I'm Back!
I had no intention of taking such a long break from this blog...but life sometimes intervenes!

In August we took a week long vacation to the beach.  We enjoyed our time away--some of it on our own, some with friends.  We missed having our oldest son with us but stalked facebook for updates on his time in South Dakota with Mennonite Disaster Service.

On the second-to-last day of our vacation, I came down with the flu.  I have not been sick for quite awhile and this hit me hard so I was not doing to much for several days, and only a bit more for the next few days!  That Thursday we started school--some of the children at a local school, some are homeschooling.

Last Saturday our son had an allergic reaction to something--we don't know what.  So we ended up in Quick Care to get him treated on Sunday.  While the medicines have helped significantly, I can still see the evidence of the outbreak.  It is a bit scary as we have no idea what triggered this outbreak (or a similar reaction at the beach).  Also this week 2 of our children were sick with whatever I had.  Our daughter is back to normal but our one son is still not feeling well.

I'm hoping and praying that September settles down and we can regain some normality in our life!  :-)

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.
