I want to share my day to day activites balaning life with a son with Down Syndrome and My work at home job with essential oils. Between 3-4 appointments a week and spreading oil love.

It's been a crazy month so far. Colin turned 2 on Saturday so it's been lots of planning for that. I have some pictures to share for that. <br>
We made marshmallow paint cans. <br>
Just dip them in water then in the sprinkles. <br>
We also made rice crispy bar paint brushes. We used pre made packaged treats. Add a stick and just dip in chcocolate and let cool. Then dip in colored chcocolate or vanilla almond bark. Let cool and package in individual treat bags with a ribbon. <br>
We also had PB&J paint pallets. I simply made PB&J like I usually would and used an aluminum can to get the shape (just bend in one side) and then I mixed food coloring with a bit of water in a paint tray. I used a straw to punch the thumb hole and a second straw to drop the colors. (By holding my thumb over the end to suction it in the end of the straw) they turned out very cool! </p>

Copiaba is one of my favorite oils! This amazing oil is used for pain, stiffness and digestion. It actually works too! I use it the Lemon Dropper bomb all the time. <br>
And spearmint is one I've been dying to get. It's like a less intense peppermint! I'm so excited guys!

Here's an idea on how to spend your extra income. Instead of wasting it on toys and clothes, invest in your family's health by purchasing a premium starter kit. It's a great addition to your house any time of the year. </p>

So I jumped on Facebook and asked my oily friends for advice. Followed by a Google search I decided on Dawn Dish Soap and Purification Essential Oil. I can't believe how much better she smells!  <br>
Now having a sleeping toddler and 2 sleeping pups. I would say that is a sucess! <br>

2cups water<br>
Roll of paper towels (select a size)<br>
1 tbsp Baby wash<br>
1 tbsp Oil (I used grapseed, you could also use coconut) <br>
Essential Oils (I used lavender and Melaleuca)<br>
Wipe container (we have a wipe warmer)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rip up paper towels to smallest size. Fold the wipes in an accordion style. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Put the paper towels folded into a container. (I used a Tupperware container to soak them in before putting them in the wipe warmer)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Boil 2 cups water. Then remove from heat, add 1tbsp oil of your choice, and 1tbsp baby wash. Stir. Add 10 drops each of lavender and melaleuca essential oils. Pour over paper towels. Let sit for a few min and your good to go. And they smell amazing. </p>

Yield: Makes 15 mini bars<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Ingredients</p>
<p dir="ltr">2 ounces beeswax<br>
2 ounces coconut oil<br>
2 ounces shea butter or cocoa butter<br>
10-20 drops lavender essential oil</p><p dir="ltr"><br>
Instructions</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter just until they turn to liquid. Immediately remove from the heat.<br>
Stir in the essential oil and pour into molds.<br>
Unmold the bars and store in a cool, dry place. To use, rub over skin and then rub in as you would your daily lotion.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Notes: You can increase the ratio of beeswax to shea butter and coconut oil to make a firmer bar for hotter temperatures.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Here is what you will need to get started:<br>
Makes 10 Pudding Pops</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Popsicle Mold and Popsicle Sticks<br>
• Small box (3.3 oz) Instant Jello Pudding – White Chocolate Flavor for white layer<br>
• Large Box (5.1 oz) Instant Jello Pudding - Vanilla Flavor for yellow and orange layer<br>
• Honey<br>
• Red and Yellow food coloring<br>
• 4 cups of milk</p>
<p dir="ltr">Step 1: Prepare White Chocolate Jello by mixing pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups of cold milk. Note: This is less milk than the box directions call for. This makes the pudding pops richer and creamier. Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey and transfer pudding mixture to a large plastic baggie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Step 2: Prepare Vanilla Pudding by mixing pudding mix with 2 1/2 cups of cold milk. Again, a little less than the box calls for. Stir in two teaspoons of honey and divide pudding into two bowls.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Step 3: Color one bowl with yellow food coloring, adding just a few drops at a time. Next, color the other bowl orange by combing yellow and red food coloring. Transfer the yellow and orange pudding to a plastic baggie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Step Four: Snip corner of plastic baggies and squeeze pudding into popsicle molds. Start with white layer and finish with yellow. Tap mold on counter between layers to reduce air bubbles and level the mixture.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Step Five: Freeze pudding pops 2-3 hours or overnight.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These are so fun to make, and the touch of honey in the pudding gives them a real candy corn flavor!</p>

