Okay well everyone has some sort of stress no matter if you are a mama, wife, single, etc. Although, I didn’t always have a good way to naturally decompress and help ease stress in my life. I am very blessed to say oils have truly helped in ALL aspects of my life. Especially being 35 weeks pregnant I want to limit or reduce my stress as much as possible in the most healthy way.

I have been using Young Living Oils for over a year now and I have come to find that the Thieves essential oil blend is one of my favorites as well as my family’s because it naturally boosts our immune systems and helps us when we are feeling icky. This oil is considered a ‘hot’ oil which means you need a carrier oil which is a fatty nut oil to help dilute the essential oil. I love and use this one but you can also use this one! I buy the Roll on bottles from Amazon or here and use them all the time because it makes applying diluted oils a breeze especially with little ones and how busy we can get!

Yes everyone can love their first trimester of pregnancy! In all different ways. I am not saying my way works for everyone! I am simply sharing what worked for me and hopefully can help others! I grew to LOVE my first 14 weeks of pregnancy because I prayed and looked to God but also used my heaven sent oils! My first pregnancy I was graced with no idea what morning sickness was! I felt great and just over the moon about being pregnant. This second pregnancy even with my excitement I came down with the so-called ‘dreaded’ morning sickness.

Essential oils are a topic that are widely talked about in health circles but also looked upon as a hippy trend or fad. I had no prior knowledge on essential oils other than you can use them for unscented natural laundry. I went to a health food store and bought Eucalyptus, Lavender and Tea Tree. My goal for my family is to reduce the amount of toxins in our household.

Welcome to That Mama Love!

Here in my first post  I am super excited to introduce myself as Jenna Ostrowski, wife to Nick Ostrowski and mama to Harlo and a little one on the way! We can’t wait to find out what we are having! I am truly blessed to have this little family! I have always wanted a blog but didn’t quite know how others would look at it. Truth? I am NOT the greatest writer  but I have A LOT of thoughts and LOTS to share about my life as a mommy! I decided to forget any naysayers and any doubts and begin my blogging journey. So if you don’t like how I write I will be okay 😉
