How I started Working From Home
Just a few years ago, I was living 1,000 miles away from my family and we had two little girls who were 3 and 6 months old.
Month after month, our budget kept getting tighter and tighter… and I knew that I would need to go back to work to fill in the gaps. read more
Are you running out of ideas of toys for one year olds that will keep them busy? It’s so hard to keep toddlers entertained, today I’m sharing my best recommendations and 7 Top Toy Ideas for Your One Year Old they will LOVE!

I just got back from my appointment with my midwife – and I got to hear the baby’s heart beat for the first time!
EXCITING
So the baby likes to move… and kick… A Lot so that’s going to be more interesting as they grow and get stronger.
So I really have been feeling them for the past week! Crazy
As for me… my health is good but I’m still getting sick and dealing with nausea and food aversions. Some days are better than others
I have to fill out a food journal before my next appointment and I hope I can add more than the 5 foods I’m able to eat now (I wish I wasn’t joking )
This chocolate smoothie is what I’m able to get down most mornings. Thankfully its got great vitamins and minerals in it!
I told Adam I was already over pants so I went to Walmart for my Mother’s Day gift and bought some skirts and dresses
I would appreciate any prayers if you could!

One of the best parts of owning your own business is the personal development…
I fully believe that each year you can measure growth by the people you meet and the books you read. What is great is that as you are reading and improving your mindset, you are learning how to help others and reach your own goals too.
I had a few friends recommend reading Crash the Chatterbox by Steven Furtick. I thought that it would be a great book for a “Video Book Club” and here we are!
This video covers the first section of the book:

What are your thoughts?
Is it helpful to meditate on the Words of God to drown out the voices of fear and doubt?
If this was helpful, I would love if you would pass it on!
As summer days give way to fall, it’s back to school with busier schedules that can leave us with less sleep, less relaxing, and less sunshine and vitamin D. It’s no wonder your family can start to move a little slow, and even start getting sick!
Thankfully, I’ve got a simple healthy solution to help everyone stay happy and healthy in this busy time of year!
In my house, I am all about prevention – which just means to help our bodies fight before we even get sick! One of my secrets for this time of year is…. Defend.
DEFEND is a blend of several powerful essential oils that works to put your immune system in the best possible shape. With a blend of rosemary, eucalyptus, zesty lemon, and the rich spiciness of cinnamon and clove it’s got what you need to give your system the boost it needs! (Plus, it smells like Christmas and holidays, so it is the perfect scent for your house too!)
Here’s some of my favorite ways to use it around the house and for back to school!
1 DIY Hand Sanitizer Spray:
In a 2oz glass spray bottle, mix 20 drops of Defend and distilled water and shake well. Simply use it for sanitizing surfaces around your home or at school!
Pin this for later:
2 Diffuse with DEFEND:
Sleep is your body’s time to reset and reboot. This is the perfect time to use an Essential Oil Diffuser and diffuse while you sleep (both Defend and Chill are good for this!) This will help you wake refreshed and ready to face the day!
3 Cell Phone Clean Up:
Did you know your cell phone is one of the dirtiest things you touch every day? Spritz a microfiber cloth with Defend and wipe down your phone screen at the end of the day. Simple maintenance goes so far with keeping yourself healthy!
4 Don’t Be a Germ Sponge!
Speaking of germs, that kitchen sponge isn’t as clean as you might think. In fact, studies have found that your toilet brush might be cleaner! Do you want to wash dishes with that?! If you like to use a sponge in the kitchen, keep your essential oils nearby. Dropping 3 drops into the sponge and then rinse well with warm water will go a LONG way!
My husband says having the right oil around is like a personal defensive lineman that will keep our family going!
P.S. As a bonus, here’s a fall back to school blog roundup to help you get started with a BANG!
I talk with so many families (women and men) who are ready to make a change in their life – in their finances! but they “Have no Time.”
Over the past three years, I have realized that everyone is given the same 24 hours each day – it is up to you to make the most of the time you have… plus, there are some tricks to help you win even when you are busy!
Watch my video to learn if you can be successful even when you are busy:
I know that when I started my own home based business, I was a stay at home mom of a three year old and 9 month old… and because we were living 1,000 miles away from our friends and family, I had very little help. What I learned during that time was that I could get a lot done if I focused. Some may call it a power hour (you can even break it up into 15 minutes throughout the day).read more
