My "go to sleep" kit for babies and kids

Now that my daughter is one and her sleep is pretty regular, I am doing my best to keep it that way with nightly routines. With cold season coming up I know we are going to take a hit with my son bringing home lots of germs from preschool which always affect the kids' sleep. I'm sure our future holds many nights with the humidifier and nightly wake-ups due to coughing. I rely on my go-to sleep kit mainly for my daughter but I also can use it on my 4 year old son on especially rowdy nights or when he is sick.

I add a cup or two of magnesium flakes or epsom salts to their bath to start the calming process. Most people are deficient in magnesium and making sure your body is getting enough is key in getting proper rest. Other benefits include: improving circulation, stress relief and improving skin hydration among many more.

I spray Mommy's Bliss sweet slumber mist on my daughter's favorite lovey so she can snuggle it while she drifts off to sleep and not have to worry about the smell overpowering her pajamas. All of Mommy's Bliss products are safe and free of yucky chemicals. Sometimes I spray this on my pillow!

I roll essential oils on her feet as a final step to set the tone for sleepytime. My blend contains lavender and I feel that smell triggers something in her to know its close to naptime or bedtime.

What are your go-to tricks or routines in getting your kids to have good quality rest?

new rituals with essential oils

I started researching essential oils (other than Oregano) at the end of last year and dove in to the world of doTERRA shortly after. I am slowly building my collection but have already found ways to incorporate these oils into my daily life!

-Lemon and Wild Orange in my water as a detox (make sure to only use glass, not plastic! the oils will draw the toxins out of plastic and into the water...not good!)
-Oregano on Jonas' feet when he has a cough or cold
-Eucalyptus and Lemon blended with coconut oil to rub on Jonas' back and chest to reduce mucus and make it easier for him to breathe
-Lemon and warm water to clean the carpet in my house
-Peppermint for upset stomach, a pick me up or fresh breath
-Lavender in Jonas' bath to help calm him down, for cuts and scrapes or put behind my ears to help me fall asleep
-I gave my bottle of Frankincense to help with my mom's arthritis in her fingers. It's working!
-Past Tense for headaches
-DigestZen for upset stomach
-OnGuard for everything during the cold season!! Rub it on my neck and chest to keep me healthy or fight a bug. Also it smells incredible.

I have a long list of oils I want to buy next. Do you use EO? Have any favorite uses?
