So yesterday my kids wrapped up their last day of school, and we are on to summer vacation!  Today we woke up to cool, windy, rainy weather.  We have one of those rare, completely unscheduled days.  So exciting!  I'm planning on taking the kids to the library at some point today--necessary as I have books due that have already been renewed!

As is mentioned in the "about me" section of this website, I have a bunch of kids.  Unfortunately, they woke each other up this morning and were, um--disagreeing, very early.  This mama is never very impressed when her kids wake up early, taking up that time on her schedule that is designated for coffee,  Bible & prayer, and checking email/facebook/blogging!  So what did I do?  I went and found my Young Living Tranquil Roll-on to encourage my emotional well-being.  I got the boys settled (small building toys to the rescue) and went about what I wanted to do.  They played calmly for a while and now are eating breakfast.

Now I'm considering what I want to diffuse as we'll all be inside today.  Is there something I can diffuse to promote children cleaning the house?!  :-)

Enjoy your day!

P.S.  Oh, and the house at the top of this post--not ours!  It was the home of our 15th President, James Buchanan.  I homeschool a few of our children and we visited it on a field trip.  :-)

Meet Karen Sauder

 
Welcome!  My husband and I are currently the parents of 7 children.  We live on a few acres in the country.  My husband is a truck driver who drives regionally.

I took the (skeptical) plunge into essential oils in December 2014 and haven't looked back.  While we started with using the essential oils, over the past years we have embraced the Young Living lifestyle.  We have switched to their supplements.  We have ditched the cleaning products that we used to buy at the store and buy their toxin free cleaners instead.  We use their laundry soap.  So many great products!

When I began this journey, I had no intention of making a business out of it.  One of the things I love about Young Living is that there is no obligation to sell anything, ever!  However, I did unintentionally end up with a team under me of others that I shared the oils with.  And they shared oils with others.  So here I am...taking the plunge into the business side.  I have no desire to "sell" anything.  But if you're here and interested in the Young Living lifestyle, I'm happy to share it with you.  And this site makes it easy for you to learn more about Young Living and take the plunge with me.
