I love essential Oils but that doesn't mean my pets do!

-
So although many of us LOVE our essential oils as a great way to keep the house smelling good but also provide a natural way to help control that which ails us it could have a negative effect on our animals.  There are many oils the are toxic to both cats and dogs. The ASPCA has put out a notice about using essential oils and their affects and snopes as confirmed that it is true that essential oils can have a terrible affect on our animals and can even cause death. So I have found a list of the most  common oils that are toxic to our Cats and Dogs.

For dogs:
  • Clove
  • Garlic
  • Juniper
  • Rosemary
  • Tea Tree
  • Thyme
  • Wintergreen

 For cats
  • Cassia
  • Cinnamon
  • Citrus
  • Clove
  • Eucalyptus
  • Lemon
  • Lavender
  • Peppermint
  • Spruce
  • Tea Tree
  • Thyme
Adverse reactions to oils include squinting, excessive drooling, scratching, increased breathing rate and lethargy.
 The ASPCA recommends that if you are using a diffuser to remove your pet from that room while you are using it  As a person who both promotes essential oils and loves my animals I feel it is my duty to ensure you are informed in these matters.

 Please use your essential oils carefully!

Alrighty well I decided to try and write a blog. This should be interesting. As a busy mom who is raising two girls and works and is always looking for the side hussle I decided why not share my stories with you. So please feel free to join me in my struggles with daily life, my tips and reviews for things I do try, random rants and anything else along the way. If you have suggestions, ideas or anything else I look forward to getting an email about it. Often I may ask for your public opinion on certain things that maybe I haven't tried but am interested in. So on we go to our new adventure and I welcome you to walk along it with me!

Today's Public School System?!?

-
I'm finding myself getting more and more frustrated with the public school system. Now granted I work for our district as a Nutritional Service Aide, but this as granted me access to really see the inside works of the schools. I've made sure to be active in my children's school because I want to know what's going on in my children's lives. One of the things I can say is SCREW this Common Core B.S. Bring back common sense. I understand that it can be important for some students to know where the numbers come from and how to turn a multiplication into an addition problem for easier solving. However it takes twice the amount of time to get the same answer. I know it's not only me who is frustrated a lot of the teacher's at my children's schools are frustrated as well. They see the kids struggling to understand but all they get told is keep pushing, hurry get through this lesson. It really is making me think that maybe I need to go back to homeschooling my...
