21 years ago (Oct 26, 1995) I lost the most important man in my life, my dad to cancer. It didn't define me but it changed the person I am today. It was a lonely time, as we clung on to Hope. We hoped we would find a cure, a doctor who had the magic solution, a miracle. Sadly, we didn't get the answers we had hoped for. What I do know, is my Dad is in a better place and some day we will be

It's only 10:30 a.m. and I have already found three uses with Thieves Household Cleaner.  THHC is such a part of our daily lives.  Today I used it to clean my eye glasses-my bathroom mirror and my daughters earings. There are dilution ratios right on the back of the bottle.  Best part it's super duper concentrated so a bottle lasts a very long time.  I have

There are two great things in a person's life, the day you were born and the day you discover why. My "why" started back was when I was little. Helping my little brother get home safely from school, cleaning my sisters room, consoling a friend when her brother passed unexpectedly. Bringing a smile to my moms face.  I truly feel my passion is to help others. 17 short months

I recently attend the Young Living Silver Club in Utah (another post to come) and we had the opportunity to attend the annual Lavender Days Celebration. While attending I visited the vendor booths and decided I would try to find something for my girls. We have 3; Addisyn 8, Ainsley 6, and Ahlera 4. It isn't hard to shop for them but I wanted to get them something really special. I came across

"When you focus on all your blessings and the good of people around you, there's nothing to complain about. Nothing."  It is hard seeing those that forget to count their blessings.  Their pure focus is on negativity whether it be marriage, work, lack of sleep or kids.  Instead put all that negativity aside and focus on the good in life and begin to experience a life

I recently started a small business called Play2learn Sensory Packs. I run a licensed group childcare business out of my home and wanted to incorporate more play based learning. I liked the idea of a large sensory bin so I purchased a large sand/water table for outdoors and converted it to be our indoor sensory bin. At first the kids loved it....but after having the bin a few days I

As I sat at the kitchen counter tonight waiting for my hot water bath salsa to finish up I was working on pre-school activities I had started earlier and tuned in to the Valerie Harper special on TV...she is fighting terminal brain cancer and was trying to help her husband prepare for life when she is gone...they seemed like the perfect happy couple.  Why would something bad like this

At the age of 3 my daughter Addisyn told me she wanted to grow out her hair and give it to another little girl who doesn't have any. 3 years and 5 months later Addisyn is ready to cut her hair and donate it.   I researched companies that deal specifically with kids and came across the organization Wigs for Kids. Each year they supply 125-150 wigs at no cost to the children who

Another year has come and gone, my wish this year came true, to have family pictures taken with all 3 of our beautiful healthy girls, --thanks to a dear friend Chelsey M. for doing them for us-you captured some very special moments and I am sooo thankful for that. ------ Season’s Greetings! It is already that time of year to look back and reflect on what we have done, accomplished, how much

 I have a stone outdoor patio table that was looking rather dull. The last time my mom was in town she suggested using a car polish on it to shine it up -So today when it wasn't so hot and sunny out I began by cleaning my table then when it was good and dry I took a soft cloth and put on a Turtle Wax car polish-generously rubbed it in -in a circular motion. Then I cracked a Budlight

Tonight I am reminded how lucky I am to have 3 beautiful healthy girls. A few months back I saw a post on Facebook about a young boy named Brayden. He has been fighting grade 4 brain cancer since last May. His type of brain cancer is not curable and life expectancy is anywhere from 1-2 years. Last week he was put on hospice and as the facebook posts have gone it doesn't sound like he has
