Who wouldn’t want fewer chemicals in the home and the classroom? Essential oils help you rid your home of toxins and chemicals. Here is one recipe for no-tox cleaning wipes.

My goal is to enable teachers to use oils to encourage learning and wellbeing for their students and themselves. Any teacher who signs up with me will receive an oils + education + wellbeing oil guide created by me.
My daughter is neuro-typical. Have you heard that term? I hadn’t until recently and I’m a teacher. But when you have two boys with ADHD you hear it a lot. They are non-neuro typical.
I am so thankful for Addison. She is my balance. The boy’s teachers usually only contact me with issues, never positives (naughty teachers). Phone calls from Addie’s teachers tell me they wish they had a class full of her.
I worry all the time that the amount of school focus the boys need takes away from celebrations of the fabulous, dedicated, kind-hearted student she is. I have to worry less. Here she is with a recent worker of teh week award.
My favourite part about this award … ‘it is noticed’

Addie’s favourite oil is rosemary. She diffuses it at night. She also loves peppermint, lavender, and lemon to help with her hayfever. SHe uses doTERRA TRIEASE when her symptoms are bad.
In my experience both as a teacher and a mother to TWO ADHD boys, most teachers think only of the challenges related to it. They think it’s only about being naughty, only about behavior. But it’s not.
Maxx:
He can’t sit still
He has emotional outbursts
Parker:
He forgets EVERYTHING
He often looks exhausted because of sleep disturbances and can rest his head on the table as a result
Yet, his energy results in a taping of his leg
But there is much beyond the challenges that can be tapped in to.
No denying teaching them would be hard. But if you delve a little deeper, if YOU think a little different you can unearth some magnificence. I understand would be challenging but I’ve rarely had a teacher acknowledge their challenges just trying to fit in and learn like everyone else. My boys constantly come home telling me they feel like failures at school. Something is wrong with education. Can it be fixed? I’d like to think so.
Have you seen my Instagram? It’s a mish-mash of my oil use and teacher life. I try to represent the balance of work, life whilst spreading some joy.
Instagram is such a funny thing. As a media teacher (designed to question representations) I find myself in this strange love/hate relationship with Insta and other social media platforms. I love their potential for connectedness, I hate their misuse and cause of disconnectedness.
Above all else, I strive for authenticity. I know it’s a buzzword but I truly believe I live it. What you see is what you get. sometimes it ain’t pretty (well it’s never very pretty, lol) but it’s always, always real.
