Keepsake Question of the Day - Roman

What is one tiny detail about Roman that you love?

We love his mysterious dark brown (almost black) eyes. No one else on either side of the family has eyes as dark as Roman's!

Tried and True Essential Oil Recipes

I began using Young Living essential oils back in May 2015. I was very skeptical at first, but began to quickly fall in love! They have been very necessary throughout my pregnancy as I have been trying to eliminate as many over-the-counter and prescription drugs as possible. These have been the following medications I have been able to eliminate through the use essential oils:

  1. Ambien
  2. Atralin (topical acne medication)
  3. Nexium/Pepcid/Tums
  4. Topical pain relief (local anesthetic) cream for scar
  5. Aquaphor 

Sleep

I diffuse lavender and/or tangerine at night for sleep.
