Nettie Pot?

I've had a couple of people suggest a nettie pot for my allergies, but I have no idea what this is. What is it? Where do I get one?

A Nettie pot is a little dish that holds water in it. You tilt your head to the side and pour the water in the top nostril. The water will run through your sinuses and leak out the bottom nostril. Apparently it helps clean your sinuses out. Never tried it though.

I have only heard of it being used for a sinus infection but it might be worth a try, here is a link for you to read

........ um why don't you just use a nasal spray for allergy's.. Zyrtech I think makes one that is s'posed to be really good. and helps with being able to breathe.

I konw I mentioned it. The first time I used it was when I had a sinus infection and it really helped! But then I got Colin to use it for his allergies and he too liked it. It's one of those things that you have to commit to using everyday if it's going to help with your allergies. You can get the pot and the sinus rinse that goes with it at Walmart. I like to do it in the shower. Trust me it feels so weird to use the first few times but once you get over it it's like a bath for your sinus. PS the salt in the sir in NS probably is what helped your allergies. The sinus rinse is a salt solution so it may really help you. Soory fro the long comment;)

You can get what Tanya was talking about in a squeeze bottle too. I use it for my allergies. It's best for me to use it just as I feel an attack coming on. When I'm full throttle I'm too plugged to un-plug if you know what I mean. Totally feels weird but it's good for you.

This is what I have...and Tanya has the same brand but she has the pot. I like the squeeze bottle myself.

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
