Family Favourites and Links for the Weekend – No Personal Space, SheReadsTruth and Young Living Essential Oils Giveaway!

It has been a whirlwind week around here! I am looking forward to a refreshing weekend with my husband at Paul David Tripp’s marriage conference What Did You Expect. Last year we attended his parenting seminar, Getting to the Heart of Parenting. I would encourage any parent at any stage of parenting to get to one of these seminars, or listen to the CD / watch the DVD. They were so life-changing and convicting, but also very encouraging. Paul David Tripp has a way of shooting right to the heart of the matter, no dancing around issues, fully supported by scripture – and in such a way that you feel a renewed passion and determination for what you are doing. PDT is a favourite around here! :0)

We have one more giveaway for you to celebrate the blog redesign, and it’s a BIGGIE! Many of you know that I like to use essential oils – for refreshing scents around the home, in my skincare products, added to my new “shampoo-free” routine and for health benefits.

Jodi McKenna is the one who introduced me to Young Living Essential Oils and her website Naturally His has loads of information about how to use essential oils. To end off this great launch week, we have an amazing Young Living Essential Oils giveaway for you!
