Ohhh just life...

Well, I have finally had enough of Farrah's baba addiction! As hard as it is to take it away from her I'm doing it, no more excuses! I'm starting by only giving her water in it, which goes along with the fact that she drinks a very large amount of milk during the day :/
The tantrums so far have been livable but she never quits. Unfortunately her breath holding spells have trained her to be a champion crier!
But not only am I just giving her water I am putting a drop of lemon essential oil in her first bottle/cup of the day :) I am also doing the lemon water for Kobe, it is something I would like to teach them to do for life because of its many benefits!

So besides all these little hurtles we are making we have decided to teach the girls about service. Every week The girls are doing a service for someone or something. Luckily we have found many cute ideas on pinterest :) to add to that my girls are starting "The Smile Project" this idea came to me when Farrah's spells and crying fits were at their worst and anything that made her smile I suddenly became very grateful for! So every Sunday the girls will post about something they are smiling for :) I am also considering making a "The Smile Project" Facebook page. So you might also be able to follow them on there! I am so excited to see what my girls young minds are going to share with the world :)


And since I'm obsessed with pictures here's one of my growing fashionista!!

Sleeping Beauty

Farrah continues to be a trouble child with bad luck.
I have always been super careful where medications are left and kept but it seems with using melatonin every night the bottle was left out. Farrah and Kobe were playing under the table while I sat working on something with them at my feet. Well... It wasn't long before Farrah came to me with white powdery looking stuff on her face and figures. So I did a quick search under the table there I found a empty melatonin bottle with its purple lid laying next to it. We estimated she ate about 7, thank goodness the bottle was almost empty and I found three slightly sucked on pills laying on the floor. With a quick call to poison control I was told she will be fine they have had kids her age take up to 75mg and be fine and Farrah only took 21mg. She is currently asleep on the couch I'm betting that we will have some midnight adventures tonight ;)

Here's some pictures of her current state. LOL

My Growing Obsession!

My last post was about Farrah's awesome success using an essential oil called digestzen. But our journey with essential oils doesn't stop there! She has also been using the oil frankincense for 3 months and has not had a breath holding spell the entire time!! With no spells our life has drastically changed and we are working our way into normal activities and milestones.
Also, common colds don't last long in our home. A few drops of breath and onguard and my girls are well on their way back to their normal rambunctious selves :) our experiences with the oils goes on and on! I have never felt so in control and empowered as a mom! I am so grateful for these oils and I hope all parents can learn more about them and start using them for their many benefits!

If you want to know more about the awesome benefits of essential oils go ahead and message me on Facebook or my email is lisacramerpft@hotmail.com I would love to answer any questions you have!
