my morning pick me up

ahhhhh, the sun rising shows the signs that its time to wake..... for my 4 year old..... it is literal!!!! We are a family of coffee drinkers...... yes my 4 year old gets "coffee" too.... but its chocolate milk;)  normally coffee time takes about an hour and we are slow to start anything. ...at least until i started adding the peppermint oil from my kit.... one drop in my coffee and i am super charged! Ready to get the day going!  In 3 days i have gotten so much caught up and done around the house! i love it! the taste gives me a throw back to winter,  and even when it gets down to the bottom of the cup it is blended wonderfully and delicious!

New life with Oils

Welcome to our life.  I am a stay at home mother of a 4 year old. Hubby and i have been married since 2004.  Between the 3 of us we have our share of ailments.....to name a few ..seasonal allergies, high blood pressure, anxiety, stress, muscle aches, skin issues, headaches, stomach woes, bug bites, sun sensitive skin.... and YES thoes are just a few!

One of the biggest problem areas has been sleep! our 4 year old is independant and head strong....... so nighttime has been challenging.  For years there had been arguing, kicking, talking, fidgetting,tossing, turning, waking all hours of the night. We also were enduring meltdowns, temper tantrums, time outs many times a day.......

My friend intoduced me to young living essential oils and one of there oil blends.... peace and calmimg. We applied 2 drops mixed with a bit of olive oil to the bottom of her feet 10 minutes before bedtime. That night she was asleep in 10 minutes and slept peacefully the entire night!  and for the last 3 weeks bedtime has been easy! 

No more melt downs, time outs, tantrums, no more kicking, screaming, we are all sleeping rock solid!!!! 

Then my friend told me about a new starter kit that was coming out with a diffuser in it! so I jumped fast and ordered it! I have been using the oils daily for 4 days now and they have incorporated wonderfully into our daily life! I will be posting step by step recipes for what i have made so far!  I can't wait to share our daily life journey with everyone!
these are the oils that came in my kit!
