Essential oils are great for all the things!  Choose the best combos for whatever you are trying to combat.

Here is a recipe for insects

Add 8 to 10 drops of desired essential oil to a gallon of water and spray directly on plants or the soil around them. Click on the link for a table of essential oils best used for each critter.

To deter ground moving pests add 4 to 5 drops of Essential oil to cotton balls and scatter around the area.

🌿 My Story: From Frustrated Mom to Natural Solutions

There was a time when life felt a lot harder than it needed to be.
I was doing my best to care for my growing family—but when it came to the everyday bumps, bruises, sniffles, and sleepless nights, I felt stuck. Everything I was told to keep “on hand” didn’t sit right with me. I hated relying on over-the-counter medications that only masked symptoms, especially for my little ones.
Then came the allergies.
One of my daughters struggled every spring, and my mama heart knew—there had to be a better way.
During one of those heart-to-hearts with my niece, she told me about a natural product that changed everything for her. I was intrigued, but I waited... for almost a year. I guess I was skeptical, or maybe just overwhelmed.
But that next spring? Her allergies hit hard. I was tired of the cycle.
So I took the leap—and I’m so glad I did.
What started as a simple step turned into a lifestyle shift. The products worked. No more allergy meds. Fewer sick days. More energy. And as I kept learning, I found even more ways to support my family naturally—from seasonal sniffles to emotional stress, and even hormone balance for me as I navigated perimenopause.
Now, instead of feeling helpless, I feel empowered.
And our family is stronger—and healthier—because of it.
If you’re longing for that kind of peace too, I’d love to walk this path with you.
Come learn with me—one simple, natural step at a time.
