<i><br /></i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Having both children and dogs, I am bound to learn a lot of life's lessons. Namely: unattended butter is bound to attract puppy nose prints or be smeared on the table. As my children have grown into a teenager and one just three months shy of being a teenager, I've realized lessons learned from older children are complex, ambiguous and hard to pinpoint. Lessons learned from dogs, however, are plain and simple with none of the ambivalence of adolescence. So today at least, I am focusing on lessons learned from my dogs.</div>
<br />
<b>See the Good in Those Around You. Love Unconditionally.</b><br />
Dogs are pretty motivated by food and we feed our dogs, so of course, we're off on the right paw. Some animal behaviorists will argue it's all about the food. I beg to differ. Aside from finding a dead bird in the yard, we are our dogs' everything. They greet us with wagging tails and goofy smiles. They don't care that if our hair doesn't look just right, if the house isn't perfect, if we loose our tempers on a bad day, or even if we put them outside or in a room by themselves when dog-shy company comes over. They ask no explanation, demand no apology, and wag their tails with delight when we reunite, grateful to be let in again without holding a grudge. Chalk it up to short-term doggie memory, but how much better would our lives be if we all had short-term memories when it comes to seeing the good in the people around us?<br />
<br />
<b>Be Curious.</b><br />
We could learn a few lessons about constantly digging, sniffing, and watching. How much more aware would we be of others' needs? How much more could we learn and experience just by being more in-tune with our senses?<br />
<br />
When we brought our youngest child (now six) home from the hospital, Molly intently sniffed the blanket-covered baby carrier as I walked down the hall. She sniffed with such interest that she ran into a wall as she was walking alongside me! <br />
<br />
I'm told dogs never forget a scent. If that's true, during that moment, Karlee's scent left an indelible mark on Molly, and the two have grown together.<br />
<br />
<b>Be There for Your Friends.</b><br />
Despite the fact we had to watch Karlee carefully around Molly so she wasn't knocked down by Molly's powerful tail, they have become great friends and co-conspirators while the big kids were at school. Molly has played games from Candy Land to dress-ups--all with patience. But the relationship has never been one-sided. Karlee, until just recently, would surreptitiously let Molly outside the front door to allow her to run up and down the street unattended.<br />
<br />
Unless, of course, they've been let out, dogs are there for you when you want to walk, when you want to sit, and always ready for a trip in the car. For some reason, they never make plans other than you.<br />
<br />
<b>Celebrate the Moment.</b><br />
How many times have we missed out on moments because we're worried about yesterday or tomorrow? Call it a limitation, but dogs don't let cluttered schedules take away from the now: a friend's return home, a slightly dry biscuit, a walk outside, deep snow, a pat on the back, are all luxuries to relish. <br />

<i>If you're spraying something other than For Every Home's patented OAM Spray, chances are you're spraying harmful chemicals--possibly even nerve agents into your air. OAM is plant-based and natural with out the harmful chemicals and nerve agents of the leading brands. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>OAM Sprays and OAM Gels eliminate odors better than the leading brands without putting harmful chemicals into your air.</i></div>
<br />
That's what the latest 2013 FOR EVERY HOME catalog proclaims. <br />
<br />
I, for one, believe it word for word. That might be because I am the one who wrote the copy.<br />
<br />
It is important for me to be honest. Not only as a Marketing Writer but also as an Independent Consultant with For Every Home. I've studied and taught rhetoric and visual rhetoric for years. It's powerful, influential stuff. I refuse to write what I don't believe is true. That means, I won't take on a project unless I believe in it. <br />
<br />
And I'm a believer in OAM Sprays by For Every Home. I am thoroughly impressed by OAM products. OAM stands for Odor Absorbing Molecules. For Every Home's OAM formula is a patented plant/water-based formula unique to FOR EVERY HOME. Only FOR EVERY HOME has OAM (Odor Absorbing Molecules.) <br />
<br />
How do OAM work? They chemically change the odor and neutralize it. More importantly, does OAM work?<br />
<br />
