We all struggle as parents in different ways. When mom doesn’t feel well, unfortunately, it affects the kids, cause mom feels a bit cranky. Well that has been me the last week or so.
I have been hit with insomnia which I thought went away years ago. But it has crept back into my life. So I tried staying up late so I could sleep, cut back on caffeine, played a little harder with the kids. Yet I found myself wide eyed awake each night feeling like a zombie as I moved through the day and having mommy melt downs throughout the day.
Well finally I reached out to some other essential oil user contacts of mine and took some advice. I took a warm bath with lavender essential oils early that evening. Then I rubbed wild orange oil, cedarwood oil, and lime oil on the bottom of my feet. Right after putting my kids to bed I avoided any technology, rubbed clary calm oil on bottom of my back and got in bed in hopes that all I did would promote restful sleep. Well lucky me. I slept like a baby and the next morning was bright eyed and chipper for my kids. Thank goodness for those essential oils.
