So you've got your Premium Starter Kit. You've fallen in love with your oils (don't worry, that's not weird) and now you are wanting to expand your inventory. I love to hear this, because it's a sign that you are achieving your health goals and your life is getting better! That's so awesome! But which essential oils are next? That's a rough question. Since incorporating essential oils into every aspect of our lives, choosing even the top 10 oils to try after the Premium Starter Kit is a challenge. It will also be different for every person and every family....

I'm not an expert when it comes to essential oils. In fact, since I began to use them several years ago, I have made a lot of mistakes. I did not have anyone to help me or to answer my questions, but I was determined to achieve the results that I knew were possible. Thankfully, I have experienced those results, and I want you to achieve your own health goals with essential oils. My hope is that if I share my top 5 rookie mistakes to avoid when using essential oils, perhaps you can finder greater success, even faster than...

Several years ago, before my children were of school age, a friend who happened to be an experienced homeschooling Mom lent me the the book Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on The Gentle Art of Learning by Karen Andreola. At the time, my son was in a preschool program, and I think my friend saw my growing struggle with the idea of sending him to public school.

I know it's cheating, but I will often delay buying homeschool supplies and other necessities when I know that Christmas is just around the corner. Markers and paints, and paper, and glue make the best stocking stuffers! This year, however, we are already well-stocked with the usual art supplies and educational games, so I went on the hunt for some more unique and creative Christmas gifts for homeschoolers. I came up with some great stocking stuffers and gifts for under the tree! Let's Start with Stocking Stuffers 1. Insta-Snow Powder Insta-Snow Powder was a huge hit for us last year. We live in Texas, so...

Our reading of Paddle-to-the-Sea is such an interesting way to learn about geography!  We pulled out our map for Chapters 8 and 9, to follow Paddle's journey through the Great Lakes. Chapter 8 – The Largest Lake in the World In Chapter 8, Paddle drifts from the Nipigon River into Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world. The Great Lakes hold fun, childhood memories for me. I grew up near the Great Lakes and spent many days swimming in their beaches and playing on their shores. I remember looking out over the vast expanse of water and thinking to myself that...

We are just 2 days away from the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse, and I'm probably the only person left on the planet who hasn't bought the necessary glasses. It's a huge homeschool fail, I know. I see all the homeschoolers around me ramping up for the big event, drafting elaborate unit studies, inspiring excitement and anticipation. And me? When I finally get around to thinking about it, there are no solar eclipse glasses to be found. So, in true DIY fashion, we are going to make our own solar eclipse pinhole viewers. With young children, the solar eclipse pinhole viewers are maybe a better...