I give you an emphatic YES.<br />
<br />
You need to know two things about me. First, I hate, absolutely hate chemically smells--the world has enough pollution. I don't need to spray any more into my house.<br />
<br />
When Dan and I first got married, we lived in a little studio apartment. I cannot emphasize too much the word<i> little</i>. The kitchen/living room was smaller than most people's closets. We could sit on our couch and reach the kitchen table. <br />
<br />
Small wasn't the problem, though. It was also <i>stinky. </i>Picture a mixture of scummy goldfish water, stale green peppers, and month-old laundry and you'll get the idea.<i> </i>This was a time before I knew about OAM, probably because OAM was not yet invented yet. I scraped together some money from our meager married student budget and purchased Glade carpet freshener. What came next was a powder storm similar to old footage of DDT crop dusting. Powdered particles highlighted by sunlight suspended in the air. <br />
<br />
I waited for the dust to settled, vacuumed, and sniffed. What remained was a fragrant bouquet of apples mixed with chemicals and a strong undertone of...the original stench. We were blessed to find another apartment--with new carpeting--two months later.<br />
<br />
The second thing you need to know about me is that I am a skeptic. Disgruntled, it was over four years before I tried buying another air freshener. I was expecting our second child and incredibly nauseated. I tried Fabreeze to get rid of the molded cantaloupe smell in the pantry. The smell of fragrance and chemicals masked the lingering scent of rotten cantaloupe. Surely this couldn't be good for my baby!<br />
<br />
Years later, when my husband worked for a small fragrance company in Utah, I discovered OAM Sprays. I have to admit, I thought OAM Sprays would be like my other bad experiences and I put off trying the bottle of OAM Spray I had. <br />
<br />
But then I discovered the mini deep freeze had been unplugged for days without anyone noticing. The pure stench of the thawed, rotting food makes me gag to this day. I hauled the freezer onto the front lawn, sprayed it down with the hose, and scrubbed it with antibacterial soap. The stench remained. We'd have to get rid of our deep freezer.<br />
<br />
I had one last hope: a bottle of OAM Green Apple Spray. I sprayed down the freezer and shut the lid. I figured I'd leave it on the lawn to make it easier to haul it away, but when I opened the lid, I was AMAZED. No more stench. Absolutely no rotten food smell. And best of all...no chemical smell to go with it!<br />
<br />
I've gone through dozens of bottles of OAM Spray since then. I even started selling it. I use OAM Sprays on campfire smells, sleeping bags, burnt dinner smells when I forget to watch dinner, bathroom odors, stinky dogs, cars, you name it. I spray OAM Spray on furniture, carpets, in hair, on dogs, even on my kidlets. OAM Sprays even work on cigarette smoke and skunk. As long as I stick with OAM Sprays, I'm past my skepticism about chemically smelling air fresheners.<br />

Get used to comments like these if you use FOR EVERY HOME's Green Living Multipurpose Cleaner and other products. I've always been a fan since their introduction
in 2010, but last night when my daughter had the stomach flu, I gained an even deeper appreciation for Green Living Multipurpose Cleaner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only could I clean up the mess with the cleaner, it COMPLETELY neutralized the putrid stench. Research has proven pleasant smells increase a person's mood and
productivity. While cleaning up vomit wasn't exactly a pleasant experience, the light citrus mixed with delicate mimosa-flower made it bearable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am a believer. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's no wonder Green Living Multipurpose Cleaner has topped FOR EVERY HOME's
charts as the top-selling product. Pink Mimosa flower-scented Green
Living Cleaner, introduced November 2012, is expected to do just as well. Both 27-ounce cleaners contain only the safest of cleaning ingredients. </div>

Green Living Multipurpose Cleaner was developed when FOR EVERY HOME's founder, Becky Anderson, asked her FOR EVERY HOME development team to come up with a cleaning product that was safe and natural for her infant grandson, William. William had been diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease (KD).<br />
<br />
