    If you have any plastic cash or actual green bills after Black Friday, I’m going to make a list here of some ways you can spend what’s remaining. Full disclaimer – yes, everything I share here can help me earn plastic money and genuine money as well.  Most of it in rather tiny ways, but we all know how piggy banks get filled – one coin at a time. Let us now commence my pretty much shameless plug here for all the ways I use side hustles to foot the bills for my family. (And let me include a photo here so you can see how tall and cute these…

    Me and Young Living: At the Beginning

      So. Essential oils. I’ve been learning slowly about the benefits and the uses of essential oils for years.  A friend of mine calls it voodoo magic and that makes me laugh.  She and I both joke about that title and we both seem to pair skepticism along with a willingness to give it a go.  That and more than a handful of occasions where the voodoo crossed into experiential fact and here I am today writing this post about essential oils. I definitely like the smell of oils.  And at first, perhaps, my dabbling in them was primarily because I like stuff to smell nice.  And a house that…
