Natural living gift guide has gift ideas for the naturally minded friends and family on your list.

Gifts for the Natural Mama or Natural Mama Wannabe

DIY Gifts for the Natural Mama

I think handmade gifts are so special. I often give DIY body butter, bath salts or lip balms to friends in gift baskets. Everyone raves about them!

Quality ingredients make all the difference. They make a cost-saving gift feel luxurious.

These are my favorite DIY gifts to make and put in baskets.


*Bombshell Basket*

A perfume roll on, glow serum for face and skin scrub (for face or body) are the stars of this DIY gift basket for a natural mama who likes to feel pampered. (Who doesn’t?!)

DIY perfume roll on – These are my favorite combos to make DIY perfume.

Sclaressence, Joy, Ylang Ylang + Lemon, or Bergamot + Lavender are some of my favorites.

Glow serum – In a small dropper bottle, combine 2 drops of each essential oil below and top off with jojoba oil at the end.

Blue Cypress

Ylang Ylang

Citrus Fresh

Grapefruit

Lemon

Lavender

Frankincense

Geranium

Patchouli

Skin scrub – This is so versatile. It can be used on the face a couple times per week or use it on arms and legs to exfoliate and reveal healthy skin.

Mix together 1 T baking soda, 1T table salt, ¼ cup coconut oil in a small jar. Then drop in 5 drops each of lavender, peppermint and lemon essential oils. This will smell so great and make your face feel so smooth.


*Relax Mama Gift Basket*

Ooh the spa at home life will be strong with this collection. These DIY items combine body butter, bath salts (that can be used as a foot soak too) and a relaxation roll on. Any mama will feel deep relaxation and of course very loved when she receives this gift.

DIY body butter – I have shared two body butter recipes on the blog. One is super luxurious night cream and the other is a rejuvenating fresh citrus version.

Bath salts – Easily make multiple jars of these bath salts in less than 10 minutes. I shared the recipe and made the jars live so you can see it in real time. Check out my making DIY bath salts gift idea.

Relax roller – I buy these rollers on Amazon. Into the roller I put 10 drops each Lavender, Vetiver and Frankincense then top off with olive oil or fractionated coconut oil.

A second combo you could try is dripping 30 drops of Stress Away into the roller bottle and top of with your carrier oil. Choose your favorite and make that one in bulk for friends, teachers, Sunday school teachers and neighbors.

**Try these additional DIY gift ideas that inexpensive to make!**


Book Ideas: Natural Living Gift Guide

Know a nerdy mama (like me) who loves reading about how the body works, health and learning how to live naturally? I have the go-to book list for natural living.

Wheat Belly

Grain Brain

Healing Oils of the Bible

DK Human Body

30-Second Anatomy

God’s Healthcare

Make a great book gift basket of a couple books plus a mug and Vitality tea set. Learning and relaxation in one for the naturally minded mamas.

Pre-packed click and ship gifts

My two favorite natural living-aligned companies are Young Living and Scout & Cellar. I told you in a recent video in our community group Stay at Home Moms Share Together why I joined Scout & Cellar.

Both companies operate with integrity and keep the bar high with their purity standards.

Pre-Packaged Gifts for Moms from Young Living

The demand for Young Living products actually broke their entire website a few weeks back. That is a sign that this company is making products that have an impact.

The Young Living holiday catalog provides members and retail customers the chance to order unique wellness-supporting gifts for those on their list.

Right now when you join Young Living and order from the Holiday gift guide, you will receive free shipping, a welcome packet of information from me, access to our members-only group Natural Living Easy Route, and products that have an impact.

The Young Living Foundation means that purchasing from YL makes you a partner in the foundation which is doing so much good around the world. No extra charge for you and you have a global impact.

Wine is an easy gift to give during the holidays or any time.

Gift Sets from Scout & Cellar

Who likes wine?! Wine gifts make an impact especially wines that are clean and not dirty.

Are you eating clean and drinking dirty? You may be and not even know it.

I learned about Scout & Cellar after trying the wine. I have always loved wine but never liked how there is added sugar and coloring in many store bought wines.

