using essential oils internally
Yes, you read correctly, I use doTERRA Essential Oils internally. You do too without realizing it. When you add a peppermint leaf to your tea, add fresh oregano to your spaghetti or when you sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal. You can do all the same things with essential oils. Essential oils are used for health…
what to do when the kids outgrow it all
As much as I ask my kids to stop growing they just won’t put a halt to the getting older and bigger business. At times I have toys, clothes, and books coming out of my ears and it’s not a pretty sight… After almost 11 years of parenthood I have gotten pretty good at finding…
revlon 1875W compact travel hair dryer :: cheap, powerful, lightweight
One of my least favorite things to do is blow dry my hair. I feel like I might die of boredom or a stiff arm. I recently saw a post and video from The Smalls Things Blog and Kate had an honest review that the Dyson $400 dryer wasn’t actually as amazing as one would…
such a simple way to keep track of my kids without a cell phone :: why didn’t i think of this before
I’ve really been dragging my feet about getting my kids a cell phone. It’s so rare that they need to get ahold of me and there isn’t an adult around that it seems silly to get a cell phone. At the same time, they love to play in the neighborhood with their friends and I…

never forget 9.11.01
Millions of Americans went to bed quietly, last night, with no thought that this morning their lives would be changed forever. Last night, hundreds packed flight baggage that they would never open. Thousands fell asleep next to their loved ones for the last time. 17 years ago these people would wake up for the last…
my favorite chocolate chip cake :: cake mix hack
I’m not a huge cake fan. Give me a fresh baked cookie or brownie and I’ll be your biggest fan. Cake is okay, but has a tendency to be dry and I don’t like frosting, so that can get a little tricky. But THIS cake. Oh, friends, let me tell you. It has no frosting…
