We are a homeschooling family and one of our favorite subjects is nature study. I’d been eyeing a local nature preserve for a while for its natural science museum, great trails and homeschool educational programs, but what finally pushed us to go was their Dinosaurs Live! exhibit. This is a series of 10 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar at you as you walk along the exhibition path. The children absolutely loved it. Once home, after our visit, the children found a documentary on dinosaurs and were especially interested in the baby dinosaurs hatching from eggs. I love to get the kids...

I've heard it said that when you don't like the smell of an essential oil, your body actually really needs it. In this case, I tend to believe it. When I was first introduced to Cedarwood Essential Oil, all I could smell was filthy, dirty socks. Definitively NOT my favorite oil! At the time, I was beat down, tired and worn out. I was working 12 hour night shifts and was homeschooling my children. I had long ago lost the ability to nimbly bounce between days and nights. This was playing havoc on my body and I literally felt like I was falling to...

If you love essential oils as much as I do, I am willing to bet that you have a list of essential oils that you don't want to leave home without. I have a little case of oils that stays in my purse - it's my little travel pack for everyday needs, emergencies and for sharing with others. I never leave home without it. It would seriously be the equivalent to leaving my home without my wallet or cell phone. You know that feeling of borderline panic? Yeah. That. With summer coming up, I know many of us are planning family vacations,...

If you are human and if you are a Mom, you’ll know what I’m talking about here. You know those days where everything goes wrong? I mean EVERYTHING. As an example, this is literally an excerpt from a recent day of mine -  I woke up to the children arguing. I got up to get some breakfast made and dumped the entire carton of milk on the floor. As I realized that I was out of eggs, I burnt the toast. The day went on and of course homeschooling was a freaking disaster. The laundry was piled so high on...

I know there are a million great playdough recipes out there. Each recipe has their own little spin on it to make it unique. Well, friends, you are not going to beat this one! This is how to make chill out playdough with your essential oils, and I'm going to guess that you Moms will especially love this recipe as summertime approaches. Essential oils are big in our family. I use them for everything, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! We use them when cleaning the house, cooking, supporting our physical health, mental health, even our emotional well-being. One of my favorite...
