Our Best Life

We all know that Young Living sets the world standard for quality and purity, but this doesn't just apply to their life-changing essential oils. Did you know that Young Living has food? We're talking healthy, delicious, nutritious food, that you're going to want to stock in your pantry every month! One of our favorite food products from Young Living is the einkorn flour. Einkorn is one of the oldest varieties of wheat, dating back to the beginning of time. It is not hybridized, like modern wheat. In fact, it contains only 14 chromosomes, as compared to the 42 found in modern...

I have never considered myself a “crunchy” or "natural" sort of person.  In fact, as a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, fully immersed into the medical model of thinking, I was quite scornful of anyone who would even consider alternative therapies.  I'm embarrassed to admit that never once did I ever consider that many of these natural options could possibly be effective! Never once did it occur to me that these time-tested solutions, handed down from family to family, friend to friend, for thousands of years could possibly be the answer I was looking for! What a shame that...

I met the Oola Guys a couple of years ago at a company convention.  They were in the Expo area, where all day long they were busy sharing their message, their book, Oola, Find Balance in an Unbalanced World, and snapping crazy pictures with their fans.  I didn’t know what exactly their message was, I had never read their book and I was not a fan. However, I was curious and wanted in on the fun.  So, despite their resistance, I convinced a couple of my friends to stand in the line for a picture. It was at the end of a...

I don’t know what rock I’ve had my head buried under, but I’ve just recently discovered the power of personality tests and I wanted to share with you how to use a personality test to make homeschooling a breeze. We have some strong personalities in our home, starting with my husband and I, so it’s not surprising that my two sweet children can get pretty feisty at times. Knowing how to handle the growing personalities has been a struggle for me. These little humans didn’t come with an instruction manual, yet they often seem to know exactly what to do to get...

We live in Texas and it really doesn’t snow much here. It occasionally hails. Sometimes ice falls, and our entire world shuts down until it thaws. That’s always fun. But I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen it really snow here. Not the beautiful, soft snow that I remember from my childhood, growing up in Canada. You know the snow that creates a soft blanket that muffles all sound? The kind of snow that doesn’t fall, but actually floats down so gently from the sky. Or the kind of snow that crunches under your boot. My children have never experienced that ideal...

I’ve officially now seen a wedding invitation on Facebook. Is this what the world is coming to? I know I’m getting older and sometimes I don’t get the younger generation, but this was a bit much. So much of our communication is done by text and social media. I can’t even deny that I’m a part of this. It’s so much easier to have a conversation via text at my leisure (meaning when the kids aren’t being hoodlums) than hiding in the bathroom with my phone while they pound on the door. Who chats for hours on the phone anymore? Who writes...
