The Benefits of Lavender

Essential Oils... it's not hocus pocus!

The use of Oils are dated back to biblical times. They were used to anoint, to heal, and even to unite. Personally, I use oils for my mental and spiritual state (in terms of balancing emotions) as well as for my physical state. One of my favorite oils is Lavender as it has many purposes. It is an oil that can be diffused or rubbed on directly!
- It has a Calming Effect
- If the boys can't go outside to play because of the weather
- I am feeling stressed out... I will apply lavender to my wrists as well around my neck. I also have a rice heating bag that is infused with lavender. When you apply it to your back or stomach, the heat mixed with the scent is so soothing!
- I rub it on the bottom of the boys feet if they are having trouble sleeping
- It has healing properties - I use this on scrapes and burns that they boys get from playing to rough. I use it on spots of swelling and painful joints. I will use it on the back of necks for headaches. I've even used it on our babies but rash!

Fool Proof Bread! If I can make it, anyone can! We go through so much bread in our home that it was silly to keep buying loaf after loaf especially when you realize all the "extra" ingredients the commercially made loaves, contain! THIS IS NOT MY OWN ORIGINAL RECIPE but I've tweaked it to find what works best for us! The original came from YouTube somewhere!
