My schedule is full with several sports schedules, school activities, my business, etc…. When I was younger (did I really just use that phrase) I would excel when I had a lot on my plate. Now, I just get overwhelmed and forgetful. I am trying to keep a good calendar and not let myself get to busy and overwhelmed, but it may be crazy until school is over. So, I am going to need some extra help. I looked up Memory in my wonderful Reference Book and found some great suggestions!
Check Yo Self…
Ha! I kid, I kid. This post is about attitudes. We all have them! Sometimes our children’s attitudes are a reflection of our own. Ouch!
I want to tackle those morning attitudes before they even start so they can be ready for a great school year. We will use Young Living Oils to help in any way they can.
Being organized and prepared is a key player in my happiness so I’m planning it out. Read this to get some ideas of what you need to have on your essential oil supply list.
My Plan of Action:
Night before –
*Take our vitamins (Super C, OmegaGize – Fish oil, MultiGreens, InnerDefense, Longevity, Life 5)
*Fill the kitchen diffuser the night before with a happy blend of Orange, Ylang Ylang & Lavender and have it ready to turn on as soon as I wake up to let the dog out. This is usually before the kids are awake.
*Fill the USB orb diffuser with water for the car ride to school. I’ll let them take turns picking which oil to use on the way to school.
*Have lunches and water bottles filled.
Morning –
*Apply peppermint to wake up. Drink my MindWise, Ningxia Red with Lemon oil and have my quiet time! (check out Jesus Calling if you want to start a quiet time and don’t know where to start)
*Fill the upstairs diffuser with Citrus Fresh, Peppermint or my favorite diffusing blend of Lime, Lemon Myrtle and Peppermint.
*Wake up the kids.
*Everyone get ready.
*Eat breakfast or drink smoothie!
*Apply Thieves to the bottom of all of our feet. Put shoes on and go.
Have you started your Back to School shopping? I love new School Supplies.
Don’t forget to add Essential Oils to the supply list for a healthy, happy school year!
Quick Testimony: This past school year my kids did not miss school for being sick. Instead we took 2 days off to go to Disney World. This is huge!!! The year before my son missed so much school we got one of those nasty letters telling us he couldn’t miss anymore. He was sooooo sick, multiple times. This is why I am passionate about sharing Young Living Essential Oils with others. They have been such a huge change in our family wellness.

Summer is almost here and that means, bug bites, blisters and boo-boos are too, so lets prepare ourselves. Mix this up in a small plastic spray bottle and keep it in your purse, swim bag, diaper bag….
First-Aid Spray
5 drops lavender
3 drops tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
2 drops cypress
Mix above oils thoroughly in 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add this to 8 ounces of distilled water and shake vigorously. Put in a small spray bottle. Spray minor cuts and wounds before applying bandage. Repeat 2-3 times daily for 3 days. Complete the healing process by applying a drop or two of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oil to the wound daily for the next few days.
Peace, Joy and Oil
