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...
There’s sooo much great information on incorporating essential oils for back-to-school success, I had to break it in to two posts. (Check out Part 1 HERE.) I saved the best for last…supporting those immune systems! Once they are back in school, we want them to STAY there. As a busy, working mom, there’s nothing worse than a 3am wake-up call...
I don’t know about you, but I am doing the happy dance that my kiddos are back in school! More structure to our schedule…we were ALL ready for it. This year my youngest started kindergarten, which means we have the convenience of dropping off and picking up from ONE place finally! But, it also means a big transition. New people, expectations,...
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...
Sleep! It’s the elusive prize that parents long for. Sleep was something I took for granted. I don’t mean just before parenting, but really something I didn’t think much about. When the crazy day is done, we fall in to bed, sleep as much as we can, before the alarm is ringing and it’s time to rise and shine again....
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,...
