Simplify Your Home: Natural Tips for Busy Moms

Let’s talk about something that's probably been on your mind lately—getting rid of those sneaky toxins hiding in plain sight in your home. 🕵️‍♀️ I know, it feels like every other day there’s a new headline telling us what we should avoid. As moms, we’re already juggling a million things (like finding that one lost shoe five minutes before school drop-off), and now we’re being told we need a chemistry degree to read labels? Not today, toxins!

If you’re like me, you’ve noticed how certain things affect your kids. One of my sons was diagnosed with ADHD in elementary school, and let me tell you, it was a whirlwind. One of the first things I did was take a good hard look at what we were bringing into our home. Out went the “fragrance”-laden products and the processed foods. I was on a mission to create a safer environment, and that’s how I discovered the magic of essential oils.

I get it, there’s a lot of talk out there about whether essential oils are safe for kids. Here’s the scoop: **yes, they are**—when used properly! Just like we wouldn’t hand our kiddos the entire cookie jar (no matter how much they beg), we need to be mindful about how we use oils. But don’t worry, you don’t have to figure this out alone.

I’ve been using essential oils with my family for 8 years, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned. doTERRA’s oils are 100% pure and third-party tested, so you know they’re safe and actually work—no guessing games!

So, if you’re ready to kick those toxins to the curb and give your family the natural goodness they deserve, you’re in the right place. I've got lots of info for you below. Got questions? Email me—I’m here to help!

Simplify Your Home: Natural Tips for Busy Moms

Oil safety with kids

  • Opt for topical and aromatic uses with children.

  • Start with just one drop of essential oil diluted with a carrier oil for topical application.

  • Use pre-diluted roller bottles for easy application.

  • Keep essential oils out of reach of children at all times.

  • Never let children use oils unsupervised.

  • Avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after topical application of citrus oils.

  • Consult with a physician before using essential oils.

  • Avoid using these strong (hot) oils topically on children until they are older.
    Examples of these oils are cinnamon, oregano, wintergreen, etc.

  • Pulse points
