- I have my essential rewards (autoship) order set to process on the 2nd of every month.
- So the 1st of the month, I finalize my order.
- When I remember, I double check on the 2nd to make sure that nothing went out of stock overnight.
- Then within the next week, I go back into my order to start tweaking it for the next month. That way, if something catastrophic or crazy would go down in my life, my order would process and not be a duplicate of the prior month.
- The order would be a duplicate of the prior month if not altered in between.
- Then, through the month, I add or delete as I think of other things our family needs.
- Towards the end of the month, I go in and delete out any extras to bring the total pv amount to my desired amount.
- If necessary, I adjust my PV Assistant during the month. PV Assistant will add product to my order to meet my minimum PV that I set. If something I ordered goes out of stock, PV Assistant will pull something from the list I set up to make sure that I don't miss desired promo items.
- The 1st day of the month (for me--any day before your processing date) I take a look at the monthly promos to decide what my personal spending will be for that month.
- And then I wait--for my order to arrive and I start all over again!
- Oh, I will check a few days after my order processes to make sure it shipped. If it hasn't, I call Customer Service to see if there are any issues. This way I avoid missing out on promos due to a credit card issue or out of stock issue.
Enjoy your day!

The 1st day of the month is always an exciting day for me. As a member of Essential Rewards, I'm always excited to see what free stuff is available each month (based on purchase price). Because we do use a lot of Young Living products, I can usually get at least some of the promotional items free.
I found this graphic on one of the facebook team groups that I belong to...I love that some people are so talented with designing graphics! (Unfortunately, I'm not one of them--at least not yet.) Thank you "The Co-op - Community of Oily People" for this great design!
I'm most excited about the NingXia Nitro. I love Nitro--I believe in a previous post I mentioned how I make my favorite beverage, and Nitro is part of that.
Some of these promos are available to anyone placing any order that qualifies based on pv of order. Others (in this case spearmint and/or patchouli) are bonuses only available to members who have signed up for Essential Rewards (ER). If you are an Essential Rewards member, you can actually get all of these items twice! Once with a qualifying essential rewards order and once with a quick order.
It's a beautiful day here. The sun is shining! Enjoy your day!

So we survived the holiday weekend! Friday night our oldest son graduated from high school. We homeschooled him for high school and he worked really hard, getting all his credits in 3 years so that he could graduate a year early. Saturday morning everyone was at various places so I got some alone time at home to actually clean uninterrupted. I got so much more accomplished that way! Sunday morning we went to our community worship service, a yearly service coordinated by our church and another local church. Sunday afternoon/evening we hosted a graduation party for a son. Lots of fun despite the rain!
Young Living in our lives this weekend? Why yes!
- Diffused a combination of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint
- Daily NingXia Red for some of us
- After watching that Shannon Hudson video the other night (I mentioned it in a blog post this week), I put the oils from the Raindrop kit on my husband's back. I don't know anything about the Raindrop therapy technique, but just used the oils. He must have liked them because he wanted them again. :-) I may need to keep those oils together and handy!
- Tranquil Roll-on. It's my new fragrance of choice!
- Supplements--but that's a whole 'nother post!
Speaking of oils, organization of all of those bottles can be challenging. I like to have them in alphabetical order...I should do a post (with photos!) sometime and show you how I organize!
And as always, I'd love for you to join me in the Young Living lifestyle! There is a link to get started on this website.
Enjoy your day!

Last night I caught a Facebook Live by Shannon Hudson (a Young Living Diamond) about the oils in the Raindrop Kit. It was great! If you get a chance, look up Shannon (www.shannonhudsonyl.com) and check it out. She has a lot of great videos and I'm looking forward to learning more from her.
After watching her, I want to use these oils on myself and our family!
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. :-)
