How To Properly Dress Your Child For Winter In Montana

For living in a place so bitter cold, I really was never taught how to properly dress for snow.I had old snow pants with a hole in them, a Bulls coat, and boots that weren't really ...

Kid’s Summer Camping Checklist

Now that my son is getting older, we have started asking him to pack his own backpack for what he will need for camping! This has been an easy way for us to start only bringing what we really need. If he has to carry his own supplies and gear, he won't be over-packing! Over the years we have been ...

DIY Beeswax Food Wraps

I was first introduced to the amazing reusable beeswax food wraps at a craft fair about 8 or 9 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I cut down on waste, money, and I have to say they look rather cute! They replace single-use plastic wrap or foil and are a really cute gift, too! But over the ...

Affordable Serving Pieces Every Hostess Should Have

It took several years to acquire a decent collection of serverware, and I still have my eye on a few pieces. It won't happen over night (unless your budget allows, of course). The trick is to write down a piece you have been wanting and then make sure to look for sales, check out thrift stores, and ...

They were only a couple days old and so incredibly sweet! Some day we hope to have our own, but for now we will get our baby animal snuggles in at my in-laws.

I wasn't going to share this photo because I hones I wasn't going to share this photo because I honestly hate the way I look. My hair is greasy and pulled back, my face puffy, my eyes with mom bags. We had run errands all day and I was ready to go home and plop down on the sofa. But my heart is full looking at this because I know this little boy won't stay little forever. And I'm sure my days of getting him to take a photo with me won't last forever, either. I really do cherish these moments more now than ever before, because I know how fast time flies. 
Even if you don't feel your best, take the picture mama. You won't regret it. ❤

If I had to chose one thing we can't live without If  I had to chose one thing we can't live without during our homeschool days, it would be our essential oils. 
Anyone else??🙋‍♀️ 🌿
My kiddo has THE hardest time focusing on anything, even when it's just me and him in a room. He is a huge fidgeter, twirling his hair, tapping his pencil, looking at the ceiling, looking outside, wiggling his feet... this is all part of his sensory stuff I have mentioned before. It takes a lot of effort for him to get through a lesson some days, even with plenty of movement breaks and standing instead of sitting or squeezing putty while he listens. 
The one thing that does seem to help a bit is our oils. I am SO happy to have found the Kid Safe line from @planttherapy . [#gifted] We use Hocus Focus in our diffuser almost every day and the Study Time roll-on blend is amazing. (I loove the way this one smells) 
Liam will ask for his oils if he is struggling and I only wish there was this option for kids in the 90s. Liam would definitely be the kid the Dr recommends medicating if he grew up when I did. ☹ I remember the boys that were just like Liam in my class in elementary school. They were always in trouble because they couldn't sit still for hours at a time! Now that I have a boy that would rather climb a tree than sit and do copywork, I get it. 
Do you have a wild child who doesn't want to sit still ? Have you tried essential oils? Tell me your favorite oils/blends !
