It feels like fall is on the way (I knowwwww, it’s going to be like 90 by the weekend), but I’m enjoying this gorgeous day!

Young Living launched our fall collection today & it comes with a free diffuser!

Say a big welcome hello to fall with these fan favorites --
🍂Orange Spiced Cider
🍂Gingersnaps
🍂Cozy Cabin

While many fall-scented candles and air fresheners contain harmful chemicals that can pollute your home, these blends are made exclusively with good, clean ingredients straight from nature. All the goodness of an autumn candle with none of the toxins!

Curl up with these three autumn-inspired essential oil blends (and a free diffuser while supplies last!!!) reminiscent of crisp fall days and all the things that cozy season needs.

Oh, and Christmas Spirit is back in stock too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Grab it all from the link in the comments 🛍️

Hop over to my IG to watch & tell me what you think about the new bundle!

How it started // How it’s going... Homeschool Edition

We wrapped up our first semester of homeschool today. Holy moly, it’s been a roller coaster. I’ve wanted to give up so many times. It’s quite likely the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

But God... Isn’t that always where he comes in?? Where we are at the end of ourselves & we feel like we just CAN’T do it??

I’m doing the James study by with some of my friends, and each week God has spoken so clearly to me. Last night the message was so simple - one I’ve heard a million times, but it was so personal for me too.

When I persevere & trust God through the trials, it will certainly birth something within me. Something precious. Something that I would’ve never dreamed up for myself. Something precious is meant to come out of this. I trust that & believe it with all my heart. I know that God is using homeschooling to refine me & grow me - and our kids too. I have no idea what it’ll be, but I know it’ll be worth it, and that gives me hope as we continue.

Now, it’s not ALL bad! We have loved the slower morning routine & the flexibility of our schedule is AMAZING! I’ve enjoyed learning alongside the kids. Plus, we have homeschool friends in our neighborhood, and the kids have gotten to enjoy way more play time. There really are so many perks, and I’m so grateful for the sweet spots!

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. - James 1:12

Thank you to Kevin, my family, & friends who keep encouraging me & on the hard days. And to all of you homeschool mamas —- wow I have so much respect & awe for you!

I promised a bunch of you that I’d send over tips for weekly food prep, so here ya go!

1 - Pick 1 day per week to do your main shopping. You’ll save money, time, & brain power! We go again mid week to restock things like bananas & avocados.

2 - Wash it all at once. Once it’s washed, you don’t have to think about it again! We use Fruit & Veggie Soak - it’s so easy!

3 - Cut it all even if you don’t plan to eat it right away. I’m WAY more likely to make a salad if the ingredients are already washed & chopped.

4 - Let it all dry. We use old dish towels spread on the kitchen table. Removing moisture before refrigerating helps keep it all from going bad quickly.

5 - Store it! We use canvas bags, glass containers & even beeswax wraps to keep everything fresh all week.

6 - Bonus — this is also a great time to prep cooked items. We add quinoa & roasted sweet potatoes or squash to salads, so cooking them ahead of time helps so much. We are plant based, but you could also cook hard boiled eggs, chicken breast, etc.

7 - Now kick back & enjoy! You’re all set for the whole week!

I’ve realized that I’m going to have to be really intentional this winter to stay on top of my emotional health. Now that we are homeschooling & I’m working from home, it’s going to be really easy to isolate & get into a deep dark funk... I’ve made a few mental notes to help me stay sane over the next 4-5 months, and thought I’d share them with you 👇🏻👇🏻

⭐️ Prayer & Bible time first thing in the morning. Kevin has helped me stay on track with this since we started the school year, and I’m so thankful he keeps me disciplined. When I’m not engaged in my relationship with Jesus, everything is off-kilter.

⭐️ Getting dressed daily - even if it’s back into joggers & a sweatshirt, changing out of PJs, showering, & putting on a little makeup is a must.

⭐️ Oiling up! Sticking to my oil routine for emotional balance. I’ve been using Endoflex, Valor, Harmony, Joy, Awaken & White Angelica lately.

⭐️ Supplements! I am working on healing from adrenal fatigue & thyroid issues, so if I miss a day of my supplements, it feels like 2 steps back. Gotta have my B vitamins, D vitamins, & all the good stuff to stay on top of that emotional roller coaster.

⭐️ Healthy eating - just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Comfort food may feel good in the moment, but it sure doesn’t do any long term favors for us. Kevin has done a great job of keeping our whole food plant-based meals fun & enjoyable. I already proposed that we need to have a soup of the week to eat with our salads for lunch. (Oh yeah, did I mention that Kevin is working from home now too?)

⭐️ Friendships - alright, I’m a pretty solid introvert, so it’s entirely possible you won’t see me til spring unless one of us is intentional to set up a play date or girls night. But I am always filled up by time with my friends, so I know it’ll be important to make plans this winter!

⭐️ GRIT! In my business, in homeschooling, in relationships, in all the things, I can’t give in to the darkness that I know will try to pull me down. And I can’t do that without strength from the Lord!

I’m making this list to keep me accountable, and I’ll be praying these things over you too!

Huge huge huge thank you to the 2,500+ families who have supported our family business over the last 6 years!

It’s true, I literally do a happy dance every time a new customer or repeat customer orders through us!

If you shop for essential oils or products with clean ingredients from Amazon or other big box stores, think about how you can order through a friend or family member who is passionate about their small business and choose to support them instead. I guarantee you won’t just feel like a number when you order through me! 💗

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Harper took this selfie yesterday & it struck me hard how quickly she’s growing up... and then I find these pictures that she & Cullen took with their “kids,” and I breathe a sigh of relief that Harper still plays with her baby dolls & Barbies. Don’t let the neck tattoo fool you 😂, this girl is still 8 years old, and I’m in no rush for her to grow up!

