    Thieves essential oil

    It is the most wonderful time of the year, right?  As a Mom,  one of the most obvious indicators of  this glorious season is the lights? The tree? The ambiance? No,   not even close. It is the …….germs. The sniffles, the sneezes, the fevers, the sour stomach.  It spreads like wild fire and man oh man, no thank you. Before essential oils it was something that we just sat and waited for. Watching, waiting. Enter Young Living. Enter THIEVES essential oil blend. This intoxicating oil blend is a combination of clove, cinnamon, lemon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary. But what makes is so freaking fabulous? The story of the thieves oil blend comes from the 15th century. In case your math skills are not common core specific…..that is a long time ago.  Like, a really long time ago. So…those thieves (stay with me here, the people…not the oil)… They  used this blend on themselves as a form of protection  during the plague. They used it to protect themselves while pilfering the dead and  dying. I mean, how is that for a bedtime story? the bottom line, it that it worked. And my friends, it still works today. It works better…

  • Tips For Turning a Sunroom Into a Playroom!!

    Finding an area in our homes to be a playroom can be a tall order, but also can feel necessary. You don’t want your kid’s toys, games and craft supplies to crowd the rest of your home, and having a dedicated space to keep all of this can reduce clutter and make cleanup easier. With that being said, most people don’t have a lot of extra square footage to dedicate to a playroom, but if you have a sunroom, it can be a good fit. Sunrooms aren’t usually used all that often, and they can be a bright, fun place for kids to play. Plus, they often have tile floors that are easy to clean up if there’s a spill. Start out by adding some vertical blinds or quality window coverings, which will help control the amount of light in the room throughout the day, and also help manage the temperature. From there, the following are some design tips for a playroom in your sunroom. Storage and Organization First and foremost, with any new playroom design project, having adequate storage and organization is important.

  • Aromacare Essential Oil Diffusers and Bluetooth Speaker!

    Essential Oil diffuser

    I’m obsessed with oil diffusers lately and each time I feel like I have the best one another version comes along and blows me away. The AromaCare diffuser has a Bluetooth speaker – so not only can I make the room smell cozy I can set the tone with Christmas classics! I know, right? The box arrives very simply packaged, the cord and instructions are in the units reservoir. Its so simple – all you do it plug it in and the Bluetooth seeks your device automatically. That being said I would have your phone, iPad or whatever device ready for pairing when you plug it in. Once paired that’s it, fill the reservoir with water and the oils of your choice. When you turn it on it will automatically pair to your device from now on. The unit has a light feature with several colors to choose from and a bright color setting and a diffused color setting or no light at all. The reservoir holds a generous amount of water and puts out the perfect amount of mist. This is my favorite unit so far! Definitely worth your money! Makes a great gift for teachers, office staff and…
