traveling with essential oils part 2

the day started off early! but it still was 5 hours before we got in the car to leave:(
once we we load up i had to grab the valor! my daughter said... mama why essential oils? i said... because mama is already getting stressed.
after we stopped for our first meal, hubby started yawning..... i grabbed lemon and peppermint.. 2 drops of each and rubbed on the back of his neck! energized he did not yawn again the rest of the day....
i on the other hand needed stress away half way though. Vittoria needed di-gize for belly woes.... well at 4 a biscut, a pancake, 2 chicken strips, 4 strawberries, and ketchup mixed in made for a full crazy post meal belly!
as we are aproaching our destination... a mear 10 hours since we left home. i am planing my arival oil spread... panaway, valor, and well will let you know:-)