While the doctors couldn't say exactly what causes KD, they urged Anderson's daughter to remove all chemicals from William's environment and replace them with natural cleaning solutions. The resulting Green Living line of products have not only kept William's environment healthy and clean, they have added a new dimension of environmentally-friendly cleaning to thousands of homes.<br />
<br />
FOR EVERY HOME's Green Living Multipurpose Cleaners are just that: multipurpose! Uses include:<br />
<br />
<b>Counter:</b> Spray on counter tops and let sit for a few minutes to clean and disinfect. Wipe with a dry cloth.<br />
<b>Surfaces:</b> Spray and wipe with a cloth. For disinfecting, allow the cleaner to sit for a few minutes before wiping. Because of its natural citrus content, test a small amount of Green Living on an inconspicuous portion of stainless steel before cleaning.<br />
<b>Bathrooms:</b> Sinks, counters, toilet, tub. <br />
<b>Windows and Mirrors: </b>The cleaner will foam more on mirrors than you are probably used to, but
will provide a beautiful end result. (Not to mention the beautiful,
fresh, non-irritating smell!)<br />
<b>Other Uses: </b>Floors, walls, and cars are other applications for Green Living Cleaners, though the Green Living Dish Soap is ideal for mixing in a bucket of water. I've even had customers say they clean their dogs with Green Living Multipurpose cleaner! And why not? It's perfectly safe for people and their pets. <br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
FOR EVERY HOME's Green Living Multipurpose Cleaners have ingredients including coconut, lemon, lime, mandarin extracts
and eucalyptus oil with disinfecting properties. November also brought another addition to the Green Living Multipurpose
Cleaner ingredient list: patented Odor Absorbing Molecules (OAM), making
Green Living a cleaner/disinfectant AND air freshener. (Think: no more aerosol air freshener cans with toxic warnings!)<br />
<br />
A 27-ounce bottle of Green Living Cleaner is $15 plus tax and shipping and can be purchased at <a href="http://www.stacie.foreveryhome.net/">http://www.stacie.foreveryhome.net</a>. It comes in original Pomegranate Blossom scent or newly introduced Mimosa Flower.<br />

It's easy to start to feel tired, worn-down, frustrated, maybe even down-right resentful at this time of year. The pressure is put on us to buy, spend, and even borrow to make Christmas day the ultimate day of the year. Christmas is a time to celebrate Christ; it is also a time when charity
and love for our family, friends, and fellow travelers on this earth
meets merchandizing. This time of year I always have a hard time figuring out how the two fit together.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, shouldn't Christmas be simple? What happened to the days my Grandmother talks of where each child got an orange--a rarity in Central Utah during the depression--and maybe a nickel? <br />
<br />
On the other hand, if the wise men themselves started the tradition of gifts at Christmas it couldn't be all bad, right?<br />
<br />
I am a chronic over-thinker when it comes to Christmas. My most notable calamity happened a few years ago when I decided that every gift I gave should be unique and perfect for the individual. A fine idea when it comes to soccer tickets for my husband and the ideal garden book for the in-laws, but I cramped half-way through the season, however, when I found myself shopping for used, discontinued Tupperware for my mom and buying a Brian Regan CD for my eighty-five-year-old grandmother. <br />
<br />
There are some times when a generic sweater or fruit basket is not only acceptable, it is preferable.<br />
<br />
<br />
This year, my six-year-old is the first one to have wrapped presents and put them under the tree. Her packages are about the size and shape of a Scrabble tile. In a fit of creativity that passed once we left Michael's, we'd purchased resin tags to customize and make into luggage tags for her dad. I got busy grading finals and she took matters into her own hands with scissors and bright green wrapping paper. She wrapped five the clear, uncustomized tags by herself. She very carefully fit the recipients' names across the tiny packages: no small task for unwieldy first grade print.<br />
<br />
<br />
Four small packages sit under our tree. The fifth has already been delivered to Ms. Hirst, her first grade teacher, who surely ooohed and ahhhed over the perhaps puzzling, but certainly heartfelt gift. I know first-hand what Ms. Hirst's reaction might have been because I was mom helper on one day when she received a gift from another student. She opened it at the first of the day, during "rug time," when the twenty-five six-year-olds sit on the floor around Ms. Hirst's chair. She carefully unwrapped the present--a Santa door hanger--and smiled. She said how excited she was to have it and how she would keep it at school and then at Christmas break she would take it home and hang it in her house. She was sincere and the appreciation she emanated made me wish I'd been the one to give her the door hanger. <br />
