Being a Housewife isn’t actually a job! Is it?!

by Melissaupdated on June 28, 2018June 28, 20183 Comments on Being a Housewife isn’t actually a job! Is it?!

If this Housewife title upset you, then I guess we have something in comment. I know that even working mom’s work their ass off to keep up with work and kids! But housewives have to suffer the loss of having “our say” because we do not earn a salary or physically leave to go to …

It's not often when #HappinessWins but today we got to sit and scratch through a packet of cookies so that Zoe could spell her name πŸ˜‚ and for once we didn't argue about eating too many cookies because at least we know that @happyfamilyorganicssa doesn't have any nasty ingredients.

  • My @essentiallivingsouthafrica Young Living essential oils are like the best thing that ever happened to me 😍, we use our Oils every day for so many different things, as a natural health and wellness system, skincare and more. And it's the only company I have come across that rewards its members so well for reffering people 😱. What if you could get paid into your bank account every month, just by referring people to buying Young Living? If you bought jeans that you loved and told your friend and she bought them too, does the shop pay you a kick back? Well Young Living sure does? 🌿 So that's what I do now, that's my gig. And I reach others how to do it too, all while just using and benefiting from these amazing oils and the opportunity is endless! Did you know that when you Rank silver with YL, you get an all expenses paid trip to The lavender farm in Utah 😱😍. All you have to do to start your journey is inbox me and purchase your Starter kit from me or purchase a oils selection to the minimum of 50pv. Change your life with Essential oils today, ditch and switch out chemical products and learn how to use Young living.

  • This year we are teaching Elfie how to choose healthy snacks for his naughty escapades 😜 so he is bringing us a selection of @kiddylicioussa treats! Most of which I am addicted to so we are all fighting over them. The Strawberry fruit bakes are mine, end of story πŸ˜‚ Ethan loves the cheese and veg straws, crispy tiddler (these are beyond cool) and Apple Biscotti.
All healthy, some gluten free, some milk free, egg free and so on.
