    With the starting of school and changing of the seasons, germs are sure to spread around more than normal. For this reason, we as a family focus on boosting our immune systems as much as possible with fresh organic foods, supplements and vitamins (read more about those here) and of course essential oils.

I have some big plans for this weekend that include starting our raised bed gardens and the weekend can’t come soon enough. (I’ll be sure to keep ya’ll updated on our gardens as we go!) This week, all the kids have been in school – thank GOODNESS the flu has finally left our house – and so that means it’s just been me and my Mercy girl. She has seriously been the best baby and I am so thankful that she has been because have you met my 3rd child, haha! Lately, she’s gotten a…
