No-Tox cleaning wipes

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 nero-typical daughter

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.

My Instagram

insta

 

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.
If that interests you, come follow along.

Holidays are here

Holidays for me (when not traveling) mean one thing…. slooooooowwwww.
I make little plans, try not to have a schedule and just breathe.

It’s for the benefit of me, and for the kids, especially my two non-neuro typical boys.  This slow down allows us all to reset and recharge.  I mean our phones need charging every day, so do we.  But certainly, holidays are the best time to reset the practice of self-care.

This spring break I’ve been diffusing Siberian fir  (if I can’t get to Mountains I may as well imagine I’m there) and Spearmint (I just love it!!) daily.
