If you are in the essential oil world you know education is everything. You have to be willing to vet through a lot of information and testimonials. This is why classes are so important!  I try to give at least two classes a month. I would like to do more and if I can I will. Usually, classes are in-home but sometimes we need to pack up and take our class with us. This week I did a class the public library with my oily mentor.  I didn't get to go to the YL convention this year but she did. While she was gone I prepared the power point, made the door prizes, set up the event and promoted! She soaked up all the great information and bought the new products samples!  So only home a few days from her trip to Utah, we met at the library and did a new products class. Here is how it went down.                                          ...

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 not a "how-to" post. It is a "you can do it" post. I am not an educational expert. I am a mom who managed to home-educate my three children.  And no one died! I'm not done yet. Two are in college and one is in high school (at home).  This home education thing is still a work in progress. Tailored to each child.  Disclaimer: Home education is not for everyone. There are plenty of families who shouldn't homeschool, and plenty who simply can't or don't want to. I am thankful for public education, and two of my children are planning on working in some capacity in the public education arena. I will say the beginning was daunting. My husband would say "if they fail, it's on you." I would think if they succeed it's on me too. :) He did support me, and they didn't fail. I did though. Quite a bit. There were times the kids succeeded in spite of me. I was an all in mom/teacher. The kids didn't need that though. I r...
