A day in the life with essential oils!


Hey everyone!

I have been using my essential oils for a couple of months now, so I thought I would share with you kind of like a day in the life essential oils version.
I think I underestimated how much I would use these oils and how much of a difference they would make in our lives. 
So here is a typical day of our family incorporating our doTerra oils.

6am: my alarm goes off to get everyone up and ready for school. I come out and put my motivation blend on my wrists and go to each room to wake everyone up. One of the kiddos have had a cough over night so I put a drop of Easy Air (Breath for US) with some Fractionated Coconut Oil on their chest. The kids get up and get breakfast while I get coffee happening. Today I also decided to put the diffuser going with a couple of drops of peppermint, lemon and frankinsence. This is a blend to help with getting moving in the morning and smells so good. 

7:30am: The kids are ready for school so they line up to get the InTune roller on the back of their necks and they are off to school!

8:30am: I get back home and get a load of laundry going. I have made my own washing powder with Purify and Lemon essential oils which makes the washing smell amazing. This is the start of my morning routine and doesn't take too long to get done. 

10am: I have a headache starting to bug me a bit so I get out my keychain oil carrier and put some diluted peppermint on my temples which takes it away completely within 20 minutes. 

5:30pm: It's time to put dinner on and for the kids to start settling down so the diffuser gets put on again with a blend of Balance, Wild Orange and Frankinsence. 

7pm: Time for the kiddos to get ready for bed, so on goes a diluted Lavendar oil on thier pillows. This helps so much with my 8 year old who really struggles to get to sleep. She now stays asleep all night so I will call that a win!

This is a typical day using our doTerra oils. They really have changed the way we live for the better.
I am not selling as yet however this may change in the future. 

Thanks for reading!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at ...

My New Toy!

Hey Everyone! A couple of months ago, my thermomix started to not work very well (so not happy about this). I talked to the Thermomix Customer Service who said to send it in for a service and to get checked. I use my thermomix all the time, so if I was without one for so many days or weeks, I would definately feel it.  So we talked about it, prayed about it, and decided it was time for a new TM6! And.... I am still getting used to the new format in the TM6, but so far it has been AMAZING! As of Sunday night, I have made a couple of things apart from the delicious veggie stock paste the lovely consultant made with me at the time of delivery. As always, the thermomix custard is the easiest and most delicious custard recipe ever, as well as the basic muffin recipe on the guided cooking platform Cookidoo. The muffins were choc chip (having a special needs child in the house, foods can feel repetitive but neccessary at times), and the recipe said it would ma...

Taking a stab at FREEZER COOKING!

Hey Guys! One of my favourite things to watch on YouTube is (obviously) meal planning and freezer cooking videos. I love these videos because they give me inspiration in the kitchen... and without it, I tend to do the same set of meals over and over. I'm not sure why I have not been able to get into the routine of doing freezer meals on a regular basis, however this time around, it has been relatively simple and no pressure. One of my favourite YouTubers to watch on the topic of freezer cooking is Jamerill's Large Family Table . She has put together a few packs with a bunch of large family style freezer cooking meals and they are amazing! Check it out by following the link to her YouTube channel and she has the link on her page. Some of the recipes I have been able to make for the freezer meals include: Banana Bread (3 loaves) Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan (can't wait to try this on the weekend) Slow Cooker Broccoli and Beef (this was a big winner with the kids -...