I felt horrible after drinking these and could start to notice them just by looking. Once I learned about Clean-Crafted™ wine, I was sold!

Scout & Cellar Clean-Crafted Wine is grown naturally with no synthetic pesticides. It’s bottled consciously, which means nothing funky is added in the cellar as it’s converting from grapes to wine!

Finally, you know when you spend all of that time looking at every ingredient label in the grocery store for High Fructose Corn Syrup? Well Scout & Cellar does that for us when it comes to all the junk that can be found in the average bottle of wine!

They test every bottle to make sure it is free of sugars, chemical preservatives, or anything else that isn’t found in nature. That is what makes it Clean-Crafted and what sets us apart from all other wines.

I wanted to make sure you know a couple of things: Shipping is free when you spend over $99!

Clean crafted wine for the naturally minded mamas.

Don’t forget about Scout Circle Wine Club! It ships free, too!

Also, we have some volume discounts to note: 6-11 bottles is 5% off, 12+ is 10% off if you are feeling like stocking up! And, really, who isn’t right now? Lastly, these wines will deliver right to your door.

Usually in 7-10 business days, but they can get it to you sooner if need be! (remember our wine club perk?)

Most importantly…they have a Satisfaction Guarantee that they stand by. Please know that any wine that you order that doesn’t live up to your expectations can be replaced. You seriously can’t go wrong!

Ok, your turn! Tell me which gift sets or gifts ideas were your favorite from this list?

I pictured myself as a mom of boys before having m I pictured myself as a mom of boys before having my babies. I have learned so much from all my children but having my girls is a blessing I never knew I needed. 

Want to eliminate mean girls? Raise daughters to do the opposite.

Want to teach women to better communicate with each other? Raise daughters to listen and articulate.

They are my own little girl group and I am grateful for it. They love me on my bad days and give me compliments I do not even deserve. 

I do love being the mom of girls (and boys). They both teach me so much. 

What are the top lessons you wish girls would learn before becoming adults?

Will you be spending time with family for Easter? Will you be spending time with family for Easter? 

My husband’s parents have arrived - adding one more big dog to our house and lots of crafts and fun. We have not seen them since June. Everyone is excited to spend time together.

Both of my big kids have birthdays and we will all get to spend time at the beach this month. Our school work will morph into field trips so we soak up every day we can being present with family. 

I am looking forward to making memories, soaking in time together and celebrating two milestone birthdays - one happening tomorrow. 💛

Ice cream after helped of course. 😂

All prepped for my in-laws coming to visit us after not seeing them since our move last summer. Looking forward to some fun events ahead that will make my kids think they are on spring break but they will technically be field trip days. Check, check. 

Are you guys on spring break this week? What do you have planned?

Some days you put on the 10 year old comfy jeans, Some days you put on the 10 year old comfy jeans, fill your mind with encouragement and just keep moving forward. 

Recovery days are not just for working out. They are for the mental state we walk around with too. Yesterday felt heavy. My God is a power lifter and takes the burden away. 

Today will be better.

Today we will rest and refocus.

Hooray for comfy jeans, motivational graphics and the Word to focus on through it all.

🌟That Face!!🌟 That little boy is soon to t 🌟That Face!!🌟 

That little boy is soon to turn 13, guys! I mean in a few weeks. 😅

This is a throwback but brings back so many fun memories. 

—————————————

I love creating activities and crafts on the fly. Always have even before my kids were here.

I noticed that my son did not have a lot of little toy people to play with while he was pretending one day. We have a few cylinder blocks in a set. We never used them when we built. I thought we could turn them into little DIY toy people. 

They were so cute and easy to make. It was a preschool art project for him. We made them together.

If you don’t have wooden cylindrical blocks at home, you can use pieces of wood dowel or even a few square blocks glued together. You can even make DIY toy people out of toilet paper tubes. 

