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. :-)
Around here we are busy wrapping up the school year. I homeschool 3 of our children. In our state, we prepare portfolios (samples of student work) and have them evaluated by an Evaluator who then prepares an approval letter (supposing it's approved, of course) for me to submit to our school district. I have 2 of the 3 portfolios done--our meeting is on Friday! My other 3 school kids have their last day of school tomorrow! My oldest son (homeschooled) will graduate this weekend. So it's a busy time.
So how does this relate to Young Living? Well, here are a few of the Young Living products we've been using in recent days:
- NingXia Zyng. A soda alternative and a nice pick-me-up in the afternoon.
- My favorite drink (as I blogged about the other day) which includes NingXia Nitro
- My one daughter puts a bit of NingXia Red and a few drops of a vitality citrus or two in her water bottle for a refreshing beverage.
- En-R-Gee Essential Oil and Live Your Passion or Live With Passion Essential Oils - These are the oil blends I've been diffusing in our house this weekend.
- Protein Complete (Chocolate or Vanilla Spice). I use my immersion blender and blend it with milk, almond milk, or into smoothies.
And so, at our house, summer is beginning!
Today I enjoyed one of my favorite breakfasts. Creamy whole milk vanilla yogurt layered with Young Living Einkorn Granola. Yum!
Yesterday we spent most of the day outside in the sun and the wind. I made sure to take water along for my family to keep us hydrated. I fully admit, however, that my water bottle was filled with my favorite beverage!
First, I fill my water bottle 1/2 full of ice. Then I add 1 tube of NingXia Nitro, several drops of citrus vitality oils (yesterday I did grapefruit vitality, lemon vitality, and tangerine vitality). Finally I fill the bottle with water. Ahh...a nice refreshing drink!
Because Nitro is fairly expensive, my husband and I generally save it for ourselves...perhaps the day will come when we can allow our children to enjoy this as well. A few of them have helped themselves to my cup and love it too!
