Froggies, Soup and Danny Kaye.....

Did you know Moms are magical? I know mine was. She had special powers... and apparently it is a gift passed down from generation to generation, through the women in my family (maybe yours too?).

Our house has been going through some tough times lately... little dust bunnies run rampant in all the remodeling debris ... then there are all these little tummy bugs and froggies jumping into everyone's throat! It is an awful bother to all who live here. Then I realized I needed to see if I too could be a magical mommy like my very own.

So I rummaged through my cupboards and found all the special ingredients to find what I needed to cure my little family...... Some broth, onions, garlic (lots of it!), celery, carrots, parsley, fresh oregano, one roasted chicken,

add some gnocci and VWALAH!! 

A brew so magical that all the little scary critters running rampant in the body have no choice but to leave!

As soon as she lifts the spoon it is practically instantaneous! 

Bippity Boppity Boo!

But that is not all....

Oh no.

There is more to do.

We must make some tea. 

In a perfect cup. 

With a drop of honey. 

mmmmmmmmm

And then... 

to take us to a place 

where we feel better 

we visit our friends,

Ginger and Fred...

and with Danny Kaye...he makes us giggle.

Then let Shirley charm us with her sweet smile...

but after awhile we

 walked down the yellow brick road with

 Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion

 until we realized there is

 no place like home...

(little girl's feet were all wore out from the walk 

so I had to rub them with my special ointment... a.k.a vicks)

Then lay our heads down 

 by the 'Light of the Silvery Moon'

Oh.... the funniest thing happens when we are ill...

time slows down and we make some of the most wonderful memories.

Some may even call them enchanting.

Maybe little bugs and critters are just trying to give us some balance?

 Hmmmm, maybe.

Be Well...

 I am also sending some magic to you.

XOXO
