Frankincense … A must!

This week we are spotlighting an oil known as the King of Oils because of its biblical references and the wide variety of benefits it offers.

I have tried everything!

  Skin. I wish our skin came with instructions on how to take care of it. Everyone has such different skin types  that it would help if we did have a "how to" for our skin. It is something that you hope your kids will not get from you if you have crappy skin like…

What do you choose?

  This question has been going around in my head these past couple of weeks. Life at the moment has been a little tricky. I had a trainer that use to say  "Choose your hard." What does that mean? At the time I didn't want anything hard. "You want me to do 40 push-ups in…

What to do with summer tomatoes?

I LOVE .... LOVE summer! Summer to me is pool, beach, swimsuits, hikes in the canyon, outdoor roasting marshmallows, and FRESH VEGETABLES!

Online Education

    This past year I kept my girls home from school and we tried out a little bit of home-schooling. What was really nerve-racking was the amount of fabulous FREE classes that are offered online.  I say nerve-racking, because which one do you choose?

Diffusing in the classroom

See for yourself......   Well-regulated levels of inflammation are key to good health. There are many systems in place within the body that regulate inflammation levels. An article in…

Quick Dinner Idea

Sunday's can be really hard for me. There is a  scripture that says, and I'm paraphrasing "Sunday is a day of rest." So why does that not apply to mom's? We get the kids ready for church, get them their breakfast....whatever else happens in between, and cook the family dinner. So as of recently I…

Morning Smoothie

I am so proud of my girls! I did a little home-school, and business combo lesson with them. I needed a video produced and edited for my business. So I put my girls to work. I like to make this Semi-healthy smoothie in the morning. I say semi-healthy because I use whole milk. I am not…
