As parents, don't we all have our own little bag of tricks? Our bag of tricks is only filled by experience and daily lessons. And I am fairly certain that yours are different than mine, too! Since all bags are different, you might have some tricks that I haven't heard of or tried yet. And vice versa!
Parents are a tribe, celebrating successes and sharing our lessons in failure. We look to each other for ideas when our bag of tricks appears to be empty. And we high five each other when amazing things happen. We give and receive advice – both welcome and unsolicited – in hopes that another parent might be able to add our trick to their bag because it worked so well for us!
Today I am going to share with you an essential oil bag of tricks, so to speak. I call it “Mom to the Rescue” because in most cases you are rescuing, helping. These little Young Living Essential oils have been an incredibly valuable tool in my mommy tool box for a few years. And in the event you haven't heard of a few of these, hopefully you can add them to your bag of tricks, too!
