  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse.

Teacher’s Survival Kit

Reidea Light Choices

As many of you know, Peyton's in 1st grade. We've dealt with a lot of illnesses this year. We've had 2 rounds of strep throat, several colds, a stomach virus and the school had a head lice outbreak! Thankfully we were spared the head lice. But with all those illnesses it made me think of things her teacher could do to help promote a healthy environment. Immediately, I thought of essential oils.
