Visions for 2018
Isaac got his first bath today 😍 and loved it, natch. Neither of our boys were bathed immediately after birth, and I love that sweet newborn smell! 🤱🏼 Kind of hope it never fades... Also love that our Seedlings baby wash is gentle enough to not overpower that sweet newborn-ness! 🌿💛
Recipe below!! 😍 We started using YL oils four years ago this month for Elliot bc he needed some sleep support. We’d tried other brands but never had quite the desired outcome til YL. 😴🙌🏻 Now I’m so glad to have them from day one with Isaac! 🌿😴🌿😴🌿 Sweet Dreams linen spray: 10 drops Gentle Baby 20 drops Lavender 10 drops Frankincense Splash witch hazel + fill with distilled water. 🌿💛😴 Spray on bed sheets, pjs, lovies, etc!
#BASIC AF 🍁🎃 Pumpkin Spice @rxbar and #whole30compliant latte giving me life! My man went back to work today and life with two is a definite learning curve. 😳🤷🏼‍♀️ But everyone is fed, clothed and happy so I'm counting that as a win!! 🙌🏻
September vibes 🍁🍂 One of the things I love most about my job (besides helping families live healthier + happier lives!) is the ability to make my own schedule. Take five minutes to send some messages, then play legos with my son. Nurse my babe then jump on a call with my ladies. 😭🙌🏻 It is the best type of freedom to know that I don't have to worry about 'maternity leave' and that if I need a mental health day after not sleeping, I can work that in pretty easily. Best. Job. EVER! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
How cute are these cloth diapers from @norasnursery? Cannot wait to see Isaac's tiny baby bum in them. 😍 We will start around 2 months and chose cloth for its gentleness on babe’s skin, environmental impact + cost effectiveness. 🌿💛 I got some questions about laundering, so here's our process... 🌿 Used diapers + liners + wipes go in a bin with baking soda + tea tree oil. 🌿 When it's time to wash we use Thieves laundry soap! If needed we add a couple drops of tea tree directly to the load. I use 1/4 a capful for a load + have had zero issues. 🌿 We use Seedlings Diaper rash cream + had zero issues with it too! 🌿 With Elliot I started out making my own laundry soap, but it didn't clean well, especially as he got older + started solids. #thankgodfor Thieves!
We started using oils not long after Elliot was born, and I remember few such a sense of relief knowing I had tools in my toolbox. 🌿🙌🏻 for everyday needs, for the bumps in the road, for staying above the health line. 🤱🏼💛🌿 We love the prediluted Kidscents oils especially! Specific blends for homework, owies, tummies, sniffles + sleep. 😍🙌🏻
FALLING LEAVES // Northern Lights Black Spruce + Idaho Blue Spruce + Clove + Orange 🌳🍂🌲🍁 Inspired by my previous love for Bath & Body Works ‘Leaves’ candles (before I realized they’re full of crazy toxins 😳) 🌿 Psst sending a diffuser bomb of this to anyone who gets their kit by tomorrow night! Kits are still 10% off! 💃🏼🙌🏻 Link in profile to order!
One of the simplest + most versatile #whole30recipes is a big salad! 🥗🥒🥑think outside your typical salad veggies and mix it up with different protein + toppings + dressing to prevent food boredom. 🙌🏻 I love apples + berries, chopped up veggie noodles, artichoke hearts, roasted sweet potato + zucchini + brussels, nuts + seeds, and dressings by @tessemaes or @primalkitchenfoods or make your own! 😍💃🏼
