It's safe to say...kids are back in school!There's always so many emotions surrounding going back to school, for both our kids and us. But I think this year takes the cake. The emotions ran from excited to freaking the freak out. There was a whole lot of unknowns and not enough answers.
I know as a mama I want to be able to have all the information and be prepared for as much of the "back to school" things as I possibly can, but with all that is going on and constantly changing, it was obvious that, that wasn't going to be as easy to accomplish as it has been in the past. There was one thing that I knew I could be prepared for and that is keeping my boys healthy throughout the entire school year. Man, that statement takes on a whole new meaning now doesn't it!?

One thing is consistent and that is I can make sure that my boys, the whole family, is doing everything we can to make sure that we are feeding our bodies what it needs to be in fighting shape. The past 18 months didn't teach me that, but it did show me how very important and thankful I am that we have resources and tools available to us to keep us well.
Mamas we know when the kids head to school our wellness can take a hit. For some crazy reason kids like to over share on all the things we wish they wouldn't -- germs. School can bring a whole host of challenges that our kids have to deal with and keeping them well through it all is our priority, no question.
We all have our different ways of doing that but we all can agree that making sure they are getting 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩, 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙨, all of the 𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙨 & 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨, and 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 is pretty much a good foundation for keeping them healthy. For us adding to that list is having good, quality supplements that actually work and essential oils.
The boys take Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc, NingXia Red, Inner Defense and/or Thieves Roll-on every single morning along with a few other things throughout the day. Adding these things into their routine insures that they have all the back up and support because let's be real, our modern world has created a mess when it comes to getting everything we need from just food.
I've created a list of my must haves for back to school...
✏️ 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘭-𝘖𝘯
✏️ 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦
✏️ 𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘟𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘥
✏️ 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘖𝘪𝘭
✏️ 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘺𝘶𝘴 𝘖𝘪𝘭
✏️ 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘊
✏️ 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘋
✏️ 𝘡𝘪𝘯𝘤
That's just the short list!
Not only do I focus on their wellness from a keeping well stand point but also giving them boosts with their emotions -- focus, confidence etc.
Y'all know I'm all about the easy button so I created a Back to School Bundle that you can shop all of the Young Living items. There's tons of my faves for the kids in the bundle.You can pick and choose what you want from the bundle. Zinc is the only thing that I don't get from Young Living, I grabbed it from Amazon. We've been using the Zinc supplement from EIDON but I also like the Mary Ruth's too.
Whatever you choose for this school year, know that you are making the right choice for you and your family!
