Earlier this year if you had told me I would be using oils for everything under the sun instead of running to the doctor for OTC meds I would've laughed. We never thought we would be "those oil people", but guess what, we are!  

What is a lemon dropper? 

We are a large group of Young Living independent distributors whose purpose is to help educate and inspire. There are some lemon droppers that are not in the business part and only purchase for their family.  Then there are others(like myself) who not only purchase for our family, but help others and become independent distributors.  You could do it all on your own educating yourself and others OR you could do it with us as a team along with having access to a huge oil library aka "The Lemon Aid Library".

What works for myself and my family might not work for you, so make sure you do your homework and research companies, and test, test, test!  Also, make sure when trying out the products you order directly from the suppliers, yes, you can find these on other website, but many times the oils are diluted!

Mommy Picks: Chocolate Bar Indulgence

Bars are just the best, aren’t they? The edible kind, I mean—cookie bars. (Yeah, I know what you were thinking of, but it’s not the weekend yet, mamas.)

Bars have all the deliciousness of a cookie without two hours of scooping, shaping, and hauling pans in and out of the oven. With bars, you stick it in once, pull it out, slice, and done!

And since chocolate happens to be one of my favorite things, I thought it would be fun to share with you the chocolate bar recipes that make my mouth water just thinking about them. Chocolate likes to get around, though. It can take many dance partners, and I’ll admit: I love all combinations equa-…well, mostly equally.

There is nothing better than summer!! Seeing your kids running through the sprinklers, playing soccer, softball, rolling down hills and just playing till they have nothing more to give! When the sun sets you see your babies enter the door with filthy little hands and feet climbing up to the table for dinner. Oh how they had such a fun day filled of adventures and imagination. 

The heat is rolling in for summer. Your kids are home all day, and when they run around outside all day, they come back hungry. Sure, some part of us longs to toss over a packaged snack and let them fill up on those. Packaged snacks are quick, easy, and don’t ask you to turn on the oven when July humidity sets in.

Thankfully, there are many creative mommies out there who have dedicated time to finding those healthy, yummy, and most of all easy snacks. Here are some of my current faves:

Ready to celebrate the Fourth of July? Our Independence Day is a chance for us to celebrate freedom, patriotism, and all good qualities the U.S. of A. has to offer. We have some ideas for kicking the celebration into high gear! Show off your pride in your nation, and get a little red, white, and blue this year!
