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

5 Quick and Easy Gluten Free School Snacks

Hey Everyone! As some people may know, our youngest daughter has been diagnosed with something called PANDAS syndrome. This means that in order to help her with some of the issues stemming from this syndrome, she has had to eliminate Gluten from her diet. It has taken a lot of trial and error to try and find some gluten free things she likes, but here are some of her favourites to pack in her lunch box for school! 1. Popcorn. We try to just make the air popped popcorn in the mornings, that way it is fresh for the day. But sometimes it is well worth the $3 for the Woolies homebrand popcorn that comes in packets. They also have the sweet and salty flavour that is always a hit in our house. 2. Mini pancake muffin bites. These are super easy to make and don't take long. Our daughter loves the Coles home brand I'm Free From Gluten range, so we just buy the pancake shaker bottle in that brand and pour them into a mini muffin pan. We add things like blueberries, chocolate chips etc to

A little update...

Hey Guys! Just wanted to jump on real quick and let you know what is coming up on the blog! We have our Large Family Laundry Routine coming up next and then a monthly meal plan for May after that. If you are enjoying reading our blog, thank you! My aim is to get at least 2-3 posts out a month at this point as we have a lot of appointments and possibly a surgery for my daughter. We also have a couple of birthdays in May so I might put up a Birthday blog as well! Thank you for being patient with me through this, and I hope you all have a great day! Much Love, Jacqui!
