Hello, Hello!
So, a lot has been happening in life and...
You know better than that! Vague sharing is something I have perfected quite... perfectly in my online sphere of life.
So, a lot really has happened and due to that "lot" I haven't been online so much. My writing went from daily to ... not at all!
Things really aren't slowing down but I thought it was time to pick up the computer again and say "Hello, Is it me you're looking for?"
We know it is, you've missed my ramblings, admit it. The thought of sitting down with a cup of tea and reading the next thing from the mind of Lynnea... you have just been waiting for more.
Okay so, I'm aware my readership isn't THAT vast buuuuut.... a girl can dream right?
Well this girl as been dream WRITING! I've missed it! I've missed YOU my random readers who end up aimless and wandering to this here page.
Okay okay, enough stalling. Heres what's up.
A LOT. :P Didn't think I'd give it away that easily did you? Really?
Okay so I have plans. I honestly don't know how well they will work out but I have two books planned and in the writing process. I can't wait to share these stories with you.
I'm ready to start my life. To begin blogging again and maybe even HOPEFULLY grow my audience.
So sit back, relax and watch the show maybe soon enough I'll be able to focus enough to give you more!

Looking, Seeing, Searching, Finding
I've been working on teaching the kids the difference between the words "looking, seeing, hearing and listening" for a while now. Few see a difference and I want to make sure they see it. But I thought I'd take that lesson and blog about it, to spread it around.
According to the dictionary.
To LOOK is to direct one's gaze toward someone or something or in a specified direction.
To SEE is to perceive with the eyes; discern visually
AND to become aware of something from observation or from a written or other visual source
Looking is the simple act of directing your gaze to something specific. But seeing is a deeper thing. To SEE something you must put your focus on it, observe it.
When we ask "Do you see?" We are not asking "Are you looking?" The meaning of the first question holds a deeper more concrete focus than the other question.
To focus on the other one, Hearing and listening.
To HEAR is to perceive with the ear the sound made by (someone or something).
AND to be told or informed of.
AND to be aware of; know of the existence of.
To LISTEN is to give one's attention to a sound.
AND to take notice of and act on what someone says; respond to advice or a request.AND to make an effort to hear something; be alert and ready to hear something.
It is ALSO used to urge someone to pay attention to what one is going to say.
So here you see that hearing is the simple act in this case while listening requires effort and recollection.
To SEE you must LOOK and to LISTEN you must HEAR. However you can look and not see and hear but not listen. It's just not advised. To look and hear but not see and listen is generic and frustrating. Learn to look and see and hear and listen. Life gets a whole lot easier when you do both at the same time (look and see being one category, hear and listen in the other)
My life has been a mess lately so I'm trying to do all of that in my SEARCH to FIND that next thing for my life. I'm Searching thoroughly and will find it in time.
Hopefully you will be doing the same.
Until next time let us seek and find...

Happy Rejuvenation January
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
Now that we have that greeting out of the way,
So Thankful November and Devotion December got away from me. We had a few different things take over. But now we are in 2018 and it's Rejuvenation January.
This month we are going to focus on a little self love and rejuvenation. To become something more, something better in the new year.
That being said... Todays post is about something a little different. Something that I think every parent should know.
Kids get pink eye. When it happens a sudden fear goes through everyone in the home. Pink eye is MAJORLY contagious. I've known people who get it so often and easy they keep it for months at a time.
It happened in our home. I'm one of "those" moms. You know them, the ones that know that kids get sick, and things happen so we go the "natural route." You know the path, herbs, oils, natural home remedies. And yes I prefer homemade products like lotion, shampoo, body wash, and all that. We use wool balls instead of the other fabric softeners. We've just found that the natural way is the better way for us.
So we jumped into action since we couldn't get our little pink eye guy to the doctor right away (holidays will do that to you) I tried a couple of home remedies. DO NOT put the following remedy IN the eye but this is what we did.
One of the remedies I found was green tea on a cotton ball, another was turmeric on a cotton ball. I decided to mix them both... the result was FACINATING.
We made some green tea and I put some turmeric in it. Waited for it too cool enough to apply, dipped the cotton ball in it and placed the cotton ball on our sickly one. We did this warm compress for 45 minutes using a newly soaked cotton ball each time the other got cold. It drew the infection out an that night our guy went from light sensitive and totally in pain to almost back to normal. We did more the next day, in morning and evening. By the following day his eye and he were both 95% back to normal! Just 2 days of this and WOW the difference!
Give it a try! It was amazing!

