Forgive me for being so behind on like... everything. I've been busy with my 2 littlest ones they have been sick with stuffy/runny nose's, fever and worst of all a cough. We actually took the youngest who is 5 months to the ER just to be sure it was nothing more than just a cold and not that nasty influenza that has been going around. With all those deaths that have been going around which were too close to home my husband and I were not taking any chances with our sweet little guy. So needless to say it has been a rough couple weeks... I mean it's OK to have showered... eh, maybe twice in 2 weeks right? Not to mention I've worn the same pair of leggings for about 3 days now... that's including sleeping in them, you think I'm kidding but oh no I am not.
So not only did our littlest get sick our next youngest also got sick or should I say still sick. They both have a cough and runny nose, but no fevers so I'm praying that the worst of it is over and we can start the process of over coming this. It has been about 2 weeks, I do say that is quite long enough. So as a mom of 4 with the youngest being 5 months and recently 2 years old and home schooling my 14 and freshly 12 year old life with sick babies is busy! Having sick babes isn't only the best part, we are also trying to redo our bathroom... our 1 and only bathroom. Oh yes that has been fun too!
I do have to say that our 12 year old daughter bless her heart has done most of the painting. Though she maybe only 12 she's truly more like a 30 year old. Completely more mature than her age. She helps me out a lot with the little ones.
Not only have the little's been sick but then I decided that I wanted in on this fun and I too became sick, nothing compared to how sick they were but a stuffy runny nose and sore throat all the same. I'm feeling much better. I feel that I have to credit my getting well to using my oils. Yes, I am one of those people. I have to laugh because I hear so many people say things about those who use oils like we are some hippy living out of one of those buses and who doesn't go to a "real" doctor when sick just lives off the land kind of thing. No, I assure you I am not one of those people and not there is anything wrong with those kind of people if you are those kind of people.
I guess I really started to change our lifestyle within the past few years or so. You can read all about it in my testimony
I just did a huge overhaul of our life and the way we live it. I guess I realized there is so much more to life than living the way we were. I want to leave my children with something other than my debt and junk. I want to leave them something meaningful something that is long lasting... at strong relationship with God I want to give them the gift of eternity.
So I got big into trying to live a good and full life free from any kind of health issues. This went really well.... considering having my appendix out and my gallbladder. Which I guess they came to find out you just might need your appendix... awesome. Just learning more about what we put into our bodies from what we eat to what we use to clean our house! It's crazy some of the things we use and the horrible things they put in them.
So then there were oils. I do a lot of reading and research on things. So I've looked into these oils and it's funny now that I'm older and have a family of my own that I've come to be into the more natural way's of medicine and such when all along these are the things my Grandma would do (thanks to being raised by my grandparents) I mean if you look at people over the years most of them lived to be fairly old, so I mean you have to think they were doing something right? Look at the statistics of people getting sick just within the past years.
In doing my research and reading other blog mom's I've learned a lot about oils and which kinds are the best. You have to be careful in buying oils to really read what goes into them. The best kind of oils to get are the rawest form of the oil without a bunch of extra things.
I know Young Living is fairly good oils to use as you can actually go to their farms and see where the plants are grown and how they are made. The best kinds of things to use or put in your body are those you can see how are made or where they come from. Well I did some research I have found that the best kind of oils to use are plant based oils. The kind of plant based oils that I have started using are Plant Therapy.
There is a box set of the top 6 oils that people use and a bigger box of oils with the link below. Not only are they cheaper than most oil's out there but the care and time they take to make sure they are giving you the best oil there is and keeping it 100% pure and natural. The percentage that something needs to be consider "organic" or "natural" is very small. So what is the other percent made up of? Fillers. Things that you wouldn't consider to be "organic" or "natural". If you would like to do some research of your own you can check out their page here. Get the oils from Amazon from the links below!
Since using oils I haven't stopped! I think since I've really started using my oils my family has been getting sick a lot less. And with this recent cold I and the little's have had it not only shortened it but kept the symptoms minor. I know it seems like 2 weeks is a long time for someone to be sick, but to be fair Asher has been sick for the 2 weeks Cohen and I for a few days and I didn't start the oils until the start of this week. So just by a couple days We are better. I mean the results really speak for them self.
My oldest has asthma and usually he will be sick for 2 weeks and maybe even lead to an ER visit and a stay in the hospital, but when I use my essential oils he's better in less than a week!
You can use most of the oils on your body, some are OK by them self but most would need a carrier oil such as coconut oil or almond oil, I've even used olive oil in a pinch. I usually diffuse my oils. Get my diffuser from the link below!
I love it! I got if for Christmas this year from my sister in law. It is a small one that changes colors so you can use it as a night light too! You can have it one color or have it change to different ones. When using these diffusers though I recommend using distilled purified or bottled water other wise you will have to clean it more for the build up which could ruin it if not careful.

If you have small children as I do you have to be careful which oils you use and diffuse with them. Some oils are much too strong for the little ones. So they make a form of the oils which are diluted and you can dilute them your self you if you like but be very careful. I usually just stay clear of those types of oils just to air on caution or unless it say's kid safe. You can check out this blog to download a guide to what oils is OK for kids 2 and under here. You can order the box of kid safe oils below!
Well thank you for checking back and I hope that you and your family are staying well.
Blessings,
