The 4 Food Group Crusade

This morning for breakfast the menu was tofu scrambler on bread. My children had other ideas.

They wanted to add grapefruit to breakfast. OK, no problem!

After all the scrambler and grapefruit were devoured they raided the fruit basket. Once the plums were also in their tummies they raided the fridge.

Ah, great ending! Lets finish off our meal with baby bell peppers!

1...2...3...4....Grains...Legumes...Fruit...Veggies.

The challenge is on, I couldn't even eat all the food, or food groups, they got this morning!

My new vocation/hobby/facination

After no less than seven friends told me about essential oils, and all recommending the same company, DoTERRA, I thought "there really must be something to this." Oh boy, is there!

I intially started with the "family physician kit" and fell in love. Took care of ecxema, the flu (yes, my influenza virus was gone in 4 days, the hubby and kids didn't get it with preventative oils), diaper rashes, and teething pain. I was sold. I'm so excited about it, I decided to jump in and sell in. Crazy? yep! but so is everything else I do.  During some training I even learned that a combo of oils can act as an anti-histamine. Well, I was certainly skeptical but because I go in for allergy shots (thank you Arizona for NEVER giving a month of reprieve) I tried it. I did it right before my shot and it totally worked! Plus no side effects, no sleepy mommy as a side effect to the med, nothing! It was FABULOUS!
