reading and writing, recognizing alphabet. How a lot of children show no signs of readiness and then teeth come in and they are ready, usually around 7 years old. I was shocked when I was rolling what I had read round my head, and suddenly he is excited over teeth, and recognizing letters he had struggled with! I had been worried about him, catching things slower than the others did, he has caught on to different things over the last year but still worried me. Now all the sudden he is a sponge, soaking it all up and retaining it finally!
We have been talking and studying COB! I have wanted to build a cob home for years, I have my home designed. The kids are doing an architecture and we are adding COB building onto it. It will be a long study, we will do a lot come spring- Summer! Kids are talking a bench to sit on, BBQ/Fire pit, possible Gazebo if I am brave enough to let them attempt it! Several small projects being planned.
I have had some unexpected business inhterest sent my way. Not sure if it will do much, but would be nice if it did. I also did an interview on teaching math for another business. scroll down some to find it. Interview
Bubba had a birthday the 7th! He is growing so fast! it amazes me! Boo has one this week, he will be 17 years old! waaaaa
While setting small goals for myself has been something I try to do all the time, I usually dont make them public. But I have made a goal to be able to walk the Autism Walk in Wichita in April!
will post again soon! give you all time to read the links posted, share your thoughts, and consider a pledge for walking~

Love this pic and my disappearing pics

I love this picture! It always makes me think. Also I had not noticed my pictures are not showing anymore until pointed out to me today. So I have looked into why, photobucket changed some things and I guess it messed them all up. I will redo pics to put on here again. If there are any pics that you would like to see specifically again let me know so I can make sure to get them back up!
Is anyone watching the Winter Olympics? We have no TV here so I am missing them! First time in 16 years! I am going to try to fix it today so I can watch. We usually do a Unit for school on Olympics, but they snuck up on me this year, we may do a mini unit anyway- if I can find a way to watch some of the events! I love them! Oh also soon our home number will be changing! We are going to drop the line we have for a main number and use a different number. I will use my skype #, mom has one set up also, so those and cell will be main. This drops bills a significant amount. So if you do not have the numbers email me and I will get the 2 numbers to you. I am not shutting the other off yet, making sure I have it all set and working first.
Oh ya I met someone who ownes a store who will be carrying my product! It opens many doors for me! I am excited! I will be able to go to a few Renaissance Fairs and other festivals if it works out right! I am also gearing up to start selling at the Farmers Market and other places soon!
With The Narcolepsy and other issues I have I have been trying to find a schedule that works. I think we have it figured out on how to go about that finally! Hopefully it works, if it does it will make things easier for us all! I am also using Natural methods for the Narcolepsy, and I see Pain doc this week, requesting he remove my patch. I think I will do better with out it, my pain may get worse but it will open things for me to use more Natural methods for that as well. I managed for 15 years, I would like to get back to that again if possible, at the least I would like less pain meds and more Herbal control.
I have a few goals set- one specific I want to be able to walk 2 miles by April for the Autism Walk in Wichita!
I want to get back to working out daily- for at least 45 minutes a combo of Tai Chi, TTAP, and walking. Prefer over an hour but min of 45 min. No date set yet for this, trying to figure that out.
I want to run again, I miss it so much. So This is a 2 part
1st I want to be able to run again
2nd I want to run either a 5K, 10K or Marathon. I know it will take a long time to hit any of them. I have not yet set a goal date for this. I need to break it down to mini goals working to the biggie. I will let ya'll know when I have that done, and probably track progress here as well!
I have several E books and units, and courses available to purchase for kids, adults, home schoolers, individuals, groups, with my assistance- taught by me distance learning, and not. If interested in finding out more email me. I can sell as E Books, or print and 3 hole punch and mail to you. Prices vary. Eventually I will be able to bind them. 
Prices range from around $3.00 and up, if I ship it you pay shipping also. I charge actual cost nothing extra. If its a class I am staying involved in, teaching, leading the cost increases a little. If you do them as a group the cost can be split by members.
I am offering more consultations. With a big focus in Nutrition. I know many people think of nutrition and think of what they are eating, think they have a good balanced diet, or they think its horrid. This goes beyond the normal eat this food group so many times a day. I look at individuals, possible allergies, reactions, and so much more. With proper diet, nutrition, herbs and others our bodies can sometimes heal from a lot. If not heal at least improve! Reactions from foods are not always obvious. I have a son, Sir N who gets Horrid crack, bleed, eczema. When we finally figured out a cause- Dyes! If he eats or drinks food, candy or drinks with dyes he breaks out. Then I noticed attitude changes also. No dye no eczema and less attitude, dye eczema and more attitude! Lots of things happen that way! When I look at nutrition I also look at life style, drinks, sleep, exercise, and more. Possible vitamin and mineral needs, lots goes into it!
I have a flat rate and if you need I also have a payment plan. Depending on what you want. I have a main eval, I also have an ongoing Nutritional Healing thats a monthly payment, and I work with you for an unlimited time, to help on a long term basis. This is the most effective way, but not necessary. Email me if you want to know more either my personal email  or business email 

Next a few sites I am using these days to track things. I am tracking my pain, energy, all my symptoms and progress. patientslikeme

Have a great day!