11/12/2020

Gotta grab my energy boost! I realized I hadn’t taken my B vitamins or used Endoflex yet today, so it’s no wonder that I’m sitting here dragging. These 2 have been life savers for me as I am recovering from adrenal fatigue & thyroid issues, as well as just the normal mom-life (especially now that we homeschool!). 😍 Want more energy? I’ll help you find the best products at the best price!

Truthbomb from a friend, "By next week Facebook will be flooded with posts about sick kids and sick parents... We don't have flu season we have sugar season..."

Studies have shown spikes in sugar intake suppress your immune system. When your immune system is compromised, you are more likely to get sick. If you eat a lot of foods and beverages high in sugar or refined carbohydrates, which the body processes as sugar, you may be reducing your body's ability to ward off disease.

So what can you do to prepare?

1. Increase Vit D (use D3+K2 drops) or YL's new chewable!

2. Increase Vitamin C (my favorite Super C Chewable from Young Living and NingXia Red)

3. Increase your greens (my favorite: Multigreens)

4. Immune boosting oils like Thieves!

5. Kill all the things with Thieves Household Cleaner, Thieves Hand Purifier, Thieves wipes...

6. Limit sugar! There are so many great tasting options out there! Ask me, i'll be happy to share what I have found for my kids!

Will you survive Sugar Season 2020? 🤔 You can...take steps to prepare today! Don't be a statistic.

The flu does not have a season.

Your health is an investment, NOT an expense! Check out my daily supplement routine! I firmly believe that we should pursue wellness now so that later in life we are not paying for sickness! It’s just like Dave Ramsey says about finances - “Live like no one else (now!) so that later you’ll LIVE like no one else!”

Let’s get you started on a supplement routine! I’m here to help!

3 lifestyle tips for glowing, healthy skin!

+ reduce your body’s toxin load by choosing plant based skincare, cleaning products & other bath & body products
+ shift your diet away from added sugar, processed foods, & greasy food!
+ have your hormones tested! Work on balancing your hormones naturally with supplements, diet, & lifestyle!

You’ll find that you don’t NEED Botox & fillers when you’re addressing the root causes instead of the symptoms.

I’d love to help you come up with a plan to swap out your household products gradually! Let’s do this!

10/07/2020

Let’s chat about our skin!
+ plant based skincare & makeup
+ diet changes
+ reducing your body’s toxic load

Making these lifestyle changes gradually will have a dramatic impact on your overall health & your skin too!

You know how people are always asking pregnant women how they’re feeling?? Well the new homeschool mom gets “how’s homeschool going?” almost as often! 😂 And every time someone asks me, I have a different answer. This morning, I’ll tell you that we are somewhere in between surviving & thriving. We have days where there is a lot of fighting, but also days where we head off to the park with our books and take lots of play breaks. It doesn’t hurt that the weather has been gorgeous! 🍁 The kids are also loving the slower pace of life & getting to spend a lot of time with neighbor friends (see the note in Harper’s window 😂). We have no idea what next school year will look like, but I’m determined - even in the moments when I want to send them back to school - to use this year to grow together.

It’s easy to think that our lifestyle doesn’t have consequences, but seeing these pictures side by side is so encouraging to see that we’ve been doing something right! I came across the picture on the left (taken in June 2018) & was kind of shocked at how much younger my skin looks now, over 2 years later!!

Nope, I haven’t had fillers or Botox or chemical peels. I’ve continued to clean up my diet, use all plant-based ingredients in my skincare & makeup (thank you !), and I’m also more focused on naturally balancing my hormones.

All of those things have a ton to do with my skin. Our skin tells us so much about what’s going on inside our body.

💗💗 I’d love to help you start making these swaps! I’ll be chatting about all of this stuff tonight on my FB page - comment below if you want me to remind you before I start!

👋🏻👋🏻 hey! I’m not sure I’ve ever done one of these, so here goes!!

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m a first time homeschool mom & I loveeee all things holistic & natural - especially when it’s made by !

What you may not know about me is... 👇🏻

When I was in middle school, I wanted to be a romance novelist. I would write super cheesy stories about my middle school crushes that usually took place at church camp. I kept a diary through all of middle & high school - and I let people read them!! 😳😱 I’m embarrassed just thinking about it!

My husband & I met in college (Clemson 🐯 Go Tigers!) - he was a drummer & I was a majorette - yep super cliche & cute 😍

I’m an enneagram 3, and wish I’d discovered that about myself years ago. I spent a lot of years living in a shadow of who I was created to be & acted the way I thought I was supposed to act.

I’m a mama bear. When I discovered that our culture is marketed to like crazy with products & food that’s slowly killing us all, I went ALL IN to fight for our family to have safe & clean products & food. *For real, our generation has a shorter life expectancy than our parents’ - why do you think that is??

Our family went plant based in December. We are loving all the new foods we are trying & I can’t imagine going back! We identify as , though our friends love to call us vegans (yes there’s a difference!). 🌱🌱

I recently found out that my business (my sales + the sale of all of the amazing business builders in my team) has brought in nearly $4 million in sales since January 2015. 😳😳 If you have something you believe in, run after it! You never know how many lives will change because you said “yes!”

Boy adulting is HARD, especially in 2020, and I’m so grateful that my faith in Jesus is what guides me, not the constantly shifting winds of our world.

Did I cover the good stuff? What did I miss? Tell me in the comments something I may not know about you! I want to know! ❤️
