My favorite uses of Essential Oils
As I mentioned previously, I love essentail oils. They smell great and there are so many uses for several of them. Today I wanted to share some of my favorite uses for oils.
First, Thieve’s Oil Blend. This is something I mix and use often, as in daily. Thieve’s is a blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. There are many different variations of how much of each to mix, I use a 1 to 1 ratio of each. Easy to remember and smells great. I mix these in a brown glass bottle and have it on hand when I need it. For cleaning, I mix vinegar with water and then add drops of my blend until it overpowers the vinegar smell.

Yum. There are no words to describe the wonderful, and easy, bread. I have tried so many recipes for bread in my first year of being gluten free, but this is one that I keep coming back to again and again.
Yummy! So, the family has decided to go gluten free and in our new quest, we are trying out tons of new recipes. One of my favorite sites is Stephanie O’Dea’s
Last weekend we picked up some berries from the Amish Farmer’s Market. I had the intention of making berry cobbler with them and then on a whim, decided to go gluten free. I frantically searched the internet for a quick and easy recipe last night as these berries needed to be used ASAP. Found one and off to the grocery store I went. It was YUMMY! If I hadn’t made it, I wouldn’t have guessed it was GF!
We’re on a school break and while the kids are getting along, I wanted them outside. No amount of telling them to go out was doing it! They kept finding things to do inside, which goes quite against my efforts to clean. Somehow, the idea of paint came across my mind and off to google I went. Finger paint shouldn’t be too hard to make.