Thankful November 1
November 1st:
I am thankful for...
Life.
Yes, the ins and outs, the ups and downs. Life in general is something to be thankful for. The ups are amazing, as anyone will say... but the downs? They grow and challenge us. They make us stronger and even the downs make life beautiful.
Life is hard. Especially these days. I say that, but you know what? Life was hard before we had technology, before media had so many outlets. Life was hard before the improvements in medicine, before electricity. It's ALWAYS been hard. It always will be.
But the moments in life that challenge us are the scars that we learn from and that help us improve and grown. They are beautiful, and strong, and amazing.
So yes, I am thankful for life. For ALL of our lives. I'm thankful for the struggles, even as they are happening. Because once I see the light at the end of the tunnel, the struggles are worth all of that and more.
Give thanks. Even for the rough times in life. Those are the times we need to give thanks the most because being thankful about the things that hurt and anger us, that's forgiveness, it's healing. It's strength, and it's powerful.
So with that said...
"Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us""
For the intro post I share a great Jamberry wrap. If you like it, check it out. These wraps make great presents for birthdays, Christmas, and just because. Also... What a great way to tell a lady in your life "I am thankful for you." Then by getting them this awesome wrap: Give thanks- https://katieblack.jamberry.com/…/en/s…/products/give-thanks
Also, This months essential oils for being thankful: Wild Orange, the oil of abundance.
Immortelle, the oil of spiritual insight.
Elevation, the oil of joy.
Today I want to talk about Wild Orange. It's one of my favorite oils. It smells so good and in all honesty when I've diffused it, I've felt at ease, calmer, and just happier, uplifted . We're coming in on the time of year for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) Seasonal Depression. The time of being thankful is overshadowed by this gloomyness. Put some Wild Orange Essential oil into your diffuser and that should help.
Herb to help with Stress and Anxiety: Ashwaganda. I'm a little biased when it comes to this herb. With good reason. Ashwaganda is said to help with blood sugar, has anti cancer properties, and is a GREAT herb for thyroid health. It also is said to help with lung issues! Well, another thing its good for is stress and anxiety. It's the holidays! Don't even try telling me you don't get stressed or anxious during this time. Christmas shopping has begun for some and for others it's about to. Most people aren't completely done until December 24th. Even with all that help from Santa...
Christmas can stress even the calmest of souls. People get MEAN too. I can't tell you the amount of carts that have been purposefully barreled into me because I stopped to look at something and was in an impatient persons way. I WANTED to yell, I wanted to hit them back with a cart, but I figured if they had the gall to do that to me they'd be the person to try and press charges on me to retaliate. So I shake my head and move on... after I'm done looking 
I might even take longer! lol just kidding. Seriously though back to my point, I have been taking Ashwaganda for several months now for thyroid health and I'm calmer, I'm happier, and my thyroid is SO much better. It's an herb I most def recommend!
Alright I've taken enough of your time for the day. Sorry if the length annoys you. I hope you learned something new and helpful and maybe even found a Christmas present you want or want to get someone else! haha Then you can give thanks for this post! Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow! 
Here is the writing prompt for the day also

