"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

A Special Mother's Day Gift: Pampering Tired Loyal Feet


Make a massaging cream with olive oil and Epson salt.  Mix the two ingredients together until you have an oily paste.
Remove all of your dry calluses with the painter’s sponge before you soak your feet in warm water.    
Next rub lemon juice all over your feet with a cotton ball.  Allow the lemon juice to set on your feet for a few minutes to help exfoliate and remove all the dead skin cells.   
Place your feet in a tub of warm water and allow them tootsies to soak and relax the days strain away.  As you soak your feet play some soothing music or read a good read.  Take the time - just enjoy - after all you deserve it.

After your feet have soaked for several minutes remove one foot at a time placing your foot on the dry towel and massage in the olive oil and Epson salt paste. This will buff away all of the remaining dead skin cell and leave you with smooth soft feet. Once your have massaged your foot well, sit it back in the tub of warm water. Repeat with the other foot. Once both feet have been done towel them off and you will be left with some happy tootsies.


Now take the time for you it can be anything, just do something for you, you deserve it!
