Ninja Mom and Young Living Essential Oils

Ok, so in July my 2 year old got Hand,Foot, Mouth-- for what felt like the 10th time this year.  As I was Pinterest'ing "make it stop"-  Young Living Thieves oil kept popping up.    I did some more research and knew I would be "all in" for essential oils.


Oils get into your body thru the skin or inhaling (diffusing).   You can either roll them on with a carrier oil (Coconut Oil) or diffuse them in a diffuser (one comes in the kit with YL).   Once the oils are in your body- they go to work to support and "fix" issues.
In my household we are looking for support with: ADHD, anxiety, good sleep, high blood pressure, stress, foot pain, and overall health.

I decided on Young Living and bought the starter kit...  Here are my "miracle" oils and why...

1) Vetiver:   this very thick, smokey, earthy, took me a while to get used to it, GEM....it's a miracle worker.  It suppresses the Central Nervous System and puts anyone to sleep in minutes.   Imagine your husband playing on his phone in bed (like normal).   You diffuse Vetiver... then 5 minutes later he is snoring!     My kids are in bed within 5 minutes after rolling it on their backs. It also helps with ADHD!

2) Frankincense:  it's expensive for a reason!   1 drop in my moisturizer= porcelain skin!  And it is the MOTHER of all oils.   Diffused and rolled on can create ultimate peace + balance.

3) Cedarwood:  this oil is pretty cheap and brings sleep to all.

4)  Valor II:  a blend that helps with courage, ADHD, snoring, TMJ, and overall balancing.

5) Lemon:   very cheap + mixed with baking soda in paste form you slather it all over the toilet.   Let it sit, then spray vinegar on it... let the fizzy awesomeness happen.  Wipe it up-  a perfectly deep cleaned toilet!
My 2 year old goes to town with lemon/water in a spraybottle.   Won't hurt him, he can even ingest it.

6) White Angelica:  a blend.. that my cool sleep app says increases my sleep quality by 10%!   So...  I diffuse it nightly.

7) Acceptance:  makes me feel good.

My Do's and Don'ts: Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, Ca (you can bring wine)

**I get nothing for this post, I paid full price for our room. You know me, I am all about giving advice when traveling...  I hope this is helpful: July 5-7 we were at the 2nd Happiest Place in Anaheim, Great Wolf Lodge (GWL).  Holiday weekend, you would think to steer clear...NOPE!    Do it!!!!!! .. this is a GREAT vacation! Imagine a large hotel room (we upgraded to the bunk bed cabin style for the kids).  They get own section of the room in a themed bunk bed with own TV (it's a BUNK bed, just do it).    Imagine a HUGE water park with lots to do, and not long lines... because only those staying at the hotel can go to the water park.. the longest line we waited in for a tube slide was 10 minutes.    They  have a lagoon area for the tiny tots, a HUGE play slide area for the pre-schoolers, and the rest for big kids (48inches) and bigger.     Money saving tip-  get the cheaper room, and book 60+ days in advance.  ...

Disneyland in the Rain with kids- here is your Ninja packing list:

Rainy days are the BEST days to go--- no lines- literally you can walk on to everything!   How to do Disney in the rain: 1) Everyone in 2 layers.   (thermal for kids) 2) Ponchos for the adults!    $5 at Walmart!  Buy an extra for the stroller- cover it well when you have it parked.  3)  Towels- when rides are wet and you are NOT because of your 2 layers and poncho, you don't want to get wet right?!   So put the towel down and sit on it.  4) Mattress waterproof crib pads- to cover legs of kid in stroller!    You see the purple rain boots- those are my 4 year olds.   Mattress pad (the baby ones at Walmart that fit a crib) over his legs.  Poncho on top. 5) Waterproof shoes for ALL!   (double socks) 6) a GOOD Weather app that tells you when RAIN is going to start.   We figured out the heavy rain was coming at 11am-2pm--so we left to take naps during that time.  7) Chan...

Ninja Mom's BEST budgeting tips...

Money- Americans have made this such a taboo subject-  read Suze Orman's words... talk to your kids about money all the time.     We don't share our ideas, what works, what doesn't work enough!  Budgeting is major adulting, and it's FUN!  It's empowering, and by logging every dollar- you have more control to get out of debt, save, or buy fun stuff!   (Same goes for weight loss- just log your food intake-  #1 rule to dieting).  1) Baby Step #1 Dave Ramsey is KEY-  save $1000 FAST!    After you have your $1000 then stop using all credit cards you carry debt on.    Let's say you need brakes for the car, boom- you have the cash (no need for credit card).  Opps, you have tags due next month- boom- use the $1000 fund.  I call it the RESERVE fund.  It is stored in an saving acct that links to my checking acct.     Also- increase your car deductible to $1000-  boom- you have it in case an acciden...
