It's not easy to sift through the mountains of information when it comes to choosing a quality probiotic. The probiotic market is growing rapidly, and is expected to reach over $65 billion in the next 5 years. This is because more and more people are taking control of their health, and insisting on preventative measures rather than sick care. Even the medical and nursing fields are recognizing the contribution of probiotics. But how do we know which probiotic is a quality supplement? How can you make sure your probiotic is working? Probiotics are alive, but they are fragile little creatures and...

Happy Valentine's Day, Friends! For some random reason this year, my children have become obsessed with Valentine's Day. For weeks now, they've been asking me, "When is it Valentine's Day, Mommy? When is it Valentine's Day?" They never mentioned a reason for asking, but I started to think that maybe I needed to step up my game a little to meet their expectations. This usually involves crafting, so we decided to make some Love Bug Essential Oil Diffusers for ourselves and our friends. Our Love Bug Essential Oil Diffusers are super simple, made with some clothing pins and pom-poms. I found some wide clothing pins...

Anyone here a fan of Valentine's Day? I stink at Valentine’s Day. I never know what to give my dearest husband, so his gift usually ends up being some awkward card. My kids, on the other hand, spend weeks creating all manner of Valentine’s Day crafts. I’m sure the intention is to give them to my husband and I on Valentine’s Day, but they never even remember to. I’ve seriously considered doing the same thing for my husband. For this Valentine’s Day, I thought I would be a little more organized, and take care of the parents’ gifts and the Valentine’s Day...

I've been enjoying the antioxidant drink NingXia Red from Young Living for several years now. If you haven't had the opportunity to try it, it's a delicious drink. It's base is the wolfberry and it contains pure Orange, Yuzu, Lemon and Tangerine essential oils. I drink an ounce or two every morning and afternoon to energize, fortify, and revitalize my body, while supporting overall health and wellness. Even my kids love it! NingXia Red is far from just another "energy drink," in fact, I cringe when I hear those words. Although it does provide sustaining energy with the combination of wolfberries and...

I love a good DIY. With two kids who love to get messy, a crafty project in the kitchen provides us with some quality time and entertainment. Our most recent project was to make kid-friendly, toxin-free air fresheners! Now, I'm going to be honest, I don't normally think: "Why don't we whip up some kid-friendly, toxin-free air fresheners?" I was really just thinking we'd make some salt dough ornaments because the kids love cooking and painting. But our project evolved into air fresheners and WE LOVE THEM! The Usual Salt Dough Recipe 2 cups flour1 cup salt1 cup water Mix the ingredients together in...

In our family, essential oils are a part of our everyday lives. We use them for everything imaginable, so it only made sense that when we started to homeschool that we would learn how to use essential oils for school work. At the time, I knew very little about essential oils and their many benefits, so I simply began diffusing essential oils while we homeschooled because they smelled wonderful. We would get up and as we ate breakfast, I would diffuse the awakening and invigorating scents of Lemon and Peppermint. It is pretty much impossible to be in a bad mood when...
