Finally....silent nights! !!!

I hesitate to post this, in fear that it may quit working. For the last 10 days I have had a diffuser and the Twins bedroom. It has had cedarwood and lavender in it and it runs for 3 hours in their room.

I started when we start reading books for bedtime and by the time their light has gone out , they are quiet and not jumping around and playing like they had been in the past.

It is amazing!

I usually put about 4 drops of cedar wood and 4 drops of lavender in the diffuser.

Tea tree oil and acne

I heard it,  questioned it and then tried it....it really does work!

I just dabbed a drop on the affected area before bed and it dried it up overnight!

Peppermint oil and ants

The ants are back!!!! They showed up before the snow even melted! 

Having a 10 month old crawling all over has reminded me of my love for peppermint water.   Every time the boys see an ant, they yell for the peppermint water and IT WORKS!!!!!! Plus we all love the smell!

It is super simple!

Filtered water
20-25 drops of peppermint oil

Put in spray bottle and mix

So easy, I know!

My new cooking assistant...

He loves to go find this specific bag, pull it out and push it around the kitchen while I cook.

Introduction

I have been "dabbling" in more wholesome, natural ways of living for the past 6 years.  I have found some great things that have become a part of our lifestyle and found some not so great things that don't.

With a hectic lifestyle, comes a lot of confusion and "where did I put" its....hence, this blog will give me a place to go to and see if I have tried something, did I like it and how I made it.
