Spring Cleaning With Thieves: Clean Home Workshop
I recently had the opportunity to host a local event all about spring cleaning with Thieves, ditching and switching to plant based products, and why you will love Young Living products as much as we do! It was SO MUCH FUN so I thought I’d bring the content over here to the blog as well!…
My Give A Damn Is Busted
I have been blogging for 10 straight years now- truly- I started this blog in February of 2012. When my first born daughter was 15 months old, to chronicle our life as she grew up. To keep family in the loop (we never lived near any of our family!) and to share all of the…
The Chickens
I repeatedly said that 2021 would be the year of the human baby (it was, but we also added two kittens somehow….) and that 2022 could be the year of the animal babies. We kicked it off strong by adding 5 (then 2 more!) healthy, egg laying ladies to the Spena Stead. To be perfectly…
Wellness
oh hey! Hi! I’m Courtney – and this is my husband Jim, and our kiddos Abigail, Mabel, Finn, & Lochlan. We are Gold (Courtney) & Executive (Jim) leaders with Young Living, and we freaking LOVE educating about wellness, purpose, abundance, and essential oils.

As you can see from these pictures….(and be thankful it isn’t smell-o-vision…) this house required so….
Oils For Emotions
Did you know that you can use essential oils for emotions? As hippie woo woo as it sounds- don’t knock using essential oils for emotions until you try it! The smell-emotion connection starts in the limbic system, often referred to as the “emotional brain”. This portion of the brain contains the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus and…
The Cabin
The story of the cabin. So, let’s see- where did we leave off? Ah yes- leaving Joplin and the Kansas City House. Let’s back things up. As I shared in my Kansas City house post- we knew in the summer of 2020 that we would not be staying where we were. And so we started…
The Kansas City House
The one about the Kansas City House. As if writing about the flip house project didn’t get me all up in my feels enough- this one really takes the cake. And is also why it has taken me nearly two years to share about it as well. There were so many hopes, dreams, and excitement…
