Happy Hectic Holidays

Holy lord! Are you running around like a crazy person every day and crashing into bed every night . . . . yup, me too. The holidays do this to me every year without fail. I attempt to put up boundaries or try to head off the craziness but it only seems to get swallowed up by […]

Let’s Face It Second Saturday

Hey y’all! We had another Second Saturday meeting! This one was all about your face and it was awesome! Because I mean who wouldn’t want to know how to make their own beauty products to make their face just shine?!?! So let’s face it! Haha. But seriously essential oils are great for your skin’s health […]

Let’s chat

Ok y’all, let’s have a little chat. I began my oil journey just this year and I have seen some great results from using oils. J has pretty much thrown away the majority of his allergy and heartburn medicine. I have used them to get over some stressful feelings, some not so pleasant stomach pains, […]

Run This Way

I have a love/hate relationship with running. There are days that I can run for miles and enjoy every second and there are days when even looking at my Mizunos gives me an anxiety attack. But I still lace them up. I am not consistent nor am I a power house runner, but I do, […]

The Joy Challenge

My friend Shawna, another oily momma, challenged our group of oilers to put Joy on our heart for a week straight. Challenge accepted! Today is Day 1! I am in love with Joy but that has not always been the case. I first pulled it out of the starter kit and took a big whiff, […]

Back to School Second Saturday

Hey y’all!! We had our August Second Saturday!! This time we skipped some of our preplanned list and threw in a Back to School themed party. August is such a hectic time with summer break ending and being thrown back into the routine and the struggle of new teachers and new learning objectives. Aspen is […]

Put a little Joy on your heart

So yesterday as I was picking up my little ones from daycare one of the teachers said to me “I want to look like you! You have a sexy (no I am not gay) body! I can’t believe you look this great after a baby!” It threw me off! The no I am not gay […]

Pain Pain Go Away

My dad will be so proud to read this. He gets so mad at my siblings and me when we are gathered around the table for a meal, no matter the occasion, no matter the conversation, we will find a way to bring the conversation around to gas, poop or other gross bodily functions. He […]

Happy Fourth of July

It is the wee hours of the morning but we are up and watching Princess Sofia, all four of us in one small queen sized bed. So what is on the schedule for the wonderful birthday of America? Lots of relaxing and friends. My parents decided to visit my sister so we are confiscating their […]

Slow and bumpy?

Our kit has finally arrived and we have decided to start SLOW. . .  (I did rush out and buy glass water bottles for myself and J.) So we began with the allergy trio for J. Seems reasonable, right? WRONG! J has major allergy problems with grass, pollen, air, and pretty much anything in nature. […]
