It’s that time of year, isn’t it? Empty tissue boxes are popping up all over my house. And apparently I’m the only one who knows how to get out a new one. Your house too? This is one of my favorite mom hacks with essential oils! It’s comforting when one of us is stuffed up or congested. There are lots...
UPDATED January 2021: Of all the DIYs I make and share, this is BY FAR the most requested that I sell. I don’t sell it because I barely have time to make for me, much less to keep up with selling them. LOL! But they are THAT freakin’ good and you need to make them, friend! I promise they’re easy,...
Quick post because these are too good and too easy not to share! I am always looking for fast, easy breakfast options that will give me sustainable energy to accomplish the 1,084 things I have planned for myself. Protein balls are one of my favorites! They are fast and easy to make, quick to grab out of the fridge in...
I am and always have been a lip balm addict. Back in the day, I hoarded Naturistics Sweet Lips glosses from Walgreens. And remember Kissing Koolers??? Raspberries & Kiwi, Blackberries & Banana, Orange Cranberry. Anywho…it was a problem. Apparently lip gloss “addiction” is debated in the skin care industry, but I can tell you from experience that my lips certainly...
Summer is here, FINALLY! I don’t know about you, but as soon as Memorial Day is here, we hit the pool every weekend that the sun is shining. Nothing feels like summer to me like packing up the kids and the pool toys for a day playing in the sun. As you may guessed from the blog title, I have red...
I loved pudding pops as a kid and they bring back fond summer memories. After my daughter’s recent tonsillectomy, I had some extra vanilla pudding and decided to try it out with NingXia Red. Winning! One of my new favorite summer recipes! These are seriously tasty, and a great way to get little ones the bazillion benefits from NingXia Red. What...
Spring is in the air! Which motivates me to get started on some spring cleaning. When I’m freshening the house, I want things to SMELL clean and fresh. I’ve been making these DIY garbage disposal pods for a while now and they are a fast, non-toxic way to keep my garbage disposal fresh. (Nobody likes a stinky kitchen, right?!) Believe me,...
So, I finally jumped on the Instant Pot band wagon. I didn’t know a lot about what it was, but I knew my friends were making fabulous dinners in 30 minutes. And as a working mama, I’m always on the look out for fast and healthy dinner ideas! So I got an Instant Pot for my birthday and set off...
I know some people disagree, but I NEED creamer in my coffee. Need it! But I felt terrible about all the weird, non-food ingredients in the store bought creamer I was using. Now, I won’t pretend this recipe is healthy. BUT, I know what the ingredients are (I can pronounce them all!) and I feel a lot better about it...
My littlest one has long hair. And it’s a mix of crazy-wavy-curly, so each morning we have to tame the mess before school! I love DIY (only if it’s easy!), because I can control the ingredients and I know they are all safe and gentle. This is our favorite recipe using Young Living essential oils. It’s nourishing and helps with...
