Belated Top Five: candle scents

-

 Hello!


A little late in posting as we’re Al settling into a more relaxed summer schedule for the next few weeks before the busier part picks back up right before school. 

My top five today is candle scents, being that we’re in summer these are definitely spring/summer oriented, but even if you don’t burn them, a strong scent will still work some in the area without fire if it’s scorching outside!

I didn’t used to burn candles at all after an incident with our cat trying to warm her butt on one in Alaska. She was fine but it scared us away from candles for a while. Now I love them again and Belle has become older and much wiser. (I say this as she’s bathing herself right in front of me. 🙄)



1. I love all things lemon… need I say more?



2. Diamond of the Season by bath and bodywork’s is Bridgerton themed and I am here for it!



3. I’m also loving this Peach Bellini that Grant got me for Christmas. Apparently I’m a fruity floral scent person! 🥰



4&5. A tie for me as these are candles that you make yourself with a custom scent. You can also reuse the jars which I LOVE!!! This one is orange, but I’ve also got some that are a little woodier or you can go very different with leather and dew or any three combined scents really. The folks who work there always have great suggestions! Seriously check out the Candle Lab!!!

That’s all for this post! 💛 Jess

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun

Good News Thursday: Netflix Kids shows featuring conservation and ecological responsibility

-
 Good Morning! Both of my kids have about one to two hours of scheduled 'rest' time every day. This is my chance to do some chores that just aren't as safe or feasible with little helpers or frankly take a break myself so that I can remain patient and centered for them.  During this time, they can nap or look through books, we love I Spy, especially with letters or ocean animals, but sometimes when they're a little too excited and really need to be in separate rooms, I'll let Jamie watch a TV show while I'm trying to get Leo to sleep. (Leo just needs a little more than the average bear and while we've weaned off of 14-16 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, he still needs minimum of 12 to be his happy self.) I've been pleasantly surprised to find that there are a lot of ecologically responsible kids shows on netflix and so here's a list of our favorites! 5. Izzy's Koala World - this is an 'Irwin Family' style show of a family in Australia
