- Part 2

Washington DC

Wowzers! It’s been quite a while since I last shared anything on here with you all. In an effort to keep myself a little organized, I’m going to share our most recent summer travels and then work backwards from there.

We decided that it would be fun to spend 4th of July at our nation’s capitol this year. It was hot, crowded, and we did more walking than I ever want to do again. However, we had a great time and I think the kids really enjoyed being able to see part of our country’s history. We managed to make it to the National Archives, The Natural History Museum, The Air & Space Museum, and The American History Museum. We were also able to make it to the White House, the Capitol, and most of the monuments and memorials.

Our first full day there was July 4th and we started the day off with a parade.

We ended the day with a concert at the steps of the Capitol and then watching fireworks on the Mall.

I don’t have many photos from inside the museums, but here are some of the highlights from around the city!

The Desert Mist and New Oils

Leave a Comment

You guys, I am totally freaking out today! Not only did Young Living update their premium starter kit yesterday with a sample packet of the awesome plant-based Thieves cleaner and a couple of different oils, but today they announced that my favorite diffuser is now available when you buy your kit!

The Desert Mist is an ultrasonic diffuser that functions as a humidifier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser in one simple-to-use product. Inspired by the design of a stylish Moroccan trellis, the Desert Mist Diffuser brings an exotic and modern look to any space. It also helps support a natural environment by replacing harmful household fragrance chemicals with naturally derived essential oils.

Using ultrasonic frequency technology, the Desert Mist Diffuser generates waves at 1.7 million per second, breaking down essential oils and water into millions of microparticles, dispersing them into the air, and releasing the oils’ unique constituents. This diffuser is custom designed to diffuse continuously for 5–6 hours on High mode, 8 hours on Low mode, and 10 hours on Intermittent mode. It also offers 11 individual light settings, including a candle-like flicker mode.

The kit comes with 11 of Young Living’s most popular oils…

Thieves – the healthy-keeper, it boosts immunity, and smells like Christmas.
Citrus Fresh – NEW! neutralizes bad odors; makes a yummy linen spray, and is great on skin.
Copaiba – supports body’s response to irritation and enhances other oils.
Frankincense – incredible for skin, eases occasional and minor tension, promotes feelings of calmness and balance.
Raven – NEW! smells and feels amazing in a chest & throat rub and makes me want to breathe deep.
DiGize – supports a super healthy digestive system, and is a MUST HAVE.
Lemon – maintains energy levels, supports in detoxing your body, good for digestion, immune system.
Stress Away – exactly what it says; we roll it onto our wrists and the back of our necks anytime we want it.
Peppermint – supports the digestive system, promotes proper nasal and respiratory function! Love this stuff.
Panaway – so many types of relief, especially with muscles!!
Lavender – “the Swiss Army knife of essential oils.” We use it for enjoying the springtime outdoors, great for relaxation, a calm environment for kids, and dry/irritated skin.

This kit is hands down the best value.

I’ll hook you up with more info if you’re interested and I have a stellar welcome gift to send you when you grab your kit!

Funding an Adoption!

If you’ve been waiting for a deal to grab your oily starter kit, I’ve got a pretty great deal for you today!

For every kit sold from now until midnight, I will be buying a puzzle piece ($20) to raise money to fund an adoption for the Tucker family.

The puzzle piece will have your name on the back and go in a double sided glass frame in the baby’s room forever and ever. So cool.

You can grab your Premium Starter Kit as a wholesale member HERE.

And if you don’t want a kit and just want to donate, you can do that HERE.

2017 was a good year for our family. We traveled a lot, made some great memories, my baby started kindergarten, we hosted an exchange student from Spain, and both my hubby and I turned 40 in Mexico with some of our closest friends. Thank you all for following along with our crazy life through this blog of mine. Cheers to 2018!

Smoky Mountains

Leave a Comment

I am slowly but surely getting caught up on my travel posts. 🙂 Today I’m sharing our trip to the Smoky Mountains from October 2016. We loaded up the car and drove from Tulsa, OK to Gatlinburg, TN. If you’ve never been to the Smoky Mountains in the fall, you need to make a point and go! Friends, it was gorgeous! These pictures don’t do it justice. The colors were so vibrant and the air was crisp and clear.

Just outside of the entrance to the state park is a barbecue restaurant. We’re not huge bbq fans, but you know we couldn’t pass this place up! And of course, we bought hats. 🙂
