Welcome! I'm Angela. This is my little corner of the web where I write about my adventures as a boy mom. I love my husband and my kids and coffee and all things chocolate. I'm a horrible cook but I love reading recipes. I am currently teaching my five year old how to read and the importance of hygiene. My other boy is currently teething, so I may sound a little sleep deprived at times. We're a homeschooling, slightly crunchy bunch. We're a little cooky but we sure do love being a family. We can be found down by the river every weekend.

I jumped on the bandwagon, but it's a really cool one

I have to confess something: For years, when my friends would talk about how much they loved their essential oils and their organic food and their various natural remedies, I would roll my eyes. Not really, that's rude, but I would kind of tune them out. I seriously thought the whole thing was silly and a waste of money.

But then I started to have an awful lot of health problems, some pretty serious. And I went to so many doctors, paid thousands and thousands of dollars out of pocket and still didn't get better. My body was breaking down, and it started to get my attention.

Through a series of events, I started seeing a wonderful Chiropractor who helped deliver my second baby. She moonlights as a doula and she is perhaps the best. I remember her showing up to the hospital with a basket of Young Living essential oils, all for me to use to help me through a complicated labor. Even nearly two years later, when I smell Frankincense, I think of the birth of my Levi.

My health troubles didn't disappear after I had him though. My teeth got really bad. I got gout. I dropped down to 92 pounds. I couldn't keep food in.I had horrible migraines. Something was going on.

I turned to essential oils because my doctors were out of answers. They wanted to put me on an antidepressant and be done with it. That wasn't something I was ready for.

Young Living has helped me in so many ways. I'm healthier, my teeth are healing (who knew they could do that?!?) I have more energy, and I've gained a few pounds ( a good thing in my case). I'm passionate about these oils because they've helped give me a new perspective.

I never, EVER want to pressure anyone, but if you'd like to start learning and growing I'd love to have you on our team. I'm looking into starting a Youtube channel on this with my husband, but we're not the most tech savvy people so we'll wait and see. 

Happy oiling!


Update: A link to my first youtube video! I have no idea how any of this technical stuff works :)
