I am the gal who said I will only use the oils sparingly, and just those we absolutely need. Well, Can I tell you we NEED a lot of oils! Really. It was ignorance of the potential in those wonderful little drops that I said those things.  Guess what? My productivity and emotional health have greatly benefitted from an oily drop as well. So here are just a few to get you started on and happier and more productive life.  This is my go-to every day for myself and my son. It helps me with mom overload. For my son, he stays on task so much better and in general is more productive in every part of his life. Including things like keeping his room clean, doing his chores without my nagging him and completing school tasks he finds tedious.  I personally apply to the base of the brain and the crown of the head. Don't forget to sniff the bottle. Contains: Roman Camomile, Black Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and Lavender All of my oily friends...

One of my favorite things on earth is Bible study. I did my first study book while still in grade school. When I had my first child we lived far from family and I found comfort in my evening study time. I joined my first ladies Bible study about 15 years ago. It was life changing for me. .  We were a small group who prayed, encouraged and worked our way through Beth Moore's Breaking Free. I was hooked. The ladies were of all ages and walks of life and they taught me so much about living and loving and the Bible. Wednesday night we have a ladies Bible study at our church. We have traveled many journeys together in our classroom. In the last 12 years, our study has taken us through nearly every book of the Bible, in depth.  Some of the authors we have used are Beth Moore, Ann  Voscamp,  Francis Chan, Kelly Minter, Pricilla Shirer. These are just a few.  Pictured a Above are the books I had at hand. There are many more tucked away. I got...

This is the summer of transition and boy do I feel it. In one month both of my daughters will move out of state to college.    We had to take time out and escape to the country. I needed some time with my parents and sister and the kids did too.   Giant old magnolia. Rolling hills in all directions... Cicada shell hanging out in the secret garden. It's really no secret, but my son named it so. It is this neat little area with a trellis entrance under an old apple tree.  The sounds are so different away from the city. The Bob Whites were calling in the pasture, along with the cow birds. The hum of all the invisible insect life was amazing. One of the many treasures, a painting by my grandmother. I know it's a mess, but I was a spring roll making machine! This keeps me on track with my weight watchers. See that old cutting board, it has to be at least 50 years old.  One of the many beautiful pastures.  ...

Product Review Have you been looking for a safer, healthier deodorant? I have. Being a DIY girl I tried making my own but found the ones that had the consistency I liked had so much baking soda my skin broke out. I can say that armpits are a sensitive area and it really can make you miserable if they are sore, broken out, or rash covered!  I read a post from one of my upline that they use the Young Living Deodorant at night to help flush toxins! That was what made me go ahead and order the AromaGuard Mountain Mist Deodorant. One thing I love about Young Living is the full disclosure. You can read every ingredient right on the website.  I have been using it a month now, and I really like it! It smells nice, goes on smoothly, and works! It does feel a tad wet when first applied, but I had no skin reaction at all!  I have officially switched and will be trying the other scent soon.  I can't really speak to the toxin flush, but I know the ingredients all...

I know it has been a while since I have been on here. February has been a full month with visits to my son's specialists in Dallas, two birthdays and lots of pain for my sweet boy.  Some good things are happening along the way. For some time now our family has been trying to clean up out eating. We are eating less and less processed food and heavy meats, while we increased seafood, and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can read about the beginning of this journey here  Simple Does Not Mean Easy I know it's basic stuff and we are still striving. Some family members struggle more than others. If you were to look in on us you would see the lines are drawn boys vs. girls. My oldest has been doing the best, as she cut out all meat, sodas, and most processed foods. She loves seafood and vegetables. My other daughter is also a very healthy and wise eater, and more disciplined about exercise.  The whole family has been trying to get this one area right be...

If you are in my area, I will be doing some oil classes. See the schedule here  Got-Oils? website .
