Welcome to Twelve Oils!

Welcome to Twelve Oils!  I am so excited to be starting this blog!  I am Aaron's wife, Eli and Abram's mom, I have a chocolate lab named Tuck, and I am a Christian saved by grace! Thats me in a nutshell.

But the reason I have started this blog is because I am sick of all the "perfect mom" blogs!  Anyone with me?  I am NOT perfect.  I live on a budget, my home is not always clean, I make 1000 lists a day and fullfill zero of them. I try to make a wholesome, healthy, perfect meal for my family every night but lets face it I usually succeed 20% of the time.  But I am doing the best I can!  Or am I?  Let's just say I am going to try to do better but this blog is NOT going to be everything I do RIGHT.  Its's going to be everything I do.  Sometimes I won't get it right.  Pinterest fails anyone?  Parent fails?  Yeah.  I got em!  I want this just to be a place you can come and laugh, learn, and have fun reading about a mom that doesn't always get it right!

I named my blog twelve oils because I have recently started using essential oils to keep our family healthy naturally.  So far, so good.  I will give you updates on that journey and let you know whats working for me and whats not!  (and if you are ever interested in learning more just contact me)

As I have been writing this my one year old (Abram) literally climbed on top of me, then onto the desk and came very close to pushing the entire computer screen off the desk and onto the floor.  So my solution?  Give him the home phone to play with.  He likes to push the buttons and it keeps him busy (don't judge).  Just pray he doesn't call Tokyo!

I must also warn you that I am not a writer!  I write how I think.  So bear with me!

Looking foward to laughing with you!
