My most used essential oils!

Hey guys!

This week I thought I would share with you my favourite essential oils and what we use them for!

First up: Peppermint. I have always been prone to getting headaches since I was a kid, so keeping Peppermint in my keychain kit (which I do not leave the house without) is essential. This is diluted so it is safe to use at anytime. I simply wipe my finger across the top of the bottle and rub it onto my hairline at my temples. This really helps with the head tension. Whenever I do use the Peppermint oil, I also have a drink of water. Staying hydrated in the heat we are experiencing here at the moment is so important. 

Next is On Guard. This a must when sending kiddos to school or anywhere they will come into contact with other kids. Once again, this is one of my keychain oils and goes with me wherever I go. It is diluted as well so it is safe to use on the kiddos. I put this on the kids before they leave for school. Especially after my daughter came home saying that most of the kids in her class are sick. She, however, has stayed healthy! I also diffuse this a couple of times a week but also whenever the kids have had any sign that they may be coming down with something. 

Purify is also a favourite of mine. It smells amazing and it does such a good job keeping all of the nasties out of the air in my home. I also put this in my homemade washing powder and it works a treat on the clothes as well. 

Next is Lemon. Lemon is one of those oils that a) smells amazing and b) is extremely versatile. This also goes in my washing powder. It blends well with Peppermint and Frankincense for a great morning wake up blend in the diffuser. Lemon is my daughter's anchor oil. She takes an empty bottle of Lemon with her to school whenever she is having a bad day with her anxiety. She just opens it up and inhales when she is having a moment. Lemon is also great for cleaning.

Ice Blue has been AMAZING for our family! We have a gymnast, a futsal star in the making and someone who had to go back to a very physical job. This is the first roller that we had to refill. We have the rub as well, which works a treat for us. 

Digestzen. It is a life saver when it comes to tummy issues. This morning, my 8 year old woke up with a sore tummy, so I just grabbed (once again one of the keychain oils) the oil, and rubbed it in a clockwise motion on her tummy and she was fine for the whole day. 


My motivate blend. This is one my friend made up for me a while ago so I don't know exactly what is in it, but this works so well. Whenever I find myself not doing much with a to do list as long as my arm, this oil saves me. I rub the roller on my wrists and inhale and away I go!

InTune! This stuff is amazing at helping to keep the kids focused at school. This also goes on the back of my neck when I am having trouble focusing! (I am a total squirrel ;)

So there are my most used oils! I do use a lot more, but these are the ones I use on a daily basis.

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 ...

Day in the life

Hey Everyone! As a busy mum of 4, I am pretty much on the go all day. So I just thought, maybe, I would share what one day is like for me. Before I get out of bed in the morning, I like to read one chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is such a good way of making sure I am reading God's Word daily because it has 31 chapters - a chapter for each day of the month. This way, while I am going through my morning routine, I have something godly running through my brain instead of the chaos of whatever I have on that day.  Next up is coffee... after making sure my teenage son is up and getting ready for the day. I am super lucky because my Mum also lives with us and she gets up a little bit before me and has my coffee ready and waiting for me! While I drink my coffee, the news is generally on in the background. Because my kids are all older, pretty much all I have to do is make sure they are waking up when they are supposed to. Although, one of my children needs a bit more support in getting rea...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
