sleep.tight

Sleep is vital to health. I know there are many people who struggle with sleep from all different aspects. Some have difficulty falling asleep, some have difficulty staying asleep, and some have difficulty just getting restful sleep. 

Today I want to offer an essential oil blend that is generalized. It will allow you more sleep despite what's preventing you from getting the amount of sleep you need (other than time, I can't control that).

Cedarwood relaxes the mind and body. Lavender is for a relaxing, peaceful sleep. Vetiver for calming and grounding effect.

Are you armed to take care of yourself and your family? Do you have the oils and other products you need to get the rest you desire? Contact me and I can help. I love helping people achieve goals they've been struggling with , or have almost given up on.

focus.is.necessary

This is probably my favorite blend of all time [at least for now].

I work night shift, and even though I have been doing the same shift for the last 8 years, I still struggle to stay awake. Not only that, when we have meetings and classes during the day, I have trouble with my mind wondering, because I'm thinking of all the things I'd rather be doing, or how I feel I could be spending my time more wisely.

So today I want to share with you my favorite blend of essential oils that helps keep me focused.

Peppermint & Wild Orange provide the focusing, energizing, and revitalizing you seek. Frankincense enhances the benefits of the Peppermint and Wild Orange. Making this a perfect blend to keep on hand. This is a safe blend to use on your kiddos too!

spring.craftiness

Someone's been feeling a little crafty!

A few weeks ago, a friend from work, and I got together and made Spring/Easter wreaths. They turned out so perfect!! Can't get enough of mine. My mama happened to come by my house and said, "this is one of the best & most beautiful things you have made so far!" I can't agree better!

A little later that week I made these adorable burpcloths! Ahh I can't get over their cuteness! I was able to make four out of the fabric I bought. So two will go to Tish, a girl I work with who just went out on maternity leave...I had wanted to make her something handmade for her baby shower but ran out of time & had to buy some store bought things, but now that I have these she'll be getting them in the mail soon for her & miss Avery! The other two will go to my sister-in-law.

Last week I tackled a little baby romper that will also be going to my sister-in-law & her baby on the way, Briella. I love it so much I don't want to give it away. But at the moment I have no use for it, so no since in keeping it. But I will be letting her know that I will be expecting it to be taken well care of, and wanting it back when I have a little girl! Spent too much time & energy on this little thing!! Not to mention this is the first piece of clothing I have made by myself! I found a free tutorial, and made a few adjustments. [Tutorial ]

 

 

Of course after I made her the cute romper I couldn't stop there. So I grabbed some onsies and sweetened them up with various designs.  I took hold of the whole ruffle bum; they're just so cute! I added a flower, an applique, a bow (Lilly's idea), and added a skirt to make a dress!

 

 

 

 

After all that I thought I was done....but I saw the cutest little halter and just had to make it. It's an apron halter, that is worn as such: place the top & straps under the babies armpits, in back criss-cross straps, bring over shoulders, pass through button hole in front and tie a cute bow! I ended up making mine slightly smaller than the tutorial I saw since her baby will be in the summer time around 3 months instead of 6 months. [ Tutorial ]

So now after all that you would think I would take a break....

I've been trying so hard to have at least one room in the house completed. Lilly's room is the closest to being at that point. So I've been finishing up a few things she still needed to complete her room. Pictures & Curtains.

 

 

 

 

Her room still isn't quite completely finished, but these are getting it there. We have her a night stand that needs cleaning and a touch-up painting, we're going to paint a tree on her wall, and hang a few shelves.....then I think her actual room will be done! Closet is a different story....we want to add some shelves along the bottom edge for toys & stuff.

 

I personally can't wait to see what else I have up my sleeve to get more projects done in the house!

 

 

Does Spring put you in the mood to be more crafty? What projects have you been working on?

 

you.can't.take.me.out

So yesterday I was almost taken out twice....

On the way home from work I was coming up an exit ramp and an 18-wheeler was coming over towards me and continued too after me honking multiple times, there was no where for me to go because the ramp comes onto a bridge. So I was getting closed in between a bridge railing and this truck with no where to go...

Next thing that happened was later that night. Jonathan and I were on the way home and a car was sitting at a stop sign off of a highway we were going down. As we were passing them they suddenly decided to start moving out into the road, Jonathan had to swerve (luckily no one coming the other direction) so they wouldn't t-bone us on my side of the car.

The devil was trying to take me out for some reason, I got something on me he does't like. But by God's power, grace and mercy I've been kept safe and will still be here to do his will on earth. Take that devil; you've got nothing on my God. You've got nothing on the army of angels here on earth protecting my Father's people. You can try numerous things to bring harm against me or any one of God's children, but will never prevail. You lost long ago, so leave me alone because you can't take me out!

Psalm 91
Psalm 34:19-20
God constantly protects those who acknowledge him and love him!
