The Punishers

I would just love to go like crazy and sell this it works! stuff but the problem is I lost it the other day. I put my lying 5 year old out of the car and drove a way. I have to work on my home life and myself before I can get this Network Marketing job up and running. We are all signed up for counseling. My son's father's wife Dawn asked her mom what we could do about our disobedient little boy and she said. "You aren't punishing him are you? Make sure you give him logical consequences not punishments."

"What in the world does that mean?"

That conversation lead us to believe that we have been going about this parenting thing all wrong. We have been punishing when we should have been giving logical consequences. We have punished a little boy into hating himself. For example

“Bryan you need to clean your room.”

“No, I don’t want to”

“Okay Bryan you need to go to timeout for not cleaning your room and not listening.”

“No, I don’t want to.”

“Okay now you are getting a spanking for not listening.” By this time there is holy screaming in our house, and Bryan now has begun hitting himself and saying "I hate myself and I am never going to play with toys again."
What we were doing was punishing and it was not working. Rather than thinking about cleaning his room the only thing on his mind was that he is getting spanked. He was learning to hate himself. Instead what we should do is...

“Bryan clean up your room and then we can play candy land.” or insert something else like eat dinner, go to Aunty Krista’s, take a walk, or do whatever it is that you need to do.

“Okay!” Bry excitedly starts cleaning his room and subconsciously he learns that he should clean up the toys in his room before he moves onto another activity. The punishment then for messing up his room is cleaning his room, not going to timeout and getting a spanking. Those have nothing to do with the task at hand at it confuses little minds.

Anyways. I have read every article on punishment vs logical consequence and I think you should do the same if you have a troubled little person. Here are some great links. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org/article/punishment-vs-logical-consequences

The first step I am going to take to put this household back together is outlaw punishment at our house. Secondly I am going to enact this rule chart. Pretty cute huh? My husbands told me to use comic sans and when I did he said. “HaHa, can’t believe you used comic sans. Well I guess it goes with your clipart.” What in the world is that supposed to mean? I like it anyways and I am sure the 5 year old will too. This chart is getting printed out and posted today!

Best whole Chicken in a crock pot

The Butler’s Chicken

This is the best damn chicken you will ever taste.


First you take a chicken. Rinse it good with cold water and set it in your crockpot. Cut off the excess fat around the butt.


Mix together a nice rub for your chicken. My rubs are always different but for tonights chicken I used
1 fat tbls sea salt
1 tbls of granulated garlic
1 tbls of smoked papricka
1 tsp ground smoked cayenne pepper
.5 tsp ground white pepper
.5 tsp ground black pepper

Add more peppers for some heat if you want. This is mild enough for a five year old.

Rub this mixture all over your chicken: on top of and underneath the skin and in the cavity.


Cut up 1 stick of butter. Put it under the skin and in the cavity. Save a little butter for the stuffing.


Cut up 5 or 6 plantains. You want these plantains to have a lot of black on the peel.


Cover plantains with honey, then sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Add remaining butter. Mix with hands and continue to add the more honey, cinnamon and nutmeg until they look good.


Shove these puppies in the cavity of the chicken.

Nuzzle the rest of the plantains around the chicken. I like to lay the breast down in the crock pot yet some people do breast up. Sprinkle the rest of you seasoning on top and turn your crock pot on high.


Cook for 4 hours.

Garnish with lime.


For sides I like to make coconut rice and green veggies.
1.5 cups of rice
3 cups of water
1 can of coconut milk




Steam up some broccoli or green beans and you got yourself a meal!

Sorry there are no after pictures. We always get too excited about eating and forget to take pics. The smells and tastes will control you! Next time I make I will add pics finished pics.

It Works Personal Story: Breastfeeding and excema

I wrapped and it worked. I lost a little. Nothing to write home about. I didn't go from size 16 to a size 8 like I had imagined, but I did feel great. Those few inches made me feel like a million bucks. Who doesn't want to feel like a million bucks?

I went to my Doctor and asked about the Ultimate Body Applicator and the Greens with breastfeeding in mind. My Dr. said that because it is a detoxifying wrap it is better not used while breastfeeding. That's what I thought but I had to give it at least one test since I am selling the darn things. As for the greens he said that I could take them and that they should be just fine.

I went to my son's doctor and took the Greens and Defining Gel. The Dr. said that I could put defining gel on my 5 year old because it is topical and not ingested. She said no to the greens because the label doesn't have amounts on it and we wouldn't want to give him harmful amounts of any one substance.

So it's greens for me and defining gel for my 5 year old. Now onto my husband. He wrapped twice and takes the greens every once in awhile and he is looking good. He is watching what he eats and the weight is coming off. He is now on It Works! restriction until I am done breastfeeding.  

The greens make me feel like a new person. I am no longer sporting cold sores and we just went from summer to winter which is normally a bad time for me. Thank you greens. You will forever have a place in my belly.

The defining gel totally took care of my son's eczema quicker than steroid cream. Crazy thing is it is totally natural.
