Coughs. Colds. Flu. RSV. Urgh I’m so looking for

Coughs. Colds. Flu. RSV. Urgh I’m so looking forward to spring and the end to all this sickness.
With a 👶🏼 and a 👧, this cold & flu season has been tough. Finding a balance between cabin fever and out & about all the time is not for the faint of ❤️. That’s one of the reasons why I started incorporating essential oils into our routine. Thanks to @viscontiwellness, I’ve added OnGuard, and Breathe doTERRA essential oils to help keep colds at bay.
And bonus 🙌, I’ve fallen in love with some of the other oils like Lemon (elevates mood & smells clean), Lavender (better rest at night), and Peppermint (not only do I love the smell, but it’s a great pick up when my energy feels low).

I used to believe I was great at time management.

I used to believe I was great at time management. But then I had a kid & then another kid, and the concept of time just kinda went out the window.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm loving this new post from @thelocalmomsnetwork and @campbymama because we all know that running a household with kids can feel a lot like herding cats—nobody ever stops moving, and usually in different direction, only stopping every so often for a cuddle. Mom of three, Megan of @campbymama share her best tips, from not over scheduling to letting go of perfect. 🙌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’ve been saving this post courtesy of @thelocalmomsnetwork for a snow day. But due to the lack of ❄️ this winter, I thought I’d share it tonight due to the ☔️ forecast for tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
