I guess you could say it all started with In-N-Out.  In-N-Out #2 in Covina, California to be exact.  My dad started flipping burgers and making fries at In-N-Out when he was 16 years old.  A few years passed and he was movin' on up!  To manager.  He met my mom when she walked up to the counter to placed her order.  She and a friend had both noticed how handsome my dad was and decided one of them had to get his attention.  So they both laid on the flirt and guess who won?  Lets face it, she was a bombshell!  117 lbs, in a 5 foot 10, long legged body.  She was a hairdresser with bright red hair, and fake eyelashes. He couldn't resist. They got married and started on their journey together.  

Growing up in town my dad always had dreams of being a farmer.  He wanted to drive a tractor, collect eggs and eat tomatoes off the vine.  So they bought a little plot of land in southern california and built a house on it.  He finally had his chickens and tomatoes.  Along came a few kids, me being the first. After a few years they got a wild hair and decided they needed to pack up and move their little family up north.  

They found their dream in a small town in central California.  We moved into a little farm house on 12 acres, with LOTS of chickens.  We raised chickens that eventually became someones dinner.  About 90,000 chickens at a time, (nope that's not a typo, it was really 90,000).  We had steers, horses, dogs, a milk cow named Daisy, and lots of kids.  I'm the oldest of eight children, 4 boys and 4 girls.  We had a fun, happy childhood all crammed in that tiny house with one bathroom.  I quickly became the doctor of all those kids because my mom didn't like blood.  So when ever there was a cut, scrape or burn, I took over.  I loved being the one who took care of everyone.  

Jump forward a few years......I married my childhood pal and sweetheart, and we started our own forever family that I could take care of.  I love taking care of everyone's hurties.   So when my poor hubby started getting migraines, I'd give him the only thing I new to give him,  acetaminophen.  Over the years his migraines got worse and worse.  The medicine I gave him didn't work anymore.  We tried everything we could think of.  The medicine the doctors gave him didn't work.  We felt like we were up a creek without a paddle, going no where.  It was a helpless feeling.

This is when our lives changed.  We were introduced to dōTERRA Essential Oils.  The first time we used them we were floored with the results we got.  I applied the oils 3 times over about a 30 min period and his migraine went away.  What did we use?  Frankincense, Wintergreen, Peppermint and Deep Blue.  We just rubbed a few drops of each oil on his head where it hurt.  We felt so blessed to be given this beautiful gift.  We have been changed forever.  We don't look at healthcare the same anymore.  I'm a natural mama and love it.   Our kids haven't taken a lick of medicine in over 3 years. The end story is...... we live, breathe, and eat dōTERRA Essential Oils!  I am empowered!
