sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

We just walked outside to check on our plants and decided to take a selfie. Well, in the process, I stepped on Elliot’s foot and he got a sneeze attack from all the pollen.

This picture is so funny to us. It’s a natural sneeze. Lol

      It can be horrible to deal with! We keep our windows closed during the day or else me and my kids will start the sneezing, have runny noses, itchy eyes…the whole works.
      Glad the allergy season is over for you! Hope you can breathe in some fresh air and enjoy it.

        I surely can breathe freely!!

        During feb- march it’s terrible.

        It will return around September

    I am a lifelong allergy sufferer (but lucky that is my only affliction as of now). Saw this earlier on Twitter:
    “UMichiganNews: .@umclasp researchers @alsteine & @yingxiaoZ via @ConversationUS: “In a 2022 study, we found that the U.S. will face up to a 200% increase in total pollen this century if the world continues producing carbon dioxide emissions…”

      Allergies are terrible to deal with, but that’s pretty good if it’s your only affliction! At least you can get treat it with medicine. Anyhow, I don’t want to minimize it, because when you’re suffering from it. it is horrible.
      California is having an inordinate amount of pollen this spring. We went to Target to pick up allergy medicine and there was a sign that due to high demand, you can only purchase 4 allergy items per person. The shelves were bare. I ordered from from Amazon tonight.

        Thank goodness for Amazon sometimes … they make it too easy to buy from them but why run around town if you don’t have to?

      2. singlikewildflowers Avatar

        Amazon is so convenient and useful for our family! I don’t have the time or the energy to run around town to go shopping. There’s a certain kind of joy in browsing in person, but shopping with kids is stressful. I don’t even know what I bought and sometimes forget to get the thing I meant to buy. lol.

        Ha ha – yes I “get” that you come home with items that caught the kids’ eyes too. Amazon is quick and easy.

      4. singlikewildflowers Avatar

        You are spot on! How can I forget that kids find things too they want…and they give you the cute face and higher pitch, “Can I get this, mommy?” They work it.
        I like supporting small businesses too and I do that when I can. But most of the time, It’s all Target, which is close to our house, or Amazon deliveries.

      5. Linda Schaub Avatar

        I’m surprised more small businesses aren’t closing down due to Amazon. And now no more Bed, Bath & Beyond … I wonder who gets their business?

      6. singlikewildflowers Avatar

        I believe small businesses sell on Amazon too. It seems complicated but there are individual shops. They probably pay a fee to sell on the platform.
        It’s sad Bed, Bath & Beyond are closing some of their stores. I did a lot of shopping there in the past but stopped going there after kids. It was occasional. Target became our go-to shop after kids for convenience factors.
        That’s a good question Linda. Don’t know who will get their business. Feel bad that such a big shop is closing.

        I’ve had a few instances where I run into small shops selling on Amazon and they are good to deal with. I understand from the all-news radio station’s business reporter that Bed, Bath & Beyond may sell their name and a similar store open but it’s still up in the air. I’ve not shopped there in a while but did buy from them in the past as they had such a good selection.

        When I see small businesses on Amazon, I try to buy from them. I agree that BB&B have a great selection. It’s too bad they are going out of business.
