I birthed a son and a daughter who are both teachers; they are amazing too. Keep us posted on how that goes. I think it will be wonderful therapy for you. And your pies!!!! Oh my goodness. They look perfect! I think of you often because you know two of our granddaughters are adopted from Guatemala. I think of your mom too!!! God bless you, dear Jen. My daugher is Jen also!!!

Because that's what we need, a little extra FUN in our lives!<br /><br />I'm happy the oils are helping you sleep better and feel more balanced at work. Thank God for the little things, which can be so big! Eucalyptus is one of my all time favorites. It reminds me of my grandma. I LOVE your combinations! I'm about to become a rip off artist, (hope you don't mind. What do they say, imitation is the best form of flattery?) especially the eucalyptus/mint scrub! I'm in love! Thank you <3<br /><br />When I read the million dollar question, I had a question of my own? I'm wondering if the person who asked, runs? I can see where they're coming from, but for me, every time I run (which is 1 one millionth the amount you do) I gain perspective on difficult or troubling thoughts. Maybe something I was stuck on, or that was bothering me, or that I couldn't quite wrap my head around throughout the day or week... all the pieces come together.<br /><br />Running has always held an important role in your life. It's obviously serving an especially vital one now. I say if it feels GOOD and it's not hurting, JUST DO IT! ; ) ; ) ; ) <br /><br />I love you girl!<br /><br />Jen<br /> Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455367671890571478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-17484442390261133562015-05-22T08:28:09.076-07:002015-05-22T08:28:09.076-07:00Hi Heather! Thank you for your comment! I'll h...Hi Heather! Thank you for your comment! I'll have to keep the lavender in mind for cuts, bug bites, and blisters! I have a question though? I've been diffusing lavender every other night for a little over a week and finally stopped because I noticed every morning I did, I'd wake with a scratchy throat and slightly congested. I only put two drops in 350ml...unless one or two more accidentally fell out. I do shut the doors that go to our bathroom to make the space smaller too, but wonder if it just doesn't work for me? Hoping another will work better, I bought one called Balance.<br /><br />I'm a mosquito magnet, in fact, Dave's calls me his repellent. He used to say I was his first line of defense and Aviana his second. If we both weren't around, he was in trouble! I'll definitely have to order some lemongrass!<br /><br />I love your daughter's comment, for many reasons, because it's adorable and because she's growing up knowing how to cure without chemicals! How great is that! I think about when I grew up. I was a walking aerosol can of hairspray, mosquito repellent, and much more ; ) <br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455367671890571478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-85612574575379709112015-05-20T16:52:08.267-07:002015-05-20T16:52:08.267-07:00I'm a PIE girl!!

Because I cant even get a bite :( Oh, how I wish I could just get one , or two or.....!! I CAN and WILL eat a whole pie by myself!! Maybe someday (I can dream) I'll get to eat one of your pies, who knows, right? RIGHT!!<br />I'm jealous of those that get to eat them, and then you always manage to put the pie pictures up ,when I check on your blog late at night when I'm up to no good, like looking for something chocolaty and gooey :)<br />How does it go? If you're happy and you know it, bake a pie :)<br />You're just an amazing girl, that manages to pull herself through, how tough that must be. Take your time and handle yourself with care, your tough yet fragile, go slow, yet stand proud of how you cared for that little angel, Aviana.<br />Lots of hugs,XOXO<br />cindy in ncAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-36306859248611472562015-05-20T10:16:43.785-07:002015-05-20T10:16:43.785-07:00I'll have that buttermilk pie that I had at yo...I'll have that buttermilk pie that I had at your house so many years (or so it seems) ago.

I have "lost" things for the first time in my life (read, hide it from myself REALLY well).<br />I too started using essential oils and come to work BATHED in eucalyptus and lavender. I felt like it kept me more level at work as the work world didn't offer me time to manage what I was dealing with. I wear them behind my ears for work and on my pillow at night and I do swear that eucalyptus (with mint or lavender) does help me sleep more soundly and keep me from losing my mind at work. This year, both my Mom and I made sugar scrubs. Eucalyptus mint and vanilla lavender are def my favorites.<br />I suspect my signing up for way too many running races is the equivalent of your baking, but I did have someone ask me lately about my running.....what are you running from? <br />million.dollar.questionMrsVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998336437014750206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-71581293282427896142015-05-19T05:59:19.461-07:002015-05-19T05:59:19.461-07:00Hey there! We use some essential oils...and those...Hey there! We use some essential oils...and those we use I feel like they work. Lavender is relaxing for diffusing, or in a small pillow when we sleep, but we use a mixture of lavender oil and safflower oil for cuts, bug bites, blisters etc. It heals AMAZINGLY. We also use peppermint. I mixed it with safflower oil too as it stings if you use it straight and it gets on your skin. I smell it when I feel a headache coming on. It is also good to just wake you up a little. We use lemongrass oil to repel bugs. Again, mixed with safflower oil so it isn't straight (it too stings if on the skin straight). We rub on our wrists, ankles and neck to repel mosquitos. Finally, we use Thieves. It smells really like oregano...but we put a small dab on the bottoms of our feet all winter during "sick" season. It is supposed to help immunity. It is the combination of herbs that the thieves who robbed plague victims used to not get sick. This is a tough one to know if its working because it prevents something...so who knows if we get sick less because of the oil or just because...but it can't hurt. Lavender is BY FAR our favorite and most frequently used. My daughter thinks it can cure ANYTHING! Have fun learning about oils.Heatherhttp://www.oliviapeters.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
