2. Quick, Easy & Cheap Gift Ideas for Mom
==========================================

Don't have much m*oney or time but lots of love to give to Mom?

Here are four simple ways to pamper Mom at home on Mother's Day -
right in her own home.

From fixing her a cup of tea to drawing her an essential oil bath
~ infuse either with love and she'll love it!

Here's an 8 minute video I shot showing you how: Go To Video Now!

Note: I show in this video how to make a packaged Lavender Salt
Bath and how to create a Rose Milk Bath. I didn't mention the
brand of essential oils in the video because of the media - but
you know by now that I only use Young Living!

Order your essential oils from your Young Living
distributor or by going to Young Living's Website

3. Help A Mom with Menopause
=============================

Susun Weed, herbalist and author of "Menopause the Wild Woman
Way" is coming live to our Home Spa Lady community.

YOUR questions in her "Green Tea with Marilee" interview style.

===========================
4. Essential Oil Tip: Joy
===========================

Joy is a great essential oil blend for Mother's Day.

Mothers are naturally full of "heart energy".

Adding a drop of Joy on the heart produces a magnetic energy to
bring even more joy to the heart.

Joy is a blend of these single oils:

--Rose
--Bergamot
--Mandarin
--Ylang Ylang
--Lemon
--Geranium
--Jasmine
--Palmarosa
--Roman Chamomile
--Rosewood

(Possible sun sensitivity with this blend)

A great and easy book to find out what essential oils to use for
certain issues is the Essential Desk Reference.

distributor or by going to Young Living's Website

5. Success Tip: Washington Irving
==================================

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and
sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of
prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine,
desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling
to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to
dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to
our hearts.

===============================================
6.Recipe of the Week: Roasted Asparagus Quiche
===============================================

Great breakfast idea for Mother's Day!

1 bunch fresh asparagus
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 pie crust
5 large eggs
1-1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese

- Clean, trim and drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the
asparagus. Wiping the oil on with your hands will give you better
coverage. You can also use a pastry brush. Roast for 20 minutes
at 450 F.

- Reduce oven heat to 425 F. Place crust in pie plate and line
crust with wax paper. Add ceramic pie weights, dried beans or
rice. Bake 25 - 35 minutes until golden brown.

- Remove the crust from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375
F. Chop roasted asparagus into 1/2" lengths. Beat eggs, milk,
salt and pepper with a fork.

- Place asparagus evenly in the bottom of the baked crust. Add
grated cheese then pour in the beaten eggs.

- Bake at 375 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes until browned on top.

7. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

Mother's Love

Someday when the children are old enough to understand the logic
that motivates a parent, I will tell them:

I loved you enough to ask where you are going, with whom, and
what time you would be home.

I loved you enough to insist that you save your money and buy a
bike for yourself even though I could afford to buy one for you.

I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your
new best friend was a jerk.

I loved you enough to make you pay for the toy you had taken and
tell the clerk' " I stole this yesterday, and I want to pay for
it."

I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you
cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.

I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, and
tears in my eyes. Children should know that their parents aren't
perfect.

I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your
actions even when the penalties were so harsh, they almost broke
my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough to say NO when I knew you
would hate me for it.

Those were the most difficult battles of all. I am glad I won
them, because in the end, you won too . And someday when your
children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates
parents, you will tell them.