Just to answer a few questions about business

So both my sites were down and when came back most of the info was gone! So I have help and am working hard to get them back up and running. In the mean time if anyone needs a service or product email me at ladyjae@essencethrutheages.com I am hoping to have them completed soon. You can go to Renaissance of Natural Healing now, Its not complete but it is up.
I am still filling orders and providing service. If you want to know more contact me. I can let you know more about services, cost, products whatever your interested in knowing.
For those that have asked to know more about my business I have 2. One is all natural products, soaps, cleaners, shampoo, hair spray and much more. There are natural healing products, lotions, creams and rubs for aches and pains, cuts, bites, burns, oatmeal baths, herbal baths, bath salts, and my own special bath mix like nothing you ever had! I have gift packs so much more.
If you are in need of something and dont see it listed, or if its before my site is up let me know I may be able to custom make for you. I do a lot of that. Let me know your needs and wants I may be able to help. I make more than I have listed.

My 2nd business is Natural Healing. I use a variety of methods. My focus in the beginning is Nutritional Healing, much more than diet and what you eat. I can work with clients far away due to phones, IM, email, web cam! If its something hands on you want, reflexology or something you need to be near but otherwise you can be away and I can help. I offer different packages and payment options. I specialize in Pregnancies, Nursing moms, Families, Special Needs like Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Pain control and pain causing illness, and much more. I offer family packages, individual and couples. I have a variety of offers.
I have low costs because I want all to get care when they need it. I do not want money to keep a person from seeking help. I have payment arrangements also. And unlike other places if you make payments I do not tack on a lot extra, I charge a small fee for each payment, aprox $5.00 each payment to cover the cost of each payment and paper work for me.
I do not furnish supplements and other stuff. If its something I sell on www.essencethrutheages.com you can get it from me, other wise I will give you my recomendations and you will need to purchase separately. I can give you places to buy, or I can purchase for you through my suppliers and sell it to you at my cost. I do get many discounts. So you would save money that way. Its up to each client. There are many things I make and sell on Essence Thru The Ages, some thats not on the site. So my clients should always ask if they are interested in buying from me, other wise you will need to go else where
Why do I do it that way? Well I do not want the 2 business's ran together, or for clients to feel I am pushing My product on them, or my customers to feel I am pushing them into being a client. So they are 2 business's, ran separate. www.renaissanceofnaturalhealing.com for Natural Healing.

I also have a promotional deal going. Any one thats interested can take part just email me
If you want to take part heres what we do
I send you flyers for one or both business, along with business cards, I put a code on then that is unique to every one doing it. You leave them all over. Keep them with you and leave them every where you go, if you talk to someone you think may be interested give them one. For every sale made due to your flyer you get your choice, money, discount on service or product, or save it and get free service or product. So if your interested in this let me know as well. I am working on sample packs to sell, that you will be able to purchase for a low cost. If interested in 1 let me know.

Aspergers- living under the umbrella~!

or in the umbrella, the whole crazy spectrum! I keep running into people with aspi children. I am amazed at how many are around, before my son was diagnosed I never noticed, now its everywhere! These awesome, loving children, who are thrust into a society that cant deal! Yes you saw that LOVING! I know most people think of autism or aspergers and think of children or people who do not want to be touched, and while that happens its not always the way it is. I have found my boys to be very loving, hug-able and caring! You have to give just the right pressure when hugging, not to soft not to hard. Also dont just grab either and hug them, ask first, or wait until they approach you! Thats the best, my 7 year old Sir N gives the greatest, tightest hugs! I love it!
I am always learning about my boys, the do's and dont's. They are always changing also. I am putting together a list of sites for aspergers and autism that are my favorites. For right now I am going to put them into a post all by themselves, until I decide how I want it done. I want them easily found. I think I am going to start blogging more about the adventures of being a mom to an aspie, and well all the other variety in my home! I do have a variety! We have aspergers, tourettes, a yet to be narrowed down tic disorder, ADHD, Bi-polar, depression, anxiety disorders,Agoraphobia, PTSD and then we get to the physical stuff! but for now I am focusing on the emotional stuff. With everything the kids have gone through in the past couple years they have a lot to eal with and process as kids. They are in therapy to help them learn how to process and deal. Its not always easy.
so for now here is a short list of sites I like to visit! Enjoy, get a glass of milk, bottle of water, or whatever you like to drink, kick back and read. Learn about these awesome people, who are thrown into a world that does not fit them, expected to change and fit in, and how you can help them accept who they are, and love them no matter what!