Help support local families by purchasing a premium starter kit this month. 10% of proceeds will go to help a local Down Syndrome Organization that provides helpful information and support to parents of children with Down Syndrome. They were a huge help and very informative during my pregnancy and afterwards. I have learned so much! I will be sharing some fun facts about Down Syndrome throughout the month. I want to spread so much awareness that all that will be left is acceptance! </p>

I have found that the <a href="http://www.outofmilk.com/" target="_blank">Out of Milk app</a> is extremely helpful. It helps to keep me organized and allows my husband to add to it if I forget something. Of course its the same thing for our shopping lists and its AWESOME!! Now that I have the list done though, I have to wash all of our clothes and get outfits together for everyone. In addition to normal packing this trip we have a wedding to attend too so have to bring dressy shoes and the whole shindig. should be a fun time thought. Well on that note I wont be posting the next few days but feel free to contact me and comment with your recipes.Chrisstie Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13911463787360849756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848669927032951726.post-67713600039971976472014-09-22T08:46:00.001-07:002014-09-22T08:46:25.852-07:00Delivery!<p dir="ltr">Next best mail delivery of the month came today!

What's a lemon dropper...? Well we are just the best possible group to be a part of! Haha we have an incredible upline that helps out each and every team member and customers. We look out for eachother in the best ways. Always trying to help everyone to be successful in their oil journey, whether they are our customer or not by answering questions and offering advice. I love this team! Our upline creates marketing graphics tailored to each distributor! How great is that!? They also create tools for us to use to grow our business and help to teach new people. Best part? Anyone can become a lemon dropper by becoming a Young Living member through any lemon dropper!</p>

I’ve already shared with you all the <a href="http://www.thehappierhomemaker.com/2014/05/7-plants-that-repel-mosquitoes.html" target="_blank" title="7 Plants that Repel Mosquitoes">7 plants that repel mosquitoes</a> but in case that post didn’t convince you how truly <strong><em>anti-bug bite</em></strong> my stance is, I’ve got a backup defense today that’s actually a pretty fun and cute craft-DIY Citronella candles.<br />
<strong>Supplies:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>mason jar-size of your choosing</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PEZZDC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001PEZZDC&linkCode=as2&tag=thehapphome06-20&linkId=FDU3KMSXGCGOT275" target="_blank">smokeless candle wicks</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092RKDN6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0092RKDN6&linkCode=as2&tag=thehapphome06-20&linkId=5L2VHA4FY5I3TQGH" target="_blank">flaked soy wax</a></li>
<li>Young Living Citronella Essential Oil</li>
</ul>
Make sure your mason jar is clean and dry. Microwave soy wax in glass container for approximately 2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds. Note-for my small jar I was able to melt my soy wax in the microwave, if you are doing a large jar you may want to use a double boiler instead. I melted my wax in 1 cup increments and my jar took 2.5 cups total.<br />

<br />
While your wax is melting prepare your wick by placing it on the bottom center of the jar and wrapping any excess around a skewer or pencil balanced on the top rim of the jar. This keeps your wick in place while your wax hardens. <br />

<br />
When wax is fully melted add 10 drops per cup of Young Living Citronella Essential Oil-as always, I only recommend Young Living oils because of their purity and high level of quality…read more <a href="http://www.thehappierhomemaker.com/2014/03/essential-oils-101-2.html" target="_blank" title="Essential Oils 101: The Basics">here</a>.<br />

<br />
Carefully pour the wax into the candle mold. If the wick gets disturbed put it back in place before the wax cools.<br />

<br />
Allow the wax to dry undisturbed for 4-5 hours or until firm.<br />

<br />
Trim the wick and light that baby up! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how well these all natural candles repel insects over store bought ones, many of which don’t even contain citronella oil but rather citronella fragrance. Boo!<br />
The fun thing is you can easily make any kind of scented candle you want by replacing the citronella with other essential oils (again, I don’t recommend any brand other than Young Living for this!) Add some pretty fabric and bakers twine and you have a perfect hostess gift or even a candle wedding favor!<br />
