After getting all of my wood surfaces clean with the Orange Oil Wood Cleaner, I wanted to get some much-needed moisture into that wood with some conditioning oil. Like the first time I tried creating my own cleaner, my requirements were pretty simple. It needed to be effective at conditioning the wood, and it needed to smell good.

Orange Wood Conditioning Oil Recipe - Do It Yourself, DIY recipe, Make your own conditioner

To make the base of my Orange Oil Wood Conditioner, I chose almond oil. Almond oil is known to be a wonderful non-toxic wood conditioning oil appropriate for finishing eating vessels made of wood. So I’m pretty sure it is safe for my furniture! To make the almond oil smell amazing, I added Orange Essential Oil. Orange Essential Oil has the added benefit of antiseptic properties and potential mood lifting properties. And no wonder — after cleaning all the wood with the Orange Oil Cleaner and conditioning all the wood with this recipe, the whole house smells like summer!

Orange Oil Wood Conditioner Recipe

2 Ounces (1/4 Cup) Almond Oil

10 Drops Orange Essential Oil

Pour into storage jar and shake to blend well. Use tiny amounts on a cloth to condition wood. Test in an inconspicuous place first.

(If you want to add just a tiny bit of cleaning power to this recipe, you can add 1 TBSP vinegar and shake well.)

Again – if you really like the smell of LEMON in your wood conditioner, you can substitute Lemon Essential Oil instead, which is similar in antiseptic use and possible mood lifting effects.

PLEASE: Test this and all other chemical mixes in an inconspicuous place on your wood finish before applying in large amounts. Your results may vary.

As with all citrus oils, these oils can be phototoxic and should not be used by small children or applied to the skin before going out in the sun. 

NOTE: I order all of my essential oils from Rocky Mountain Oils. They ship for FREE and are of the highest quality without requiring any MLM participation or markup. You are going to love these essential oils!

    Does this work well on butcher block countertops as well?

      I’ve never had a butcher block countertop before, I’m not sure how they are made or how this would work?

Our Latest Shenanigans

Instagram post 2170540124801438298_583360598 So this just happened! As we made the last major turn to get to our #homeschool co-op, my back tire did not make the turn without hitting the curb and what felt like something metal. My tire is completely flat and on its rim. Fortunately a sweet friend from co-op came and got my kids, and roadside assistance is on their way to jack up my van and get the spare on. Fortunately this is not one of the tires we just replaced — AND — this one is under warranty. #momlife #thankful #weareallok #nobodygothurt #momsofinstagram #woah #flat
Instagram post 2169879110326070687_583360598 Circumstances, sin and the brokenness of this world will leave life less than perfect. But when we chase a perfect God, read His perfect Word, and follow His perfect way, we will find His perfect peace. ... Girls—we can have perfect peace without a perfect life!

Instagram post 2169022457087059083_583360598 Couldn’t resist an extra post this morning! This is so true!!! In fact my German car fell back in time two weeks ago. I’m not even going to touch it. Nope. Don’t even go there. #fallback #joyofmom #momlife #momcar
Instagram post 2168440362367304136_583360598 What a beautiful reminder that Gods got this! He has the whole world in his hands. He already knows the whole story! The victory is already won. .
Hang in there mama. God chooses the rulers and authorities. God rules all of creation. God carried the weight of the world on his shoulders so that we don’t have to try. .
Trust in this - the God of the universe who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. . 
He will carry it. The author of our faith.  Not you. Him. .
God’s got this. .

Instagram post 2166966740079591220_583360598 I love it that this boy actually asked me for a hike. It didn’t end up being a long hike. But we got in the woods, we stomped around and explored the river bank. We went uphill and searched out treasures in the woods. It was a good hike. And when we got back in the car even the sixteen year old said, “Mom, I’m glad we came.” #getoutside #playoutside #godcreated #naturespeaks #homeschoolmom #homeschool #momlife #hikersofinstagram #instahike #kidswhohike #hikewithkids
Instagram post 2166239162007849393_583360598 Who needs to just take a deep breath, and rest in the promise that God isn’t finished revealing your story yet? 
This is just a chapter! New seasons are coming, and whatever difficulty you are experiencing in this very moment, this too shall pass. 
So keep your chin up mama! His mercies are made new every morning. Rest in that mercy. 
I’m so thankful for what God has done in my life, but I’m also incredibly grateful he’s not finished with me yet! .

Instagram post 2165617683159458994_583360598 #sponsored It breaks my heart that we have so many hungry children in the United States - the land of plenty. Food insecurity is a real issue in this country and I want to make a difference. This week I learned that compassion is an action verb. Its not the feeling of empathy -- compassion is the act of helping. It's time to take action and fight hunger. That's why I am pleased to partner with @FoodLion to raise hunger awareness through #FoodLionFeeds and the #NoEmptyPlate challenge. You can help!

Instagram post 2164810844435915869_583360598 You are not alone.  You are busy, you are struggling with your kids attitudes, laundry piles, meal creation, dust bunnies, more laundry piles and a thousand other things begging for your attention. You are needed 24/7 and you are tired mentally, emotionally and physically. You are a mom - and you are not alone. Be encouraged mama. You got this! You can do it! .
How can I pray for you today??? .

Instagram post 2164389082514591713_583360598 We are finally getting Fall colors! I was beginning to despair it would not happen this year. I’m so grateful for the sights and sounds of Autumn. We listened to rain all night soothing us in sleep and woke up to this splendor - seems like the leaves changed overnight.  #rainfall