Theme Months with A Twist
So,
A few years ago, in 2013 I did an entire year of THEME POSTS. Facebook was my main outlet though I used the blog for some as well.
It's time to do that again, so I am starting again with Thankful November and Devotion December and will be going through all of 2018! This year will be a little different.
My life has changed in the last few years. In 2013 I was doing part time mostly volunteer work, no significant other and not many other responsibilities either.
My friends and I were all on different paths in life.
Now, I am a bonus mom, a wife, and a professional cleaner. I also have an book under my belt. That's right, I'm a published author as well now!
I am also hoping to become a wellness advocate for doterra when things line up just a little better.
So that's what the changes involve. My best friend is a Independent Consultant for Jamberry, and so I'm hoping to tie in some of her products to my themes because I believe in saving and budgeting and Jamberry is a great way to ultimately do both AND have a great product.
The DoTerra part comes in because there is literally an oil for everything. That's right, each theme will also have an oil or oils that will go hand in hand.
I will focus on spiritual, mental, and physical health throughout the year with these posts and I look forward to growing together with some of my readers from 2013 but also with the new people in my life!
I'll be using Instagram and twitter more with this theme year as well.
That being said. The Thankful month will be relatively easy.
I'll be focusing on things to be thankful for, and I'm also going to incorporate my bonus kids pumpkin lady. She'll be leaving special notes about thankfulness for the kids, and I'll be posting them as they come.
In December I will need YOUR help. So get a list of things for me to pray for. I will be vague in the posts unless asked to do other wise (or to not talk about it at all.) But this is all about YOUR prayer requests. So send them in. I'll also be posting different devotions each day that I write or have already written so GET READY! :)
I am so excited about doing this with each of you!
Happy Theme-ing! lol

ReCOOPERating the Coopers Part 2: The Love Story
With the help of my friend Stephanie who posted the page for us on You Caring I'm currently trying to raise funds to help us make the money for our newly acquired and very expensive hospital bill.
So to make this a little more personal to those who may want to donate I thought that I would share our love story with you. A love story bigger than just a Daniel and a Lynnea.
When I was 5 years old I made friends with a little girl in Kindergarten. Her family was kind as was mine. Then I switched schools a couple of years into elementary and didn't see her again until High School. Once in High School I returned to the schools in the same county as her and we became friends again. I count this young girl among one of my closest friends. She asked me when we were about 16 (after my father died) if I would like to go to etiquette classes her church was doing with her. I said sure.
If you know me, you know I have never liked new situations. I was nervous and her older brother drove us to this class. He knew me slightly but we weren't friends or anything. He'd graduated in 2001. So when we got there he went inside and helped me until I was comfortable. Then he left to come get us later. That was one of the last times I remember seeing that young man but he'd left an impression.
Fast Forward a few years. Sept. 2012 to be exact and I'm sitting at home bored on facebook and his name flashes through my mind. So I look him up! lol.
To my surprise I find him, we become friends on facebook and start messaging each other back and forth. He was kind, and he was also now living in Ohio. By this point he'd been married and was now divorced, with 3 kids. He told me about them. Asked why I hadn't gotten married yet. lol.
So here we were two people burned by love in different ways, both convinced that we wouldn't be experiencing long term love. We quickly became friends. This man is a workaholic but he found a way to talk to me almost every day. It wasn't until May 2013 that we hung out in person. He introduced me to his kids and the 5 of us had a blast. Life was good apart from me being about to have my 4th knee surgery. I was about to experience Nashville TN with one of my best friends.
We still talked almost every day, and then a couple of days before I went to Nashville we decided to start texting. Texting became calling and we continued that for over a year.
This guy is stubborn. Even though we could tell we liked each other he wouldn't date me. He didn't want a serious relationship, he was afraid that I would hurt him and the kids. But the kids and I had already gotten close so finally in Feb of 2015 this guy decided to give me a shot. We traveled to see each other in Ohio and KY, and swiftly began to love each other. I was also starting to love the kids. We did so many fun things together, hiking, going to lakes, caves. We just love adventures.
Then in June 2016 after a little over a year this guy proposed to me. He'd decided that not only was a serious relationship okay but that he wanted to marry me. The kids even said they wanted me to officially be their step mom. (We now use the term Bonus Mom) I'm friends with the kids mom even, and so is Daniel. Which is great. But anyway, in October 2016 I married this family of 4 and we became a family of 5 in this household.
We love one another but money is already tight. We have a ton of bills, cost of living isn't low.
We now have a hospital bill. A BIG one. And we NEED help. Anyone that knows me, and that knows Daniel... knows we don't ask for help very often. It's hard for us to find the words. So my friend Stephanie found them for us and I am forever grateful. We've already made a little bit on you caring but we need more! So please pray, share, and donate! Let others know why our cause is important to you and PLEASE help us.
Our love is pure and strong, I wanted you to get to know that side of us. But right now we need more than our love. So please find in your heart to help.
It's 8,000 If just 10 people give 100 each that's 1000 right there, so if just 80 people gave 100 that would cover it right there! If 160 people gave $50 each that would cover it! If 320 people gave $25 we would have it. If 800 gave 10 we would have it. If 1,600 gave $5 each we would have our $8000 needed for this bill! This is a small world. There are more than 1,600 people in this country! I have 1,400 friends on facebook. If my facebook friends shared with their friends... We can do this! We already made a little bit so PLEASE help us meet our goal.
Thank you for your time. Please help the Coopers ReCOOPERate.

