Essential Oils

There is quite the controversy over the use of Essential Oils EOs). Probably just as big an argument is which company has the safest and purest EOs. I have done some research, and looked at the websites of some of the companies out there.

I discussed with my husband (who still thinks of it all as "snake oil," but has agreed to indulge me) and come to the conclusion I need to follow my gut on this. So…. I bought a starter kit of EOs from Young Living.

I can't shake this feeling that this is going to be a healthier way for our family to live. I know there is a huge learning curve in using EOs safely and effectively. I also know that there will be times that we will still need traditional medical care.

Now, I need to decide what I am going to do first. It will involve something in the diffuser. I am thinking either Purification or Thieves. Possibly both? Obviously a little more research is needed. 

What about you? Are you curious about what EOs can do for you and your family? Join me as I explore this new avenue of caring for my family. Maybe you will decide to give them a try yourself.

Restart!

Whoa! It has been a REALLY long time since I've posted anything on this blog. Our lives have changed in so many ways in the last 3 years. Not only was our son, Adam, born December 1, 2011, but we also have a baby girl, Callie, who was born October 2, 2013. Our daily life is crazy to say the least.

So let's just hit the restart button here.

Since, I have attempted to blog before and not quite been able to keep up with it, I have little faith that I will be able to do this on a weekly basis. What can I say? Life has a way of speeding up. Finding time to write becomes more difficult and eventually becomes the lowest priority.

Over the past five years (since our twins were born) I have learned that I am not a perfect mom and probably an even less of a perfect wife. I am sure my family would say they love as I am in spite of my many flaws. However, I still strive to improve and be better at both. I feel as though I was made for this, I know I can do it.

This year I have several goals. I realize they may take more than a year to realize. There is no time like the present to get started
