Five leaves is the English translation of our last name. Lima is five and Rii is a kind of tree leaf in To'abaita (Franklin's language).

Baking Soda, my best friend
Prickly heat (heat rash) is my worst enemy during hot season. So, when my friend told me that in order to get rid of it, you can make a paste out of baking soda and it'll go away, I was eager to try it. Lo, and behold! It works. So, that is how baking soda became my best friend. A warning to all of you who are going to try this, because I'm sure that after this post baking soda will be in high demand around the globe! My friend left this paste on her daughters too long, and it apparently pulled off a layer or two of the skin. We don't leave it on very long at all... less than 30 seconds, just long enough for a blogging mommy to take a picture. :)

Good little tip and warning. Poor Ellie though :( -C
Poor Ellie?! She was just one of the three of us who got treated that day! And that was only the first of the many treatments we are doing this season. Poor family five leaves! ;) Bring on the monsoon rains to cool us down!

Oh I didn't realize it was everyone. Boo for everyone. I hope it's not too bad. :(
