Aromatherapy
What is it? The science of scents and their impact on our brain chemistry and overall health is called aromatherapy. Using natural scents to calm, invigorate, balance, or focus throughout the day is a beautiful way to bring wellness into your routine.
Essential oils feel and work differently than vegetable oils. Vegetable oils are pressed from the seeds of plants and feel slippery and greasy to the touch. Essential oils are distilled from plants and are highly concentrated extracts from all the plant parts; flower, tree, root and shrub. They are light to the touch and evaporate rapidly. Because they are so concentrated, a little goes a long way.

Trusting God with My Kids
So, I told you I have been reading The Mom Walk by Sally Clarkson. Some of the stuff is just really speaking to me- where I am. I wanted to share a short part of it.

speaking the same language
I love the blog C Jane. Her most recent post, First the Babies, really speaks to me! All you moms, who like me, are having a hard time with contentment at this stage of life- read it and connect with her. It speaks of just being content where we are, simplifying life and enjoying the day. Hope you like it too!

great quote
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

joy, joy, joy
Aaron Keyes, our worship pastor, spoke last week on joy and it’s good! Watch this … I pray that it will encourage you to seek and rest in the joy of the Lord! (Sept. 6th)

ready to turn the page
i think the time has come- time to get in shape and get rid of the baby weight. i mean, seriously! those nine months really catch up fast. but, here i sit, 4 weeks after she joined us and i am ready for the old body back. but i am aiming to reach way back to the way old body! i still had a good bit of weight left from my pregnancy with jeremiah. so, you can imagine- lots of pounds to loose! 
step by step, though!
my plan- well, i’m a terrible dieter. so i am going to try to eat healthy, made good choices, drink lots of water and exercise consistently. it’s really about lifestyle. but it’s on! i know i have to start back slowly because of the C-section. so the next couple weeks will be easing into it. but i am motivated.
i’m also hoping to get the hubby on the plan with me! i want to model healthy living to our kids- not just hope they’ll catch it somewhere.
so, here we go. here’s to healthiness!

finding contentment in being a mom
this world can really pull at you! unintentionally, i find myself ascribing worth to those who are doing things outside the home- great things, fun things, adventurous things. lately, mainly since having kids, i find myself seeing real worth in those moms who really invest in their kids. that’s the kind of mom i want to be. God gives us these years that we can really invest- why would i want to waste those elsewhere? i am totally not saying that you cannot do other things. because i think we need it to stay sane. but i want my priority to be my husband, my kids- our family. i believe that’s what the Lord has called me to.