"ReCOOPERating the Coopers"
Hello, Dear readers!
So somethings have been happening since my last post. The most recent and... also life changing is the fact that my husband Daniel just had surgery. I thought this was the best place to tell you about that.
Monday of last week my husband started having horrible pains in his stomach. He was at work when these pains started and came home for lunch around noon. From noon to one he was home, didn't eat just spent the time throwing up but felt they were gas pains so that's what we were treating. He went back to work around 1 and was back home and sick by 3 pm. We both were trying to figure out what was wrong when suddenly the pain was ONLY in his lower right abdomen. I begged my normally stubborn husband to go to the ER. He chose Urgent Care, Urgent Care quickly sent him to the ER which was thankfully just down the road. The ER took one look at him, just like Urgent Care and while they couldn't diagnose we were all pretty certain this was appendicitis. It was around 9 when they told him he would be having surgery either first thing in the morning or he would be the next surgery (they had 3 other people ahead of him who also had appendicitis) ... Minutes later they told us he was going back in 10 minutes. It was bad!
Around 11:30 is when he actually finally went back. At 1:30 his surgery was over. It went well. They had to cut him open instead of doing the lap scope though. Which means a bit longer recovery. The doctor told me that had they waited much longer his appendix would have ruptured. They went in just in time.
However, with surgeries and hospital stays comes hospital bills and as we are a family of 5 with other bills, we are in great need of help.
Enter in: A friend of mine decided to help us by starting a You Caring Page for fundraising. So this is where my wonderful friends and readers come in.
First and foremost we ask for your prayers. Prayers for continued recovery of my husband and also prayers that we are able to raise the money for the hospital bill.
2nd: Share Share Share! Please PLEASE share the page with your friends and family on social media and just in general.
3rd. If you can help please do. My husband and I aren't people that ask for help often. We need it now though so please if you can donate know that we appreciate every little bit from every person willing to give.

So somethings have been happening since my last post. The most recent and... also life changing is the fact that my husband Daniel just had surgery. I thought this was the best place to tell you about that.
Monday of last week my husband started having horrible pains in his stomach. He was at work when these pains started and came home for lunch around noon. From noon to one he was home, didn't eat just spent the time throwing up but felt they were gas pains so that's what we were treating. He went back to work around 1 and was back home and sick by 3 pm. We both were trying to figure out what was wrong when suddenly the pain was ONLY in his lower right abdomen. I begged my normally stubborn husband to go to the ER. He chose Urgent Care, Urgent Care quickly sent him to the ER which was thankfully just down the road. The ER took one look at him, just like Urgent Care and while they couldn't diagnose we were all pretty certain this was appendicitis. It was around 9 when they told him he would be having surgery either first thing in the morning or he would be the next surgery (they had 3 other people ahead of him who also had appendicitis) ...
