I was 20 months old when my brother Brandon was diagnosed with RSV; He developed pneumonia as a complication of RSV and was hospitalized for nearly two weeks at the Children’s Hospital that was two hours from our home. I had to stay with my grandparents, and my parents had to take off work to help care for him. Thankfully he recovered and didn’t suffer any further complications, but it was a scary time for our family. October is National RSV Awareness Month and I’m trying to help create awareness about the prevention of RSV.

There are lots of things that you can use beeswax to make, two of my favorites are lotion bars and homemade candles. Today I’m sharing how to make your own essential oil scented beeswax candles. Don’t worry if you don’t have any beeswax to make candles yourself, you can instead look to sites like Little Miss Twiggie Twinkles and purchase some little tea light candles or even a wax melt burner to add a nice some and some aesthetic to your home! Now, without further ado..

Between leftover wedding cake and our 12 day honeymoon which was the equivalent of eating our way through the Mediterranean, I’ve been afraid to step on the scales. My pants are snug, which isn’t very comfortable. I know that I need to lose weight, but that’s much easier said than done. Now that school is back in session and Jeremy is preparing to teach his fall semester classes, I’m no longer cooking three meals a day.

It’s much easier for me to watch my calorie intake when I’m not making meals which are dictated by the appetites and tastes of a 6 year old boy and a 40 year old man. I can also cut out the amount of junk food I have on hand, and make it easier for me to make healthier snack choices.
