There are so many articles and sources that say that essential oils are harmful to children. But I don’t think that’s true. Now I’m definitely not a doctor or a healthcare professional.

If you have been skeptical or worried about trying essential oils on your littles or even around your children this post is for you. I’m going to break down how to use oils, which oils are safe to use, which need to be used with caution, how to dilute them…

Right now I am knee deep in dirty diapers, laundry, dishes that need to be washed, and every other never-ending responsibility that comes with motherhood. I do love this season and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. But sometimes I just want to rest. A while ago I just wanted to find the answer on how to find true rest in this tiring season of life. And this is what I came up with—true rest doesn’t come from taking a nap or having “me time.” It comes from allowing my mind and heart to receive the Father’s rest. …

God is the creator of all things. He made so much for our benefit and to help support us when we need it most. One of those things are essential oils. No, God did not bottle the essential oils that you buy. But He did create the plant, bark, seed, fruit, or flower that it is derived from. And He created those things to hold special properties to help us support our emotions, boost our immune systems, heal our pains, and so much more. We can use essential oils for so many wonderful things. And we can know that they…

There is so much that you can do to simplify your life. And I don’t want to take you to the extreme of creating a capsule wardrobe, having every surface in…

You can read all the books, take all the classes, and watch all the videos. But you’ll never be prepared to give birth if this is your first time. Right now I am pregnant with our second. And during my first pregnancy I did all those things. I knew everything that had to do with the physical aspect of giving birth. All of that is so good to know and I’m definitely not telling you to not do your research in those areas! But what I believe is more important than knowing about the physical side to birth is knowing…

For me it has been important to keep my pregnancy as natural as possible and do things that will support my body through this time. I did a lot of research during my first pregnancy and incorporated many things through both that have helped me tremendously. And, from many requests, I have finally put together a list of pregnancy must haves for the natural mamas. So whether this…

Taking the time to rest during your week is so important. The Bible speaks on this in so many places and it is so important to God. He established a special day of rest to remind us just how important it is to Him. But if you’re like me, applying yourself to actually rest can be difficult. My mind is constantly going, there are things that I see that need cleaning, and so many responsibilities are just never done. So how can I find time to rest? The concept of rest is such a mental thing. If you don’t set…
