My little one has an ear infection - diagnosed at the Doctor, who also prescribed antibiotics. We're supporting his body with three extra things: 🌱 The doTERRA Kids Collection Stronger blend. This is a specific immune support blend of Cedarwood, Litsea, Frankincense and Rose. These oils are also super soothing - a bonus when trying to get a preschooler to rest. 🌱 A specific Earache blend - made with Lavender and Frankincense. This is rolled around the ear in a large circle and massaged in. Ollie has been particularly liking this one - it must feel nice to have me rub around his ear. 🌱 The diffuser - at night we're diffusing OnGuard before bed, and during the day we've been diffusing Lavender, Frankincense and Wild Orange. Again - super calming and immunity supporting. I love that I can do specific things to help his body as it fights off an infection. I'm here when you're ready to get these into your home. Just send me a DM. #preschoolerhealth #sickkid #earache #supportingthebody #selfcare #mamaofaboy

Right now, as I post this, I have a sick little one at home. I am commuting to work and my partner is at home caring for our child. He has an ear infection. I wanted to share this ladder with you - because it is this ladder that has given me a whole new perspective on how we approach our health. How I approach the health of our family. Oliver is 4. This will be his first use of antibiotics. I don't say that as a brag or an achievement - although I am both impressed and proud of that. I say it because it is possible to be proactive enough in your health care that it does become rare that you are unwell. And when you are unwell, you can be profound in self care - and start there. Most likely, it will end there too. We have been living to this ladder - regularly checking ourselves against it - for many years now. Start at the bottom first. Q: What are you eating today? Q: How are you moving your body today? Q: How will you rest today? Q: What toxic product can you swap out today? Q: How will you prioritise self care today? Q: How are you feeling today? And how are you managing that? ... my answers in comments ... Tell me yours. #prioritiseselfcare #selfcare #proactivehealthcare #youknowyou #itisyourbody #lovethyself

Where did the weekend go? How is it Monday already?! I'm still thinking of the paddle boat ride on the Lane Cove River yesterday. It was remarkably relaxing - even with a 4 year old! I woke up feeling not too inspired. Low energy, first day of my moon, very tired and a little grumpy. But we try and get out of the house with our 4 year old every day. And yesterday it was a bushwalk. I went along with a little huff and puff - with cramps kicking in and my oils on hand to help. I had forgotten though, how much a walk helps my mood. A walk in nature especially. Before long I was humming along and pointing out the brush turkeys and ducks and kookaburras to my little one. The paddle boat was a bonus but we loved it. Sunshine. Mama Nature. Loved ones. Perfect day really. What did you get up to? Sending you love. #lanecoverriver #sundayadventure #familytime #mooncycle #day1ofmymoon #mamanature

Ollie's Chore Charts - we're a few weeks in now - and having great success! (Please don't let that be a jinx!) We started with just two jobs - that I chose. And if he does the job, he gets a sticker. And if he gets to the end of the week, it's $2 pocket money. Every 2 weeks or so, we've added another job to the list. And this has been his choice. He gets to choose the job that he wants to do this week. He still has other chores to do - but these ones are the focus ones that we want to build into the routine. The ones from the first week are embedded now - I think we could stop the chart and he'd still do them. What do you do at your house? What chores did you do as a kid? Sending you love. #chorechart #boymum #mamaofaboy #parenting101 #positiveboundaries #lovealwayslove #pocketmoney

Ollie's nighttime blend. Juniper Berry, Wild Orange and Cedarwood. 1 drop each. To speed up the process - I mix 5ml of each into one larger bottle (15ml). In this case, I used a Wild Orange bottle that had about a third left. This is so much better than opening 3 bottles for a single drop each. All I do now, is open 1 bottle and add 3 drops to the diffuser. We do this 30mins before bed - usually during bath and PJ time. Do you have a nightly routine? Sending you love. #nighttimeroutine #puttingthekidstobed #bathtime #pjtime #diffuserrecipes #sleepykid #gotheftosleep #loveyouregardless

Gardening today. It was actually quite fun! And our balcony looks amazing! I'm actually quite proud of us. Herbs, lettuce, rocket, baby spinach. And flowers - African daisies and marigolds. Let's see how we go! Sending you love. #gardening_love #saturdaygardening #flowerpower #herbgarden #sage #smudgesticks #africandaisies
