When I was in high school I had a friend who was allowed to do whatever she wanted to do. My parents were strict, and I remember once telling my friend how “lucky” she was that she had “cool” parents who gave her so much freedom. I’ll never forget her answer.

Let the Labor Begin!
The other day, I shared on the Common Scents Mom how my daughter, Tiffany, used peppermint essential oil to get her stubborn posterior baby to “turn” during childbirth. It made a believer out of her midwife, and made for one grateful grandma on my end, as I eagerly awaited news over the phone of her progress (from 2000 …

What’s the first thing you do when someone insults you? Does it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? How about when you’re accused of something you didn’t do, or when you find out that someone is gossiping about you? What do you do when you’ve been deceived, betrayed, or slandered?
If you’re like me, your heart begins to race, and your first reaction is to become defensive. We all have …
