One of our newest scents: the warm, feminine, and sophisticated White Ginger and Amber. So far it is being offered in our special Bath Salt blend and our Linen & Body Spray. We will soon be offering it in lotion and ooooh, how about a Sugar Scrub???
It is fantastic!
It is hard not to have a GLADHEART when this is your backyard…
This is the view from atop our hill.
Sweet Hannah took this picture, it is one of my favorites, I love the look of the lacey tree leaves against the snowcapped backdrop.
Another look at our amazing view.
“Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.” ~ Psalm 63:4
Hmmmm… I think today will be the quintessential summer lazy day (yes, I do know the calendar does not say summer yet, however it is supposed to be 76* today and the sun is shining, in Alaska that IS summer)… Got the girls off to Friday Fling (our local Farmer’s Market in downtown Palmer), beds are made, bathroom wiped down, floor vacuumed, and so forth. Hannah is the laundry girl today and the wash machine is whirring away. I know we are a large family but really, how can we ever keep up with the mountains of laundry we generate? Today, in addition to the normal clothing and bedding, we have blankets to launder. Blankets from a picnic last week, playing house in the woods, blankets, blankets, blankets. I have a few orders to box up and ship, a book to read to little Miss Sassafras (age 4), but that is about it. Not even dinner to cook, we are having a treat: pizza.
So today will be a lazy day spent dreaming (think Gladheart !) and sipping organic iced tea (try Newman’s Own Royal Tea). Perfect.

There is no love like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth
Like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time
And when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one
For all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on
Through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love
From the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.
Happy Mother’s Day