<br />
I should learn from my sweet six-year-old and her teacher: to give--and receive--from the
heart. They seem to have the spirit of the season figured out in first
grade; they know it's about the excitement of giving, not what's in the tiny package, that counts. And, that gifts at Christmas are important because they are the reflection of the greatest of all gifts.<br />

It is easy to get caught up in the search for the best deals. I am guilty on this front. I said I wasn't going to go shopping on Black Friday and yet found myself standing in a line that snaked half the perimeter of Kohls. Everyone has their price and mine is apparently bath towels for $2.99.<br />
<br />
Kohls knows what they are
doing when they stack great deals in the middle of the aisle within
captive line standers' reach. By the time I got to the clerk, a sweater, a building set, and a toy digital camera--all killer deals--had joined my towels.<br />
<br />
I am now ready to put Black Friday behind me and gear up for a Simple Christmas Season and put cringe-worthy YouTube clips of
"Black Friday at Walmart" out of my mind.<br />
<br />
And so reformed, I offer<b>...</b><br />
<br />
<b>Five ways to simplify gift-giving and hopefully steal some quiet time for yourself and the important people in your life:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Stop and Regain Focus. </b>Just because it's on sale doesn't mean you need it. Most likely, you didn't even know you wanted it before you saw it advertised. Impulse buys can add a few hundred to your Christmas bill if left unchecked.<br />
<br />
<b>Consider the Real Costs. </b>Just because you've pinned 40 amazing, simple handmade gift ideas to your Pinterest board doesn't mean that making them will be simple or inexpensive. Consider your time, sanity, and how extra trips to the craft store add up to extra time and money.<br />
<br />
<b>Remember the Reason.</b> Gifts are symbols to represent you care about relationships in your lives. For Christians at Christmas, gifts represent the ultimate gift Jesus Christ gave: his life and example. Giving gifts in this spirit can simplify Christmas.<br />
<br />
<b>Plan Ahead.</b> Having your shopping done early leaves more time to focus on your relationships with people rather than material gifts. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Have Extra Gifts on Hand</b>. Situations always come up where you need an extra gift: a co-worker you forgot on your list, a sub-for-Santa donation, a hostess gift for the dinner party you were invited to, a new neighbor. Having several pre-wrapped gifts on hand eases last minute stress.<br />

Who can resist the cheerful fall colors
and creamy-sweet taste of candy corns? These sweet autumn
confections have been a festive fall staple for over 100 years.
Here's a few sweet facts about America's favorite fall candy:</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
More than 35 million pounds of candy
corns will be produced this year. That's nine billion individual
candy corns!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Candy corns were originally invented by
George Renninger of Wunderlee Candy circa 1880.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In 1900, the Goelitz family began
making “butter cream candies” or candy corns.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Because America was an agrarian society
in the early 1900s, the corn shape of candy corns was an instant hit.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The three-colored candy was a novelty
and the public literally ate them up.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Four generations latter, Herman
Goelitz, Sr. started making jelly beans. His family company became
Jelly Belly.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Individual candy corns have, on
average, 6 calories each, and no fat.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A simple 30 minute walk will burn off
15 candy corns.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Better yet, enjoy the rich smell of
CANDY CORN with zero calories! I love the candy corn candles and candy corn cubes from FOR EVERY HOME. This year, FOR EVERY HOME has even come out with candy corn OAM Gels and candy Corn OAM Sprays!<a href="http://www.stacie.foreveryhome.net/">http://www.stacie.foreveryhome.net</a></div>
