Oils

Two years ago, I made the decision to take a more natural route with our family's health. I wasn't sold on the idea of essential oils for a while. I tried them, I liked them, and that was enough. It wasn't until I began reading labels, realizing how many unknowns we were ingesting that I finally stopped and took oils more seriously.

My kids were the reason that I jumped into this world. I want better for them. Their health is my main concern as their mama. Healthier bodies mean healthier, more fulfilled lives. 

Yes, oils are a trend, but they are not new. Young Living has been essential oils industry leader since 1994. 

Yes, we use these everyday. From attitude issues to zits to colds to cuts and bruises to calming the little ones down, we use these oils for every single issue in the house. 

Some of my must-haves, keep them on me at all times are: StressAway, Lavender, Thieves, Orange, Breathe Again, KidScents, Deep Relief. The list could go on & on. We love our oils. 

How this gets to be my job, leading 700 people, is beyond me. We are blessed, we are overwhelmed, and we are so pumped.

The First Day

I have THE most condescending daughter. I suppose I have no excuse. She is MY daughter. Sunday evening & all of Monday morning we begged her to stay home. We weren't ready for her to start school yet. She would laugh at us & say, "But Mama, remember the song from Daniel Tiger? Grooooowwwwn uppps coooome baaaack." We know we're coming back, you rat. You're missing the point.

I expected to be weepy. I really expected to cry. I didn't. I rolled on my StressAway oil in anticipation of being stressed, but all I felt was excitement. I was more excited for this kid than anything. I knew she would love having so many activities surrounding her. I knew she would love having 14 other kids to play with. And I knew she would be so distracted that she would forget we were at home waiting for her. I may or may not have, but definitely, texted #FREEDOM to a few people...

This kid could go on to be an actress & not think twice about posing for a million photos. I would guess I have a million photos of her after these 4 years. Literally.

So, while the first day of Pre-K wasn't as mushy as I had dreamed it would be, it would just as it should have been. This kid, hamming it up, getting irritated at me snapping more & more photos, her being distracted by the kiddos filing into her classroom, & then, yelling "Bye, Mama!" from across the room as she ventured into the classroom. It was perfect for her. 

Today is day 2, and I am currently in sweats, my milk-stained nursing tank, greasy hair. I have to drop her off at school in 30 minutes. I like to make an impression.
