Our Best Life

It's summer vacation time. School's out and families are heading out to the beach for fun and relaxation. Have you ever stopped to wonder why the beach is such a popular destination? It's a great way to escape the heat. It's definitively a joy to watch your children play in the water while you dig your toes in the sand. But for me, it's more than that. The beach is the place where I can truly relax - where the mind and body are so completely at rest that not even a single thought can interrupt the peace of the...

In the summer of 2016, our family took a road trip to Utah to attend Young Living's International Grand Convention. We love road trips, but this one was extra-special as we were planning a stop at the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, Utah. As a family, we had been using Young Living essential oils for a couple of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we had fallen in love with them. So, our visit to the Young Living Lavender Farm was an experience that I'd been really looking forward to with an enormous amount of...

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...

I've been trying to be a little more conscious of what I am feeding my children.  We're far from perfect, but each year, when I look back, I can see that all of our small, baby steps add up to really big changes that can only be of benefit to our family.  One of these little steps that I've been working on is decreasing, if not eliminating processed sugar. So, imagine how excited I got when I found this simple and healthy jam that even your kids can make! It's just three healthy ingredients, and Clark and Luci LOVE it. Clark...

Clark and Luci have been loving watercolor paints recently, and I've been learning to make cards on my new Cricut Explore Air 2 that I got for Christmas. Today, we decided to combine our two current obsessions to show you how to make a St. Patrick's Day rainbow watercolor paint card for Clark and Luci's grandparents. We will be spending St. Patrick's Day with them, and what better way to them how excited we are to see them, than with a card for the occasion! Here are the supplies you will need: Heavy Watercolor PaperWatercolor PaintsPaintbrushBrown and Black Construction PaperGlueGold PaintBlack SharpieCricut...