🌟Full details through Blog link in bio 🌟

——————————————

I am so excited and yet in complete shock by how fast these little lives grow. I have never missed moments and I am so so grateful especially as we approach the teen years in my house. 💛 Soak up even the hard days of being a mom. TOTALLY worth it.

👌 There are a lot of parenting opinions out the 👌 There are a lot of parenting opinions out there. I try to ignore a lot of them. 😂 

My kids stay up later than most recommend, but so did I when I was a kid. 

She loves to read. She loves to write. Abby writes plays, journal entries, songs and on a bad day she will write her feelings about it all, in depth, no holds barred. 

This night she was trying to finish up a play - setting, character details, order of lines - for a play she made for her younger sister. 

I am so thankful that we can count her love of writing in her free time as school work. I am so thankful that how we do school allows this passion and talent to thrive. She has stacks of drawings, plays and writing blurbs. They are all precious to her.

There are days I question whether this choice or that choice is right or “approved,” but it does not matter when I see my children dive deep into the things they love.

Family time this Sunday was a 5k fundraiser race. We helped raise 💵 for the spouses’ club scholarship fund. Scholarships will be awarded for post secondary education to military kids and spouses. 

If you can choose any action in life, choose to help others. Side bonus when it involves fun family time together.

Best day yet. 💛💛💛

💛 Friday Introductions💛 It has been a while 💛 Friday Introductions💛

It has been a while since I did a good run-down here to give ya the cliffs notes (are those still a thing) version of me. 👋 

💛 Detroit-born a few blocks from where Eminem lived. The city is still my hometown despite moving away as a kid.

💛 I am a big believer in traditional values, but with a modern woman twist. My husband drives his career and I drive this household.

💛 We live in eastern NC 30 mins from the beach. I want to stay here forever, truly, but military life will come to an end some day...still don’t know specifically when that will be.

💛Born and raised to be a planner, Type A personality, having 4 kids beat that out of me 🤣 and I am very “day at a time” now. 

💛I was a teacher turned stay at home mom turned blogger turned entrepreneur that had to set it all on the back burner a bit to focus on homeschooling my kids. I can only have so much on my plate and complete it successfully. (When we listen, God guides and is loud and clear with His direction. 💛)

💛I believe I can be humble and confident; I can be fully present with my kids and make space to rest and rejuvenate; I believe the biggest successes I will achieve in life will not have a paycheck as its valuation. 

💛I believe that true peace, value and love all come from Jesus. 

You will find me sharing the ups AND the downs of motherhood, wife life, homeschooling and being a Christian woman with the modern day pull to fight what that can mean. (There is def a force trying to convince us to push those values aside, my friends.)

👌What is the cliffs notes version of you? What do you want people to know/realize most of all?

🌟Teaching Kids to Make Friends🌟 Often our c 🌟Teaching Kids to Make Friends🌟

Often our children learn hard lessons when they have to move to a new state or school. 

My kids have become all too familiar with this through military life. Every three years they have to make new friends.

It is not always simple.

As a child, my family moved a lot. We were not military, but in junior high I moved to a new state and had to make all new friends.

This was a challenging and even to some extent a traumatic time of life.

Being the new kid, is a humbling experience. Suddenly you are hoping that your peers will want to get to know you and like you. It creates some self-consciousness.

Reading is such a beneficial way to teach children about life lessons. It teaches much more than that. It teaches self esteem through the cuddle time. It teaches language skills, and it teaches children to use their minds to be creative.

As they have grown and navigated more friendships, books are a resource for us to discuss tough challenges. I have found a great series of books that present friendship challenges and help children learn to navigate them.

It just so happens that the author is my neighbor too! How cool is that?! Moms are amazing.

These books will be treasured by your family for their quality values. The @stingrayjelly series teach children how to make friends and navigate friendships to love others well and support them through shared similarities and recognized differences.

Author, Lauren Giannella is a military wife and my neighbor! Anna Perdue is the illustrator and also a military child. 

Read my blog post for details on each book and links to purchase through @barnesandnoble 

We love our military community and all they do to give back.

What are your favorite children’s books that teach children how to make friends or help them maneuver through tough life challenges?
