Welcome to My Daybook Online Journal. A weekly post here at The Littlest Way where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I’m reading or listening to, eating, cleaning, and learning. These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life and I want to remember them. My prompts may change depending on season and circumstance.

Trusting what lies ahead
Around the House…
Is it funny that it’s a big deal to me that I just bought 2 new pans? I only had a huge stockpot so I bought myself an 8qt one and I had to buy a new saucepan to replace the one we ruined with burned coconut oil.
In the Kitchen…
I’ve tied to be a little more intentional in our grocery budget this month, we still have a few days to go so we’ll see. I do think it’s harder to stick to a budget with older kids and multiple practices that have me out of the house multiple nights a week; mainly the older kids though. What do you think? Did you notice your budget increasing as your children aged?

Self Care
Oils, oils, oils! It’s cold and flu season around here friends. We’re diffusing Thieves, we’re using Thieves hand sanitizer, we’re rubbing a “Cold Bomb” roller bottle recipe on our spines and the bottom of our feet. I love that we can reach for essential oils to help strengthen our immune systems.
(I used to purchase my essential oils from Amazon or Edens Garden instead of a distributor. You can read my thoughts on why here, “Where I’m From…” I’ve since decided I don’t have the time or resources to properly educate myself on using the oils to their fullest potential. That’s why I signed up with Young Living under a former Family Practice Physician.)
